How do I downgrade from SQL 2008 Std to 2005 Std?

    Hi everyone!

    I currently have the SQL Server 2008 Std installation cd (1 processor license) and since our ERP software supports only SQL Server 2005 Std I was told I could do a downgrade installation. However I am not quite clear on this. How does one do a downgrade installation? Would I be prompted during the installation process to choose SQL Server 2005 Std?

    Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
