Co-existance with VS 6?

I'm currently using Visual Studio .Net. However, to work on a special
project, I need Visual Studio 6. Will it hurt anything if I install it?
Will my .Net still work with no glitches?

You may need to reinstall Visual Studio.NET again. If you had already had VS6 installed it would not be a problem. If I
remember correctly, installing VS6 AFTER VS.NET changed some dependencies and causes problems. But, otherwise, if you have VS6
installed then VS.NET, they both seem to work together fine.
I have VS.NET2002, 2003 & VS6 installed, and so far , everything works good. (the software that is, the programmer on the other

VS 2005 Betas also appear to coexist. The key is to load the oldest dev
environment first.
