Installing SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 clients on XP

    I plan to install the 2005 client on a desktop that already has the 2000 version.   I'll put the 2005 in a new partition.  Are they any other issues or gotchas?

     

    Thanks.

    it should install side by side, or you can just leave people with the 2005 version since it's backwards compatible

    Currently have 2000 and 2005 client tools installed on XP SP2 on the same partition with no issues.
