VS 2005 Pro & Express on same box?

[Shawn B.]

Can C# Express be installed side-by-side with VS 2005 Pro (Developer
Edition)? Or do they require installation on seperate machines? I'm trying
to install XNA but it requires C# Express which I don't have because I use
pro.


Thanks,
Shawn

Yes, they can run side-by-side. I had to do the same thing. Just go
out and get a copy of C# Express and you should be good.

Yep, they can.
Doesn't this mentioned on the readme/XNA page?

The FAQ is confusing. It reads: Can Visual C# be installed side-by-side
with other versions of Visual Studio? that is too ambiguous for me. Visual
Studio 2005 can side-by-side with other versions of Visual Studio (1.0, 1.1,
and VS 6).

It needs to specifically indicate that Visual Something Express can co-op
with Visual Studio 2005 NotExpress in order to be perfectly clear.


Thanks,
