Configuring VS 2003 to run with VS 2005

[Jack Richardson]

I am wondering if there is a way to install VS 2005 to run side by side with
VS 2003. I would like to begin development using 2005, but do not want to
disrupt my current development projects in 2003. I am thinking that 2005
will maintain compatability with earlier VS versions, but I don't want any
surprises.

Thanks In Advance,

J

I haven't had any problems running side by side. Just install VS2005.

yes you can install Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 on same machine.
..Net Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 2.0 works side by side and doesnt give
any problem (well so far)

have a look here
