I have installed VS2002 on my Windows 2000 Server machine. I am trying to install VS2003 on the machine as well, but I want to install VS2003 to a different directory than where VS2002 is installed. When I insert the VS2003 cd, and click on "Visual Studio .Net" to install VS2003, it automatically jumps the the screens that shows the following 3 options:

"Add or Remove Features"
"Repair/Reinstall"
"Uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio .Net Professional 2003"

It seems that these options will only let me "upgrade" to VS2003, but not have a separate install of VS2002 and VS2003. Can anybody tell me if I am doing something wrong, and how i can get two independent installs (by independent I mean I want the products in different locations) for VS2002 and VS2003. Thanks

Hi Jesse,

Can you just try to run the setup.exe directly from the CD? It is supposed
that we can have 2 version VS installed at the same machine.

Thanks.
