VC 6/7/8 can be installed on the same box (VC 6 does not install on Windows
Vista though).

My XP box has all three and I can build PHP with any of them by setting
the correct environment variables before calling the build scripts.

Hello Frank,

  same here, i even have both 7.0 and 7.1 installed. Small hint about that,
one can set the registry to have the 6 project/solution files be opened with
6 and the others by the original tool (install 6 last or 6 first and then
edit registry).

best regards
