I have installed VS2010 ultimate in my computer. Now I want to install VS2013 on this machine without affecting the VS2010 so that I can work on both project types. Let me know what steps are to be followed while installing VS2013
Different versions of Visual Studio can be installed on the same computer without any problems. Just run the VS2013 setup in your case. See MSDN documentation on side-by-side VS installations here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246609(v=vs.120).aspx

I installed VS2008 and VS2015 on my computer that is re-installed with Windows 10 recently. I sometimes have to target to .net framework 2.0/3.0/3.5 in C++/CLI, I had to install VS2008 and VS2010 - Yes, I forgot VS2010.
I know there's no problem about installing different versions of Visual Studio, but it's certain that VS2010 installer will mass up file extension (*.cpp, *.vcxproj, ...) with itself.
Is there any way to install VS2010 without this problem?
Targeting different CLRs in VS2015:
I have an issue that I am using Visual Studio 2005 on my system with Windows XP SP1 as an operating system. Now I want to install Visual Studio 2010 with SP3 without uninstalling VS2005.
My question is, will my project in VS2005 still work properly? Can I work in both versions without any conflicting issues?
This should be possible. According to the MSDN Documentation(Installing Visual Studio Versions Side-by-Side) you can install them side by side.
You can't however open a VS2010 project in VS2005. So you need to keep your work strictly separated between those versions if you want to be able to open your project in VS2005.
I have VS2005, 2008 and 2010 all running on the same Vista box with no conflicts. As long as you don't upgrade your 2005 projects (by choosing to open them in VS2010 and accepting the upgrade prompt) you'll be fine.
The big question here is: will VS2010 actually run on XP SP1?
I already have VS c# express installed. And now I want to install VS web express. Why is it trying to install a component that I already have installed (sp1 KB983509)? Is this normal?
From previous attempts, this does seem normal, although I don't think it actually does the full installation of the component. It shouldn't cause any problems; you definitely can have multiple packs of VS Express.
I have VS2010 Ultimate on a Win7 x32 machine up and running. I have installed VS2010 SP1 to this environment. Also have LightSwitch, Async CTP, etc installed.
Now, I find my self in a situation where I need to work on a VC++ project type. I ran the setup from the VS2010 DVD and chose to add features and selected VC++ and BAM!
I cant seem to get over this particular issue. I tried from App/Remove programs as well and tried the SP1 setup there but that's just for uninstalling VS2010 SP1. Anyone with similar experience?
Is Windows Phone 7 Development SDK available for other versions of Visual Studio 2010 than Express?
If I already have the Ultimate version do I still need to download VS2010 Express to use WP7 SDK?
When you install the Windows Phone 7 SDK it installs everything including "Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone" even if you have another non-express version of Visual Studio 2010 already installed.
If you have another version of VS2010 installed. the installer will NOT create any shortcuts for the express version. Nor will it set any file associations for it.
This has two effects:
The installer is simpler (It just gets everything and only needs logic around setting shortcuts) and so should be less buggy. - Most people have no issues with it. The few who do have problems have mostly fixed them with a repair of the install.
You can use both the Express and other version of VS2010 on the same machine. I find this particularly useful when looking at open source or demo projects which were created with the express version.
The WP7 environment will install into your existing instance of Visual Studio if you have one (and will install an Express edition if you don't)
Yes, you would need to download the full SDK. But nothing to worry since installing the SDK would automatically take care of installing the templates, and you should be able to work with your Ultimate edition with all the goodness :)
Microsoft could verify that the Visual Studio (not Express) is already installed on the machine BEFORE you download the Express version!
Still, the Express version does not interfere with your other version of Visual Studio.
