Supporting both IS2009 & IS2010 on same build machine?
Probably a silly question, but not able to find the answer so I'm hoping you smart people can help me out.
The Setup:
I have a dedicated Software Build machine that is used to build several versions of our application.
I use some C#.net methods (which reference IS dlls, which of course are tied to a specific release of IS). These methods dynamically update by ISM project files and are a crucial part of the packaging process.
What I need to know:
Can IS2009 and IS2010 be installed side by side and work correctly?
Basically can by C# app that references the IS dlls from IS2009 and build a IS2009 MSI package and have a "newer" version of the C# app that reference the "newer" IS dlls from IS2010 and build a IS 2010 MSI package?
Hope that all makes sense...

The legacy version (last year's release) was built and is still patched using IS2009 Premier.
The new release will use IS2010 Premier.

I think I've answered my own question. Everything seem to play very nicely with each other. Once C# project reference the ISWiAuto16.dll and the older one ISWiAuto15.dll w/o issue and works great.:)
