I need to upgrade from VS.NET 2003 Enterprise Developer to VS.NET 2003
Enterprise Architect.

Should I uninstall the Ent Dev version first? Or will installing the
EA version upgrade my existing ED version?

Thanks!

Hi Travis,

You more than likely could just install the Microsoft Visual Studio .Net
2003 Enterprise Architect over the top of Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003
Enterprise Developer. However, this is not a tested scenario, so I would
uninstall the Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003 Enterprise Developer and
then install the Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003 Enterprise Architect
version.

Thank you for the advice Tim!

Here is our plan right now. I have Virtual PC installed and we are
going to create an XP Pro virtual machine, install ED version and then
try to install EA version over the top. I will post the results early
next week. Thanks again Tim for the reply.

Ok. Installed Visual Studio Enterprise Developer on the virtual PC
and then installed the Enterprise Architect version over the top. It
essentially replaced the ED version. ED seems to still be there in a
seperate directory though. I have not tried to run the ED version.
Installed Visio EA. No problems on the virtual PC.

Installed on my main development machine. Everything worked great.
Kept all of my settings - colors, font etc. Even the spellchecker for
vs.net; http://www.devx.com/vb2themax/CodeDownload/19810 if you are
interested.

One thing that was different fromthe Virtual PC. I had Visio 2003 Pro
installed and after installing Visio EA I have seen a .dll version
error message (I am unable to reproduce it otherwise I would post it
here) and sometimes when I run Visio 2003 Pro it runs the
configuration/just installed script.

Neither of these issues have effected functionality (yet).

Hope this helps someone in the future.
