The File > Save As command enables you to save an .ism project file in an earlier InstallShield version's format.

I've actually encountered issues where that didn't work very well. What I suggest is you set up parallel builds that pull the same source .ISM ( IS2008 format ) and run against two different compilers ( 2008/2009 ). Compare the resultant MSIs and regression test the functionality and continue to do your checkouts and checkins using IS2008. When you are ready to make the move, just start checking out in IS2009 and modify your build automation so that the IS2009 build is your production build.
