I think what you're asking is this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3087567/can-i-install-visual-studio-2010-and-2008-together – crb Apr 08 '13 at 21:13

VS2012 & VS2008 will run along side each other; You'll just get two VS folders in your applications folder (and a VS2012 Projects folder added to My Documents).
The only thing you need to be careful with is opening the project up in VS2012 (as it will want to up-convert it). but there is an option to make a backup usually (or you can do so yourself before trying it).
