What versions of Visual Studio can be installed concurrently?

Question

Are there any conflicts with having any combination of Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and/or 2008 installed? I noticed a related question here but wanted a more general answer.

Answer 1

6, 2000/2001 (I can't remember which is .net 1.0), 2003, 2005, 2008... of course within .NET you may have issues with getting the right solution with the right version. I haven't really seen any conflicts in particular.

Answer 2

Just make sure you only have RTM versions and not Beta or RC versions installed. You'll have no end of pain if you don't cleanly remove the beta or RC versions before installing the RTM versions.

Answer 3

I have all 3 installed and have had no adverse problems...knocking on wood
