    The two should be able to co-exist on the same system as long as you install them to different folders. Being on different partitions should be the same.

    I have visual studios 6.0 enterprise, visual studios 2003 architect, and visual studios 2005 team suite edition all on the same system, same partition, no issues?

    I have it on my computer and laptop (both on both). it works just fine. Maybe some of your folders are conflicting?

    Did you have an older version of VB.NET like 2005 beta? Did it specifically say VB 6?

    Thank you penagate but I already have them all but VB 5 and I dont think I will be needing it. Maybe other members will take you up on your generous offer.


    more then likely the issue occured because of installation to the same folder as vb 6 was installed to.
