I recently had to go through the process of installing Visual Studio 2008 with a team getting ready to use Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server. Further, I have been tinkering with Silverlight 2 recently and this has even more tooling around it.

Based on this experience, I thought I would outline the installed components. You'll see that it takes awhile to get through all of this.

Keep in mind, this is the install for the client side. Not the server or the build machine.

1. Visual Studio Team System 2008 basic install.
   This can be Team Suite, Developer, Tester, whatever. See your MSDN subscription or DVD media for this.
2. Team Explorer 2008
3. Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server Power Tools
4. Visual Studio 2008 SP1
5. Expression Studio
   Hopefully you get this with your MSDN subscription, but if not you can get some love here.
6. Microsoft® Silverlight™ Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1
7. Microsoft Expression Blend™ 2 Service Pack 1
8. Deep Zoom Composer
9. The Silverlight Toolkit
10. ReSharper

Whew. Did I miss anything? The kitchen sink?
