Installing Visual Studio 2008 having a VS2005 installed

Question

Hi,

I have Visual Studio 2005 installed, and need to install 2008 to work side-by-side with 2005. Is this safe to install them like this? Are there any steps or precautions that should be taken? Any experiences you'd like to share will also be welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Rick

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your post.

I have both Visual Studio 2005 Pro Edition and Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite Edition on my machine. They can work side by side. You can directly install Visual Studio 2008 with Visual Studio 2005. If you have any issue during the installation, you can post your issue on this forum. I'm willing to help you on that.

Hope this helps! If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Yichun Chen
