Hello,
I love VS 2008 due to its multi targeting feature. So i really want to
switch from 2005 to 2008 and then remove VS 2005 from my engine, but...

In VS 2005 I can see a lot of installed products and so I also can see a
list of belonging project templates. I installed all these products after
having installed VS 2005. Now after having added VS 2008 I am missing these
products in the IDE. I have no business intelligence projects. And what is
even worse: I am using a licensed version of Crystal Reports 2008 but VS
2008 seems to have an older version. So everytime I open a Report created
with Crystal 2008 and then reopen it in VS 2008 IDE I get a messagebox
saying, that this report has been created with a newer version and that I am
going to loose some information (functionality).

Is there any possibility to update VS 2008 profile?

Thanks for any hint.
Patrick
