Can I install two different versions of Visual Stu

问题:

Can I install Visual Studio 2005 and 2010 on the same computer? Would it cause any problems?

回答1:

Yes, you can do so. I have VS 2005, 2008 and 2010 installed on single machine and they all work independently.

However, before doing so, keep in mind that projects made in lower versions can be opened in higher version only once because after that it will be upgraded to higher version but the opposite is not possible, i.e. backward compatibility is possible but forward compatibility is not possible.

Yes, you can do that, no problem. I personally have VB Express 2005, VS 2008, VB Express 2010, C# Express 2010, Visual Web Developer Express 2010, and VS 2011 all going at the same time.

Yes, I have Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 on the same machine, with no problems. 2005 would be the same; they are isolated from each other.
