    I think so yes, so long as during the installler you:
    1) Don't migrate your CF5 stuff when the installer asks if you want to.
    2) Don't let it automatically setup CFMX to work with IIS (you'll need to manually do that afterwards).

    Though just to be on the safe side I would recommend backing everything up first, and, if possible, taking the server offline for 30-60 minutes while doing the install. (Just in case.)

    Yes, I've done it before.
    You need to install CFMX to a different location (ie: if you have CF5 at C:\CFusion, then install MX to C:\CFusionMX)

    Then you use IIS to setup virtual directories for your sites, and use the VD settings to determine which version of CF the file is passed to.
    Can't remember precisely where the setting is, but if you poke around until you find the bit for handling CFM files, then adjust as appropriate.
