Long story, I'll spare the details. I have a machine with SQL 2016 Standard installed. I would also like on a short term basis to install SQL 2017 Developers on the same machine; without it "breaking" the 2016 version. Is this possible? Thanks!

There is no problem running different versions of SQL Server on the same machine but you could potentially see issues if you then want to uninstall 2017 once you have finished using it if it has updated any shared libraries.
