I have custom application developed using VS2013, C Sharp and SharePoint in the Windows server 2012 R2(development server).
While developing I need to debug this custom application. So in addition to VS2013 if I am installing VS2017 or VS 2019 in development server for upcoming development work and debugging features then is it recommendable or there will be more challenges I
need to face.

VS 2013 and VS 2017 co-exist
Nov 12, 2019 03:13 PM|gkrishnat|LINK
Hi Team,
I wanted to install VS 2017 in one server and VS 2019 in another server where VS 2013 already exists.
Can VS 2013 and VS 2017 Co-exist in the same server?
Can VS 2013 and VS 2019 Co-exist in the same server?
Thanks and Regards,
Gopi Thakur

Yes, but it is not recommended to install VS on your server. Are you receiving an error?

Hi gkrishnat,
Yes, VS 201x can Co-exist, but please pay attention to their compatibility.
You can refer to this link about version compatibility: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio-versions-side-by-side?view=vs-2015&redirectedfrom=MSDN
Best regards,
Sam

Hi gkrishnat,
My suggestion is that when developing a project, you'd better make only one version of vs. Because this will not encounter compatibility issues.
If you want to migration your project to a new version vs, you can refer to this link: Project migration and upgrade reference for Visual Studio
