I want to try out Blazor and it wants Visual Studio 2019 Preview. Now, I already have Visual Studio 2019 (Professional) on my machine. It is safe to install the Preview version side-by-side?

Tried to find any help on forums, but didn't find any advice.

Ok, I'll answer my question myself. Visual Studio 2019 Preview works fine side-by-side with released Visual Studio 2019. And I only got Blazor to install after I installed VS 2019 Preview.

Link to official Blazor Getting Started Documentation which specifically requires the Preview version (as of today)

  • You answered your own question but yes, I run both RTM and Preview side by side, no issues – Quango Jun 21 '19 at 04:55
  • It is the correct answer but without a link to an 'official' statement it is not of much use to this site. – H H Jun 21 '19 at 07:18
  • Perfectly safe, and documented by Microsoft here https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/faq/ – Stephen Kennedy Jun 22 '19 at 23:07
  • After some time I get error message "The Application is failed to sart because its side by side configuration is incorrect" while opening the visual studio 2019 preview. – Naga Feb 12 '21 at 01:39
