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?

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 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?
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.
I am having trouble getting x64 compilation to work on Windows 7 RTM (64-bit) with Visual Studio 2008 Professional (both with and without SP1). I have not installed the Windows 7 SDK, as Microsoft suggests might be the issue. The problem is that there are no x64/64-bit choices in the Configuration Manager of Visual Studio.
I do not have the "Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 2008 Standard Edition" suggested in the link above installed on my computer. Any ideas what might fix this?
I have checked that I have the x64 compiler and tools installed with Visual Studio.
Solution found: Uninstall VS completely and reinstall. Issue resolved after SP1 installed (again). Very strange.
Are you using VS 2008 Express Edition?
You can add the x64 targets to the build configuration manually by downloading the Windows SDK (which include all the x64 compilers/linkers/libs/headers/... ) and following the instructions in this link:

EDIT
Did you make sure to include the 64 bit toolset as part of the Visual Studio install? This toolset is an optional component that can be disabled during the initial install process. I believe you can add it back in by going through a Visual Studio repair process.
Original Answer
Are you using a clean windows 7 RTM install or did you upgrade from a previous version? There is at least one issue being reported by Visual Studio customers who upgraded an earlier build of Windows 7 to RTM.

I had Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 installed on my machine , unfartunately i have to install VS.NET 2003 on it to work on an old project. However after the installation now my VS2008 projects are not compiling as they are unable to resolve the .NET core namespaces. I trying reinstalling .NET 3.5 and VS2008 but it still giving me the same errors while building the solution.
anybody had such experience and any tip to solve it?
strangelly VS 2005 is working fine and it means its working fine with .NET 2.0 deployments however its causing issue with ASP.NET MVC project in VS 2008 which is certainly using .NET 3.5 and yes i have given a try to reinstallation as well
rifferte is correct in that it's safest to install in the other they are released.
Probably the best thing to do at this point is to repair your Visual Studio 2008 installation. You can do this through the Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs menu. This should fix the issues you are seeing.
I think you should try the advice here:

Basically - you actually have to reinstall the framework outside of VS. That being said - the best advice is to always install VS editions in the order they were released.
