I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise..
I have installed Visual Studio 2008 Team System and it has SQL Server 2005 expression edition.
Do I need to uninstall SQL Server 2005 before installing 2008 Enterprise?
I don't much db work on my machine. Just create tables, procedure etc. So, For this is there any easy installation of SQL Server 2008?

no need to uninstall sql server express 2005 or install sql server 2005 before...
if you want to keep sql server express 2005 database instances just install sql server 2008 with a normal installation and don't upgrade the sql server 2005 instance.
if you want only 2008 when installing you'll be shown all the installed instances on the computer and asked if want to upgrade any of them, just upgrade the sql server 2005 express instance. after that you can uninstall the sql server 2005 express from the computer.
