The right way from VS2005 to VS2008?I now have the ISO image of VS2008 on my (external drive) :-) Now I am thinking of the right way to go from VS2005 to VS2008. Currently I have VS2005 prof german installed. For a parallel installation I don't have enough room on my system. Also at the moment only the english version of VS2008 is available and later on I want to switch over to the german version as soon that is available. What would be the best way to handle my needs? A) make room on the harddrive for a parallel installation? B) Uninstall VS2005 (what and in wich order do I have to uninstall?) ? C) Wait till the german version is available and then B ? D) ??? Any hints, suggestions and links to this subject are very welcome! Regards Rainer Queck

Jon Hi Jon,
thanks for your comment which leaves me with two more questions: Option C includes option B. Is there a HowTo for switching to VS2008 by uninstalling VS2005 available some where? When (approximately) will VS2008 german be available?

That way, you can begin using it without having to uninstall your 2005 installation. Plus, you wouldn't have to wait for the german version to begin using it. Just a thought. Chris Hi Chris,

I actually have a VM runing with VS2008. But... for the project I am currently working on the VM is too slow :-( Regards Rainer "Rainer Queck" <Rainer@noemail.noemail> wrote in message Likely the VM isn't the issue.news:OFhlBqpMIHA.2376@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi Chris, > >> Since you have an external drive, have you considered using Virtual PC >> and installing VS2008 on that?
