I can't offer you a reason for your colleague's issues, but I can assure you that SQL Server 2000, Visual Studio .NET and the .NET framework are compatible. I've installed SQL Server 2000 on several machines running Windows XP Professional and Visual Studio .NET. To date I have encountered zero problems.

Hello, A colleague of mine recently installed SQL Server 2000 (client software only?) on a machine already loaded with .NET Framework and VS.NET. He encountered some pretty severe problems afterwards--not sure of all the details. My question is: is it still considered best practice to uninstall VS.NET and .NET Framework before installing SQL Server 2000? Thanks, R.L.
