[Scilab-Dev] Re: [svn] Migrating To Visual Studio 2008 on Windows

[Allan CORNET]

Hi,

I only propose a way to do.

By pratical experience with Visual studio 2003 and 2005 , I think that it is
better to remove previous versions of Visual studio.

But you can try if you have time to spend ...

:)

Why that?

says (question #16):

"Will the Visual Studio Express Editions install side-by-side with the 
versions of Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions?
Yes, side-by-side compatibility with other versions of Visual Studio 
2005 including Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions and Visual Studio 
2008."

Do you have any different practical experience?

Btw, that was already the case with VS2005 express.
