Parallel installation of VC6, VS2003 and VS2008

[PawelSokolowski]

Hi all.,

For quite some time I have been using VC 6.0 and VS2003 on the same
computer.
I have read somewhere, that VC 6.0 should be installed as a second.

Now I have to use also VS2008.
Is it possible to use all three of them without interfering one to another ?
How to install them ?

Best Regards
Pawel

Yes. You should be OK just installing VS 2008 on your current setup (with
VC6 and VS 2003 already installed). VS 2008 is a separate product.

I think it is safer to assume that installing the oldest product first
is the better way since MS would have thought about checking for
previous version when installing a newer product.
