On my laptop with WinXP Home SP2, I have TS2000i and TS8.1 build2706.
I've had no problems with installing TS8.1 with TS2000i already
installed. However there was a problem with the InstallShield version
and I had to go to the InstallShield web site and upgrade the
ISScript engine to the latest version before I could install 8.1
