I am sure this queston is asked from time to time, but I have scrolled
through this newsgroup, and cannot see it asked or answered recently.
I am running a stable copy of Visual Studio 2003. I am planning to upgrade
to VS 2005. I don't need, or wish to keep, VS 2003 on my machine. I'd rather
not do a rebuild of my hard disk.
I assume that I ought to remove VS 2003 and reboot before instaling VS 2005.
Can someone pass along a few tips for a path to a smooth migration from VS
2003 to VS 2005? I am running Win XP Pro with MS Office 2003 and all service
packs up to date. Thanks in advance from a former Win XP MVP.

You have a couple of options. You can run both versions side by side or you can remove the previous
version first before installing the new version.

In any event, when you open the project in the new version it will be converted. Once this occurs
you're pretty much committed to the new version so I would recommend making a copy first just in
case.
