Installation:VB .NET V 6 & 7 on 2 different XPPro SP2 HW platforms

I need to install (for a developer associate. I am NOT a developer)VB.NE T
versions 6 & 7 on two dissimilar hardware platforms, both running Windows XP
Professional with Service Pack 2. Both are Dell platforms. One is a laptop.
One is a tower.

1. Does the "default" install suffice in most cases?
2. Are there any caveats or pitfalls to watch out for?
3. What factors affect the performance of both versions cohabiting with the
SAME operating system on two different platforms.
4. Is it necessary to disable Antivirus software or other TSR's to do the
install gracefully?
5. Any other wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

There is no VB.NET 6. Only VB6, which has nothing to do with VB.NET. There
is also two version of VB.NET: 2002 and 2003 (MS call them internally VB7.0
and VB7.1, which makes lot of VB5/6 develpers angry). Having that said,
though, you can install VB6, VB.NET2002 and VB.NET2003 all in a single box.
The operating system should be Win2K or later for VB.NET. Since you are
setting it on different computer, I do not see any problem, except it takes
quite long to install VS.NET if the computer is slower than 1Ghz on CPU.

Regarding instalattion of VS.NET, it is very sensitive. I had problem to
install it on my box. The installing process always stopped at different
stages, reporting either cannot read something and cannot write something.
And later I read a post on the net somewhere, saying not only anti-virus
process may hind VS.NET's installation, but also does spyware. I realized my
box was not cleaned enough (place Win2K on for more than 3 years and
installed/uninstalled so many different programs, downloaded lot of garbage,
got lot of popups...). So I decided reformat the disk and do a clean
installation. Then, VS.NET installation went smoothly without any problem.
Hopefully, this is the last option you'd like to try.
