sql server (microsoft) : BOL 2000 side by side with BOL 2005?

Hello,

Is it possible to have Books Online 2000 coexist with Books Online
2005 on the same machine? I currently have BOL 2000 on my machine and
when I try to install BOL 2005 side by side with it, it detects the
older version and insists on 'upgrading' me. If I decline the
'upgrade', the installation cancels. Is there a way around this?
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible. I've done it on several machines with XP.
Mind you, I didn't have to do anything special either. Both BOLs are
available to all users.

Perhaps you could install one BOL under one user and the other under
another (or for all users).

I'm not much help, sorry.
