My host is W7 Pro x64. I had VB 5.2.8 with Windows OS's from W95 to W10 installed. I wanted to install another VB on the computer for Linux distros and wanted to install VB 6 for Linux. But when I tried to install VB6 all it did was update VB 5.
My question is, is it possible to install two different versions of VB on the same computer. One for Windows, the other for Linux. Thanks.

Re: Installation of VB
You seem a bit confused. The Linux version of VirtualBox will only run on a host machine running a Linux OS. You can run a Linux OS in a vm on a machine running Windows and the Windows version of VirtualBox.

Thanks for the reply, but now I am really confusedBillG wrote:You seem a bit confused. The Linux version of VirtualBox will only run on a host machine running a Linux OS. You can run a Linux OS in a vm on a machine running Windows and the Windows version of VirtualBox.
. What I asked was if two versions of VB could be installed on the same computer. One version for Windows OS's and the other for Linux Distros. Again, I have Winows 7 Pro x64 as the host on my computer. I want to know if I can install two VB's on this Windows computer and run Windows OS's in one and Linux Distros in the other. Thanks again.
