Installing MSDN Library question

Hi - does anyone know if it's possible to install 2 versions of MSDN library?
I recently installed MSDN 2005 Library for my VB.NET from my MSDN
subscription, and now I noticed I don't have any more help in my VB6.  I just
figured MSDN 2005 would have all the help for prior versions of VB.  Does
having the Help in VB6 require an older version of MSDN, and if so, can more
than one version be installed?

Thanks a lot for any help -

Dan

MSDN versions can live "side by side". The newest version of MSDN that's
usable from within VB6's IDE is the October 2001 release.

Thanks, Ken.

How do you install the second one to make sure it doesn't step on the first?
