VS 2005 CTP and SQL 2005 Beta Together

I swear I've seen it mentioned several times that you can run the December CTP of VS 2005 and Beta 2 of SQL 2005 together on the same machine.  Can anyone tell me if it is possible, and if so where I can find the correct procedure to do so?

Its not possible as they are using different versions of the framework and even you will succeed in some way installing it you wont be able to develop sql server store procedures using the december ctp.

Everything that I have heard or read states that you must run the build of VS from spring 2004 with SQL 2005. There is supposedly another beta coming through the pipe soon (March maybe?) that works either with the Dec VS 2005 CTP, or possibly a pair of new matched CTPs for both VS and SQL.

This is why Dec CTP doesn't support single-server install of Team Foundation Server.

Not possible. We tried it here in our office and we 3 had separate frameworks on 1 PC. 1 for VS 2003, 1 for VS 2005 and 1 for Yukon.

Out of curiosity, why don't you use VirtualPC or VMWare?

I may yet use VPC for some aspects, but I view it more as occasional testing instead of serious work due to performance.

This has been a real pane for presentations... I have not seen any good work arounds other than VPC or multiple machines

Why not try the CTP Feb versions of both products? It runs like a charm on 1 VPC.
