I'm just getting ready to begin developing in VS.Net and wondered what opinions people have on installing VS.Net on a VS6 machine. I still have VS6 projects and don't want to debug .Net issues in my VS6 environment. I am wondering how well the two play together in the same sandbox, or if I should install .Net on a second hard drive on the same machine?

Thanks!

I am running both on my Machine and I haven't had any issues. They seem to play nicely together.

Same here. I have VS 6, .NET 2002 and .2003 running nicely side by side.

From what I understand from Microsoft is that you can even install them in any order you want.
Since the two environments (VS 6 vs .NET) use different extensions for project files, you don't even have too much troubles having Windows to open the right environment.

Same...All 3 running fine.

Only problem I sometimes have is opening a VS.NET 2003 project in VS.NET 2002.

Thanks to all who replied. I still may end up installing VS.Net separately. I'm working with InterDev in VS6 and the debugger is such a temperamental monster in terms of permissions and DCOMCNFG settings. I'm seriously afraid of mucking something up!
