Does anybody know if in VS2005 and/or VS2008 it is possible to install Visual
Studio Team System (Development Edition in particular) over Visual Studio
Professional?

Or do you have to uninstall first?

Yes, you can just install over the top.

However, if you do, it will make installation of VS service packs take twice
as long, since the service pack installer will see both Pro and TS and will
patch both of them - even though they're sharing the same files.

Carl:

Thanks.

Would you advise uninstalling first then? Uninstalling these "big" programs
always makes me nervous because I don't trust the uninstaller to to a complete
job. I don't think I have ever uninstalled Visual Studio on any of my computers.

I'd just install TS over Pro.
