If only releases earlier than Visual Studio 2005 are installed, then DevPartner Studio 8.2.1 installs. If only Visual Studio 2008 is installed, then DevPartner Studio 9.0 installs. If Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is installed, the DevPartner Studio installation displays a dialog box that allows you to select the release of DevPartner Studio to be installed.
