VS2005 on same server as VS2003
Currently, we're using production code with VS2003.
We've received the software for VS2005, and it's on the development server where the existing VS2003 install is, but not installed yet.
Can we run both instances of VS on the same server?
I'm assuming you can, but wanted to know if there were any issues I needed to be aware of before hand.
Thanks!

You can run VS2003 and VS2005 side-by-side on the same machine. Visual Studio, however, is usually run on developers' workstations, not on servers.

thanks Phil!
Our personal machines can't have IIS installed, so with VS2003, we had to use a dedicated development server. So, installing VS2005 on that same server shouldn't be a problem...right?

When you install .NET 2.0 on a Web server, all ASP.NET apps on that server are automatically configured to use 2.0. You may need to manually configure 1.x applications to use the correct version of the Framework. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/1kdfe21k.aspx for more information.

Ah...thanks Phil! It's almost done with the install, and I'm assuming it'll require a reboot....then the 2.0 will be the defaul. I'll go into IIS and take a peak at the 1.1 apps.
Thanks for that tip!
