I tried to install Visual Studio Professional 6 on a computer with Windows Xp
+ SP2 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 (7.0) installed. I receive an error telling
something about C:\Windows\System32\autoexec.nt not being a valid windows
file with options to close or ignore. After that no matter the option chosed
I receive an error telling me that setup couldn't locate Acme setup.
What sould I do? Can't VS 6 be installed on a computer with VS .NET installed?

Yes VS6 can be installed on a computer with VS .NET installed. You've
probably got this issue:
