It's not supposed to do anything, really. It's a beta. Eventually the RTM
version will co-exist peacefully with previous versions, but right now I
wouldn't try to test the theory. Using VPC or something like that is a much
better idea.

I found that the two Frameworks work fine side by side - but even the VB.Net
2005 Express edition hosed my VS.Net installation - had to delete the newer
and repair my VS.Net installation

It is a beta. Yes, it is "supposed" to run side-by-side. But, that is an
ideal for the release, which is next year.

I would NEVER install a beta on a machine that has your work without setting
up Virtual PC, or similar.

I have installed the VS.NET 2005 Beta 1 and now VS.NET 2003 projects in
VS.NET 2003 do not compile. Is the Beta supposed to run side by side with
the older version? Or is it supposed to make older versions stop working any
more?

IMO Installing 2005 on a machine that you use every day is not a good idea
because it is full of bugs. I strongly recommend installing it on a
sacrificial machine or in a virtual PC.

Its *supposed* to work in a side-by-side install though and this link migh
give you some more insight.
