VB5/VB6 Coexistence.

[Mark Alexander Bertenshaw]

Hi -

I am wondering whether any of you have VB5 and VB6 coexisting on a serious
development machine, and if so, have you had any problems with this scenario.

Thanks,

I'm almost positive you can but VB5 must be installed first and when you install
6, you can choose some option to let the two coexist. However, not everything
works correctly so I don't think this is a good idea for a 'serious' dev machine.

I don't and I wouldn't. That is unless you're very careful about distributing your applications --
in other words don't create your install packages from a machine where both are installed.
