How to upgrade VS 2005 professional to VS 2005 Team suite?

Hi all.

VS 2005 versions are very confusing.
I got vs 2005 professional, install it and have worked on it for several new projects.

And I got VS 2005 team suite.

How to install VS2005 team suite on where vs2005 pro already is installed

I tried to install it with custome option and select only test tools. But it gave me an error while installing.

Do I have to totally uninstall vs2005 pro first

If I do it, it doesn't hurt previous projects being developed with vs2005 pro

You can install Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite on top of Visual Studio 2005 Professional. If you have a prerelease version of Pro, you'll need to use the uninstall utility to remove the prerelease bits (see the readme). If you're trying to install Team Suite on top of the released version of Pro and you're receiving an error, please post the actual error you're receiving.

Hi!

I had the same experience awhile back. I ended up doing a full install of Visual Studio Team Suite which seemed to go just fine. Strangely enough it left behind the ability to launch either professional or Team Suite but I left it at that.

I don't think removing VS 2005 professional completely before installation should present any problems. By default all project data is written to the VS 2005 folder in My Docs which is supposed to remain behind after an uninstall.

Sorry that I don't have a more definitive answer. I would first try a full install. If that fails backup your project data from My Documents (probably a good step regardless), uninstall Visual Studio 2005 Pro and install the Team Suite.
