MS Project Pro 2002 and 2003 coexistance issues

[Ryan Miller]

Has anyone tried installing MS Project Pro 2003 on a
machine already running MS Project Pro 2002?

Our production environment is currently using the 2002
suite.

We began testing the 2003 suite yesterday installing
Server 2003 on it's own box and Pro 2003 on my desktop
machine.

The "nonenterprise" features seem to work fine, however,
when I try to access our production environment through MS
Proj Pro 2002, I get system errors stating it's a possible
memory problem, hardware issue, registry issue.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks for your help.

It is recommended against highly that you do not do this. They share
several dlls and so they will interfere with eachother. Best solution
is to uninstall both then reinstall the one you want to use. If you
need access to both think about a 2nd machine or using an emulater like
VirtualPC (now owned by MS by the way)
