Debugging VID after .NET SDK

[brogan]

Are there any issues associated with debugging Visual InterDev projects after installing the .NET SDK? I am just starting on the TYVI21 book, but would also like to install the .NET SDK. I have seen reports on the MS newsgroups to the effect that installing the SDK can cause problems with the JIT. I gather just saving and merging the AeDebug registry key is not good enough (I discovered this key when I had JIT problems debugging between Delphi/VC++/DVFortran.)

I apologize for the vagueness of this question, but I know nothing about debugging VI apps (yet.)

I have a suspicion this might well become a Frequently Asked Question for readers of the book.

Since the instructions state that you need to install .NET on a virgin machine and the VS6 is older, I wouldn't personally attempt to install VS6 on the same machine as .NET for fear of its installation program tampering with the newer stuff.

For this reason, I have Visual Studio 6 (VC++ and VI) on one machine and .NET (Visual Studio .NET and C#) on another.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know for sure, but logically it appears dicey at best. However, I would definitely like to hear from anyone else that has attempted to do this.

I simply can't take a chance on testing this right now because if it doesn't work, I can't afford the "down time" in rebuilding my machine.
