I have to install SP1 Redistributable when using MSVC2008 pro?
I just would like to know because the project Im trying to compile requires it and I'm not sure if I should install it. I couldn't find answer on this question anywhere.
Visual Studio can come with slipstreamed Service Packs, however you need to find this out, if your installation media says it's Visual Studio 2008 with SP1 then you have good luck, otherwise, once installed, go to Help->About Microsoft Visual Studio and there you will see if you already have the SP1 already installed.

My system is having VS 2015 and windows 7 Enterprise.
I have some solution file, which was created in vs 2008.
After opening in vs 2008, there are some upgraded log from vs 2015.
a lot of errors needs to be resolved to make build successed.
Is it ok to install visual studio 2008 over visual studio 2015 ?
this link Can I install two different versions of Visual Studio on the same computer? does not tell if it is ok to install lower version over higher version.
It's possible, but with a bit of risk that some features of the newer VS will break. I have no experience with these two combined, but in the past things got broken for me after installing vs2005 after vs2008 or vs2010. A re-install of the newer version would be needed if this happens.
Generally, it is ok. You can have many different visual studios installed on your machine.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Pro and then I wanted to install Windows Phone 8 SDK. But it installed Express Edition of VS 2012. Now if I delete VS 2013, what happens with my VS 2012? Can I delete it, because I don't have enough memory for it? Can you help me, please!
They are independent, you can uninstal one without influencing the other.
You can install this version of Visual Studio on a computer that already has an earlier version installed.
but
If you uninstall a version of Visual Studio on a computer that has more than one version installed, the file associations for Visual Studio are removed for all versions.

Trying to install the Visual Studio 2010 SDK but it aborts with an error saying I don't have Visual Studio 2010 installed. I of course have 2010 installed. I also have the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview installed. I suspect this might be the issue. Is this known? Is there a workaround (I couldn't find one). Running on Windows 7, 64 bit.
It turns out that there is an SDK and and SDK SP1. If you have VS 2010 SP1 installed (like I have) then only the VS 2010 SDK SP1 will install. Easy as that and nothing to do with VS 11 as I thought.
It's always recommended to install your oldest version of Visual Studio first and move on up to your newest. Uninstall 11 first, then install 2010, and then install 11. You might have better luck than you have so far.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
I am attempting to install Managment Studio Express 2008 on a Win7 system that already has Visual Studio 2008 installed. I have installed VS 2008 SP1, which results in the About box for Visual Studio giving a version of 9.0.30792.1 SP.
When I attempt the Management Studio installation I see a message that tells me that I must install SP1. However, this is already installed. After a fair bit of searching I came across the link below, where someone had commented with a command line option for the installation executable that forced it to skip the check. However, this simply pushed the error to later in the installation process.

This seems to be a perennial problem for Microsoft. I can't remember a time when I've painlessly installed both Management Studio and Visual Studio. I can't imagine that this is an unusual combination, after all!
Anyone had any success in solving this problem before I take on the day-long task of uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio and all its associated bits?
i'm going to install sql server 2008 on my computer,during preparing the installation there was an error like this:
a previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on this computer. Upgrade Microsoft visual studio 2008 to sp1 before installing SQL Server 2008.
So i should upgrade my visual studio to sp1, but i don't know how to do it.
Please help, and Thanks.
Download the installer for SP1 and run it.
It is on this page.
Easier Method
There is a registry trick to overcome this error
Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\9.0
rename 9.0 to 9.0old
then click “re run” ,it will solve the problem,but better to install
