I have VS2003 Enterprise Architect with latest MSDN library Oct 05. Can I
install VS2005 Pro and it's MSDN library and still have my VS2003 working as
before. (I need time to transition my projects).

Thanks.

Yes. They are separate products and VS 2005 will install to separate
directories by default.

Yes, you can. As Peter pointed out, they are seperate product. And actually, I have installed both of them in my machine and they all works fine for me.

BTW, when you open a vs2003 solution file and you prefer vs2003 to load it, you need right click the file and select vs2003 to start it up, otherwise vs2005 will be lauched
and ask you to update the solution file.
