Can I install multiple add-ons for the same version of Visual Studio Side by Side?

I would like to know if I can install both Visual Studio 2008 Pro and Visual Studio 2008 on the same computer. I tried installing pro (trial version available on MSDN) after express delivery, and it seems like they need to be installed in the same directory. Is it specific for express edition?

The reason I ask for this is to support the automatic detection of VS compilers on a given machine for the scons tool, and I'm not very familiar with non-express versions of VS. IOW, I don’t want to run them side by side, I only need to know if I should handle side by side in my detection scheme.

I would not recommend installing multiple releases of the same version side by side. I can imagine that he is playing havoc with the registry. If you just need to have all the different versions available for testing, I would use virtual machines.

However, you can install multiple releases (for example, 2003, 2005, and 2008) side by side.

I know that I installed the express version and the professional version on the same computer.

You can also use Microsoft Virtual PC and install other versions on virtual machines.

Visual Studio Express Editions , Visual Studios.

If you need to close them, I agree with the idea of ​​a virtual machine.
