Use VS2003 on Win2K/IIS5/ASP3.0?

[ANTHONY]

Greetings,

I've searched Google, as well as the Microsoft VStudio product site, for
quite a few days now and cant find a definitive answer as to whether or not
I can installed VS2003 on a Win2K development PC running IIS 5.0 and ASP 3.0
(the .Net Framework is NOT installed as of yet either).

I have to support production classic-ASP sites but will also be getting into
..Net development for learning purposes and eventually development to
production.

I'm wondering if anyone can confirm or deny that there is backward
compatibility before I install all of what is necessary from the MSDN discs
and find out I've made a time-costly mistake. Or, do I need a second PC to
code .Net on?

Thanks for any advice and information that anyone can provide me.

Classic ASP and ASP.NET are compatible, this was a MS design requirement.

Thank you for the reply Scott. I think I'll dive into the installs this
weekend.

Good luck. FYI: Visual Studio 6.0 can also co-exist on a machine with
Visual Studio.NET.

That is great to know. I may opt that route depending on space. Thanks
again!
