.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / November 2005Can I use both C++ and C# Express versions of 2005 at the same time?
I have been using VS C++.NET 2005 Express as our company waits for the MSDN full version to arrive. It is a pretty amazing free tool! My question is I'd like to also do some VS C#.NET stuff too. So I'd like to download VS C#.NET 2005 Express while we are waiting as well. Problem is, although I've never tried, it says I have to uninstall all versions of 2005 before I can download C#.NET 2005 Express. So do I have to uninstall VS C++.NET 2005 Express to load VS C#.NET 2005 Express? It's is VERY CLEAR that uninstalling is a MUST (after all, isn't VS C++.NET 2005 Express a version of VS.NET 2005?). I'm pretty sure I can just download it and go, but thought I'd ask first... : ) [==P==] Specifically, it says: Before installing, you must uninstall any previous versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0. I'm also concerned as to whether I must uninstall .NET Framework 2.0, as it is likely the same one already installed with VS C++.NET 2005 Express. Wish there was an 'install multiple' option. As we are going to get the full version I sort or feel 'entitled' to both C++ and C# versions at once... : ) [==P==] >I have been using VS C++.NET 2005 Express as our company waits for the MSDN >full version to arrive.

The key word in that sentence is 'previous'. The betas of the Express Editions have been available for a while. The safe thing to do is to remove the beta before installing the final product. Regards, Will You can install multiple express versions on the same machine and run them all in parallel.

No need to wait for the December update. Actually, I was not aware of this! Thanks! : ) [==P==] >>I have been using VS C++.NET 2005 Express as our company waits for the >>MSDN full version to arrive.

No need to wait for the December update. That's how I got it and Visual SourceSafe 2005 as well. I think Visual SourceSafe is a bit nicer now.
