    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

      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, 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

                          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.

                            I see everyone gave the same answer. Mine is the same, but I'm not just saying what's been said - if you're going to use ASP.NET, then you should create shortcuts to aspnet_regiis in both folders so you can swap with version you're using. The other thing is, once you have 2005 installed, you need to open 2003 to open a 2003 project, you can't double click on it. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

                                My problems with Crystal are: 1# SetDataSource no longer works, I'm reengineering the report using my own report language based on Informix ACE reporting. 2# Crystal Redist, has a uncanny knack of uninstalling .net framework when doing a managed installation over a Windows domain - YIKES!! :omg: I hate crystal, I needed to get some management reports un a running quickluy so I battled with crystal to get the job done. I hate the why the designer works, I hate the way it tries to blackbox you from doing anything complicated. This could be a good tool, but each release gets worse. If Microsoft had this they, produce a real useful report designer. Blogless
