Just finished doing all the installs, and confirming everything works. The side by side install was easy, painless, and didn't break any 1.1 apps in my smokescreen testing. If your interested, I took notes here. Nothing of interest really, more rambling with myself. I did submit a bug for the doubleclick issue. I was expecting at least some pain, but didn't really feel any. Based on this post by Rob Caron, and reading the suggested doc I will have to repair vs.net 2003 when I uninstall beta2. No biggie, and in a sick way I'd rather see it remove more then it should then not enough :)

I was a bit upset with the ctp install. Although just as smooth, be warned that doing an upgrade will implicitly uninstall your sql 2000 tools along with the database itself, and not bring import any of your server groups. I would even have been happy with a warning about losing the groups, although I should have assumed I'd lose the tools. Other then that, the install seems fine, and I have been able to hook the new tools up to a couple 2k databases here. I guess trial by fire with the sql tools.
