Any WARNINGS re LOADING VISUAL STUDIO onto same computer as VISUAL BASIC 6???

Alan Mailer

I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered a million times, but...

I'm getting ready to attempt to load the latest version of VB Studio
onto the same computer on which I still use Visual Basic 6.0.

Are there any words of warning before I load VB Studio? For example,
are there any precautions I have to take so that Visial Basic 6.0 will
still be completely usable after the VB Studio load?

Thanks in advance for any/all help.

No, it should work fine. Many people are running both. (I am.)

Don't forget to install SP-1 for VB2005. It also won't impact VB6, but
you'll want it for the bug fixes in it.

I have several Virtual PC VMs with various different types of VB/VS versions
installed. I have yet to come across any problems with classic VB and VS. I
did some setups when doing some elearning stuff for MSL, and AFAIR your best
bet is to install VB6 with the latest service pack before installing VS.
Reapply the latest VB SP, if you've already installed VS.
