Visual Studio 2008 installation question
-
I wonder if anyone can give me advice on the following? On my PC I have visual studio 2003 and 2005. They work with no problems i.e. I have systems written in 2003 and systems written in 2005. I am now going to start a new project and this will be written in 2008. 1. Can you see any problems installing Visual Studio 2008 onto my PC i.e. will it clash with 2003 and 2005. 2. Will my previous systems in 2003 and 2005 still work? 3. Do you recommend this should not be done. Any feedback would be most welcome.

All three versions will coexist very happily on the same machine. Just be careful opening projects and don't convert projects you want to keep in the older versions of VS.

I had all 3 installed on my system at one time and did not face any problems. BTW - this question would have been answered better if you had asked it in Visual Studio[^] forum.

Visual Studio versions can coexist quite happily, however the last one installed will "steal" the relevant file extensions, e.g. when you double-click a .cs file in Windows Explorer, it will open in the VS version you last installed. :)

Happy New Year to all.
We hope 2010 soon brings us automatic PRE tags!
Until then, please insert them manually.
