Already have VB.NET installed, can I put VB6 on...
I thought I read somewhere that would cripple VB.NET?????
 
They can co-exist without any problems. I have both on my machine, although I loaded VB 6 first.

I remember reading somewhere, maybe in this forum, that it is recommended that you install VB6 first then VB .Net. But you can install both. I have done it successfully.

On my recently rebuilt machine I installed .NET (both versions) on it and then VB6. Don't have any problems.
 
zemp -
I think that was from the .NET beta -- the production VS.NET and VB6 can be installed in either order.

chiph - quite possible. It's good to know that the order of installation does not matter.
