Express and full VS

[Robert Bravery]

Hi all,

Can the express editions of VS 2008 and the Full Professional versions exist
together on the same PC.
I have installed VS Pro 2008, But want to install C# express, VWD Express
etc on the same PC. I am trying to help some folks lear VS, they have the
Express editions, and I am dinding some small differences between the two.
It would help If I had the Express editions installed so that I can see and
understand about the differences.

If they can, what is the process as I already have VS installed


Thanks
Robert

I don't know whether it works at all, but personally I'd avoid doing
it. It's relatively easy to create a new virtual machine purely for
the sake of hosting express editions of Visual Studio.
