Vb6, Vb.net, Visual Basic 2005

I already have VB6 (SP6) and VB.NET 2003 installed on a computer. Does anyone know if I will have a problem if I install VB 2005 also or will I have to uninstall the others. I have a lot of apps done in VB6 and want to make sure that I will have no conflict with DLL's or OCX's being updated.

One more question, I have not found any info yet on exactly the difference between VB.NET and VB 2005. They are both based on the NET framework. Is VB 2005 replacing VB.NET?

VB 2005, is in fact VB.NET 2005, it use the version 2.0 of the Framework.
The Framework 2.0 have a couple of new namespace. such as FTP, c232 (Serial comunication).

At Home i have vb6 installed VB.NET 2003 et VB.NET 2005, and there all work correctly.

VB 2005 has quite a few new features - see the ms blurb:

Great topic !!! :)

There is a few things to watch out for when using previous versions of the framework with 2.0.
