Hello,

I have a question that is tangential to a previous thread about installing the VS.net 2003 upgrade on a PC with VS.net 2002 already installed. My laptop has a 12 GB HD with about 9GB already used. I am running Windows XP Pro OS. I installed the 2003 upgrade, just barely made it (didn't install VC++.NET and only installed minimal MSDN Help). Can I safely go to "Add/Remove Programs..." and uninstall all the VS.net 2002 files from my laptop (which are located in a different directory)?

I am hoping the upgrade installation has no dependencies on the earlier version. I don't have any production apps developed in VS.net 2002 yet so I don't have to keep the older version for legacy app support. I also still have a full install of Visual Studio 6 on there which takes up a lot of space, may want to take that off at some point, but still need VB 6 every now and then.

BTW, installing the VS.net 2003 upgrade told me to remove the dotNET Framework v1.1 that I had only just installed a month ago in favor of the one found on the upgrade install disks. Also was told to remove the SDKs for ASP.net and Visual J#.net that I had put on there only recently. Whole process took several hours. Lotsa fun.

Thanks for any helpful comments,

Mark

learn VC# & the dotNET framework! )
