Installing Visual Studio 6 AFTER Visual Studio 2003 trial and Office 2003 - Is it safe?

[Dave Smithz]

Hi there,

Summary: Installing Visual Studio 6 AFTER Visual Studio 2003 trial and
Office 2003 - Is it safe?


I know this has been asked many times before, but I have seen postings about
problems so wanted to clear it up for sure.
I have Windows XP Pro.
Already have installed Office 2003 and Visual Studio .net 2003 trial.

I now want to install Visual Studio 6.

Am I asking for problems by doing this?

Any precausions I should take before hand?

Kind regards

Dave

I have done it both ways without issue. Release software is not the issue.
Installing betas is where you normally end up with a lot of trouble.

The only thing I could even remotely see getting messed up is Office, and
Office 2003 has the ability to heal if something critical is changed.
