Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to run the VS2003 IDE side by side with
VS2005 IDE?

Thanks

Yes, they should work together. However, be sure to have plenty of memory installed in your system. It appears from posts in
other groups that VS2005 is a memory hog and you will need all you can get to get
reasonable preformance out of it with large projects.

Yes, they can coexist. They use different .NET Framework versions, different
folders, different ProgIDs, etc.

They are isolated, overall, so I run them both on a single machine on all of
my computers (work and home).
