Is it possible to install DotNet Framework 1.1 and the newest 2.0 beta 1 together on the same system?

Depending on which Framework I would like to use for the next command line compilation I would
prepend the valid environment directory (e.g. C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322;)
to the current PATH environment variable.

Is this feasible?

I had 1.1 and 2.0 on the same system recently. WinForm and console
development seemed to work just fine. But 2.0 will take over ASP.NET. In
fact I had trouble doing ASP.NET development in either version.

I ended up unistalling 2.0 and then had to repair my 1.1 installation to be
able to do ASP.NET programming again.

All is fine for me now. To be safe I would look into Virtual PC and install
2.0 that way. When you are finished you can just blow away the virtual PC
and nothing is lost.
 
AFAIR, there is something about registering IIS against the relevant
framework version.
