ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I have a serious problem in an application that is built with VS6. It's an access violation, and I cannot find the cause of it! (The access violation does not happen if I run it under the debugger).I want to try if perhaps Visual Studio 2005 would give me an answer to my problem. Question: does anybody know if I can install VS2005 beside VS6, and if they can both coexist?Thanks for any hints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Did a full system backup, then installed VS 2005. Great - I can use both VS6 and 2005. (But VS 2005 converted my applications to 2005 format, so I will need to restore the apps after uninstalling it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korgg Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Visual Studio 2005 makes a backup of the old .vcproj project file named .vcproj.backup . Just rename this one and you have the old project again. And you can use them both with no problem (none found by now, by me). They install in different directories anyway. My problem was with 2003 and 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Thanks for the information - didn't know that. But I made a full backup before I installed (and converted some of the apps). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
