VS2008 Upgrade Installation

[Fred Chateau]

I currently have VS2008 Professional SP-1 installed on my development
machine, and would like to upgrade to VS2008 Team Suite. I don't want two
editions of Visual Studio on the machine. Should I uninstall VS2008
Professional before installing VS2008 Team Suite, or can I simply install
Team Suite over Professional? (I'm assuming I need to uninstall SP-1 first.)

I don't think you can install multiple editions of the same version, even if
you wanted to.

My somewhat conservative approach would be to completely remove
Professional, then install Team Suite, then SP1.

My thinking is that if I'm going to depend on VS for my work, I want to
avoid any possible installation issues. So, the extra time spent once to get
it right is well worth it.
