CMW,

As Tibor said, it *should* work (it does for me), however if other
people are using the dev server, I would put it into a virtual machine
using Microsoft Virtual PC or VMWare (assuming you have the server
resources to comfortably run a VM).

If the server is not up to using a VM, I would put it on its own sandbox.
