Steve already answered this basically. It is well possible to have multiple VS versions installed at the same time. Before compiling you just need to run the right environment setup batch file to prepare everything. I was just referring to *preview* versions of VS. If you use one of those, chances are that you'll have a hard time upgrading to the final version of VS. My recommendation is not to use preview versions on systems that you cannot easily revert to a state before the preview install. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 14 2015) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC Plone/Zope Database Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2015-01-09: Released eGenix pyOpenSSL 0.13.7 ... http://egenix.com/go68 2015-01-20: Python Meeting Duesseldorf ... http://egenix.com/go69 ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
