I have previously installed Visual C++ 2008 Express, Visual C# Express and
Visual Basic 2008 Express, now I want to install Visual Studio 2008, do I
need to uninstall the previous programs befor?

AFAIK, yes you do. While multiple *versions* of Visual Studio install as
separate products, the same is not true of editions of the same version. In
any event, you're better off getting rid of the Express bits before
installing VS, making it as much of a "clean install" as possible.
