Installing SSRS 2000 on same machine as SSRS 2005

[bustercoder]

Hello,

I have SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services running on Visual Studio 2005. I also have Visual Studio 2003 running, but I need to install SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services to work on older reports in Visual Studio 2003. So, is there a "best" way to do this? As I understand, SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services ships with the Standard, Developer and Enterprise edition of SQL Server. So then all I would need to do is install the latest SQL Server 2000 and I should have reporting services and be able to open and work on the reports in my Visual Stuido 2003? Hopefully this would not impact the existing installation of SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

If anyone could give me some advice or point me to a helpful link I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Buster

I don't think you can install them side by side. SSRS doesn't support names instances, so I'm thinking that you will need seperate boxes for each. The best method will be to setup a test machine and try it out.
