Hello,
I currently have visual studio.net 2003 installed. I would like to install visual basic 2005 express edition on the same laptop and I'm wondering if this will cause a problem
I need the express edition to get a jump start on a class that I need to create.
Does the latest beta version expire
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

We do actually test VB 2005 side by side with VS 2003. You should read the readme for known issues, but in general this does work.
If you encounter any problems in this scenario with setup or at run time, we would appreciate a bug report or a post.
Thanks for helping make the RTM product great by using the beta!
