VS 2003/2005 coexistence?

[Ravi Bhavnani]

The answer to this question is probably "yes", but I just wanted to confirm before I take the plunge: can VS2005 safely coexist with VS2003? Thanks, /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Yes. :)

What about compatibility...do i need to install .net 1.1 seperately in order to run old applications or they will run using .net 2.0 too ? is it downward compatible with version 1.0 and 1.1 ?

[Albert Pascual]

Install first VS2003 and then VS2005 Al

Yes, many of us here run both concurrently. Tom Archer (blog) Program Manager MSDN Online (Windows Vista and Visual C++) MICROSOFT

Sadly, I can't buy it from CP. :( We're renewing our MSDN subscription from Programmer's Connection who's our preferred vendor. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Thanks, Tom. After installing VS2005 I'll have 5 4(count 'em - five four!) MS C++ compilers on my box - VC6, VC7, VS2003 and VS2005. :) /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Yes, I already have VS2003 installed and will be installing VS2005 to a separate dir. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

It's best to install 2003 first but yes the co-exist nicely Jared Parsons jaredp@beanseed.org http://spaces.msn.com/members/jaredp/

[NormDroid]

Yes, I'm running a large application base with 2003/2005 on the same box, things to watch out for are previewcontrol and crystal, both suck - big time. Blogless

[Tim Ranker]

VC7.0 == VS2002 VC7.1 == VS2003

[David Stone]

Yeah. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't shooting my mouth off by asserting something that wasn't true. I haven't worked with VS 2002/2003 in a looong time.
