Visual Web Dev Vs. VS.NET

[Scott G.]

Does anyone know if one can install Visual Web Dev side by side with VS.NET 03 and NOT screw up VS.NET (and ASP.NET 1.1)? I might like to play around with ASP.NET 2.0 -- but not if there's a remote chance that it going to screw up VS.NET.

Thanks.

Scott, You can download 45-days trial version of Microsoft
Virtual PC 2004 from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx

Using virtual pc 2004, you can virtually host another operating system
image on your desktop. This way you can avoid any problems with
VWD <-> vs2003 installations.

Yeah; I know that, I was just thinking that maybe this product was a litte more comparmentalized than VS.NET and I could stick it on a portable I use for testing (it doesn't have a big disk).

As usual the readme suggests to install only on a machine you don't depend on. If I remember uninstalling may break previous VS.NET installs (check out the readme)...

In theory, no. But, it is betaware.

The new Framework installs into a separate directory, but there is a
possibility it will munge the GAC and cause you issues. I would recommend
another machine or VPC rather than take a chance of mucking up your
production development machine.

I see no reason why Express should cause problems, but in the beta world
strange things happen. This comes from a lot of experience playing around
with fire.

The machine I have in mind is not a production box; I'm mostly just curious whether it's possible to do this (and yes, I learned the MS betaware lessons about 15 years ago). My initial thought was that the Express apps would be more likely to run side by side with VS.02 (and VS.05 probably be less likely, plus I'm only really intested in the ASP.NET 2.0 bits).

I saw a post yesterday about ASP.NET 2.0 munging about with IIS, but that seemed to be fixed pretty quickly.

Has anyone tried it yet? There must be at least one brave soul willing to trash a box for the betterment of the ASP.NET-world!
