Running visual studio versions side by side

Has anyone had any luck running Visual Studio versions side by side? I’m going to try running VS 2003 and VS 2005 b2 on the same machine at home. It’s not a production machine so I’m not too worried about it’s stability.

    I’m running VS 2003 & VS 2005 B2 side by side. Seems to work OK. The only glitch I have noticed so far is Visual Sourcesafe 2005, in VS2003 sourcesafe 2005 pop up the login dialog several times when I open a solution thats under sourcecontrol.

    Cool, I’ll have to try that. If it works well enough at home I may try running them side by side at work too. We’re investigating what kind of effort it would take for us to port our .NET 1.1 app over to 2.0 and take advantage of some of the 2.0 features.

    I’m running both without issue. Maybe twice VS2005 has failed to launch and stays at the splash screen, which is fixed by reboot and may not at all be related to VS, but rather some other software. I did not install the sourcesafe components locally however, so i can’t tell you if the SS stuff plays nicely locally. I do connect to a remote team server though, also without issue
