I have currently been using Delphi 5. I finally got the company to upgrade to Delphi 2005 Architect. I have some projects that are using some components that don't load into 2005. Will loading Delphi 2005 replace Delphi 5 or load along side of it. I plan on getting the updated components eventually to be able to maintain the existing apps in 2005. In the meantime I have another project I'm about to start on and would like to start it in Delphi 2005 but I still need to be able to make changes to the existing apps with 5.
 
Hi,

yes, you can install D2005 in a separate dir, make sure you set the borland shared dir to a different one.
I think the only problem will be the BDE, but I'm not sure since I never used it...
