No, the VS installer should have installed everything you need. Unless
of course for a particular project you need some third party libraries
or new Microsoft libraries that are only available as separate
downloads. But if you're not aware that you need them, don't install
them.
 
Why do you need both installed? You can compile 2.0 projects in VS 2008.
As 2008 updates the 2.0 compilers, I am not sure having both helps you.

Hi,
I installed VS 2008 for a taste of new version of VS.
And mainly I will develope using VS 2005 for my work. If I develope and
compile under VS 2008, does that application will run on PC which have only
..NET 2.0 installed?

You can select the target framework version for VS2008 .NET projects. By
default, it's set to 3.5, but you can go to project properties, and change
it to 2.0 (or just pick 2.0 in the New Project dialog window when you're
creating the project).
