STEFANO DEMILIANI

I'm not an expert on it, but i've tinkered a little with a machine that has both.

the only issue i had is that debugging on VS2003 didn't work anymore. there might be an easy fix for it, but i couldn't be bothered finding out

i use both 2003 and 2005 just fine. there was one hiccup where 2003's ENVDTE.DLL got hosed, but I'm not sure if the 2005 installation caused it.

A "Repair" operation fixed it.

i haven't had any problems... yet. i've had them running beside one another for a while now and no problems. good luck!

i have installed them..found no issues till now..

Thanks for the feedback guys... I think I'll try the installation on the same machine soon.

Stefano,

i have both running on the same machine for some time now. i only noticed one problem which has todo with online help. each time i press f1 inside of the 2003 ide, help opens a dialog 'no installing help' (twice) which must be cancelled in order for the helpsystem to show help. i haven't found a workaround for this.

Installing the Visual Studio 2005 Beta would configure IIS to use the v2.0
.NET Framework, it would cause that Visual Studio.NET 2003 cannot debug
against the new version.

You have to configure IIS using the v1.1 NET Framework again:

Open a command prompt and navigated to the 2.0 .NET Framework folder:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.*

Then run the following command to remove the 2.0 mappings from IIS:
ASPNET_RegIIS.exe -u

After this we navigated to the 1.1 .NET Framework folder:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

Run the following command to configure IIS to use the 1.1 .NET Framework
ASPNET_RegIIS –i

Do the reverse to switch back to using Visual Studio 2005

Thanks a lot Gary, really a interestint tip.

i want to buy visual studio 2003
how can i get it , the academic version and i will like to know how to send the money to you .

To buy Visual Studio 2003 you've to contact Microsoft in your country... they can give you the right direction to buy it.

I installed the 2.0 version of the Framework on my development box and found that the debugger no longer worked. I did some research and found that by installing the new version, every application I had in IIS 5.0 had been configured to employ the newest version of the Framework. It also installed a new tab, "ASP.NET" in the Properties dialog for IIS where you could configure which version of the Framework to use for every application. When I tried to set the version to 1.1 however, the required registry change did not take place, because the application in question still would not debug, and when I looked at the Properties section again, the version was still set to version 2.0. I did a little more research and found a neat little GUI app that will make the required changes for you. I forgot the URL, but the name of the app is "ASP.NET Version Switcher". It should do the trick.

Hello there,

I have a question, I use VS 2003 and I want to use VS 2005 at same time on same machine, I read this forum but there is no clear answer to this question!
Can someone answer this question?

thanks

Peyman, yes you can install Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 on the same machine. .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 can live together.

Is it possible to compile a .Net 1.0 or .Net 1.1 application under Visual Studio 2005? If so... how?

Thx

Joe, is it possible if you use this new plugin released by Microsoft (on beta stage) called MsBee.

Hi guys, I need to run Visual Studio 2005, VS 2003, and VS 6.0 on the same machine! Are there any issues with doing this? None of the software I am running is Beta or any pre-release version.

Thanks,
Herman

No, no problem... the environments can live together.

Hi.

I had Visual Studio 2003 installed. I installed Visual Studio 2005 (non Upgrade) on the same computer. Soon there after I downloaded and installed IE 7. IE 7 and VS 2005 seem to work fine. VS 2003 will no longer allow me to debug apps. I have tried unregistering framework 2.0 in IIS and re-registering framework 1.1 in IIS. The ASP.Net tab no longer apperas in IIS to select the version, so I believe it worked. However, I still cannot debug VS 2003 apps. I get the error message saying I must be a member of the debug users group. I verified I am in the debug users and vs developers group. HELP!!!!!!! I have run mulitple apps from this computer in VS 2003. I am not sure what happened!

Rog, I think that the post of Gary Parini on this list could be helpful for you.

Hi,

I have some users that have Visual Studio 2003 and we have purchased for them Visual Studio 2005 upgrade. I have read in numerous places that installing 2005 will not replace 2003. My big question is: Can a user who has 2003 and an UPGRADE version of 2005 LEGALLY have them both installed on the same machine?

Please help. I am not finding anything about this on the web.

Thanks,
Vance

I don't know how the upgrade version works (if it will replace the VS2003 instance or not), but you must have a valid VS2003 license in order to have the VS2005 Upgrade, so legally you can do that.

I am currently having visual studio 2005 in my machine. I want to install visual web developer 2005 or visual studio.net 2005 in the same machine. Will there be any problems. Also I have SQL Server 2005 standard edition installed in the same machine. As part of SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2.0 framework is installed in this machine. I got this information from the IIS properties.

As this machine is my development environment, I want to make sure before I install visual studio.net 2005 in this machine.

This is for my academic interest only. Can I download and use the copy from the Microsoft web site?

Thanks in advance.
Sri

You can install visual web developer without problems.

Can i install visual studio 2003 after i've visual studio 2005 installed and working perfectly fine? Will both work fine then?

Yes, it works...

I currently have a license for Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

Can I also install and use 2003 on the same machine using the same license. If so, could you point me to a document proving so (so i can show my IT departement).

Interesting post! Thank you for all your answers!
