A couple of days ago, I installed Visual Studio Express for C#; yesterday I installed Visual Studio Ultimate. Since I will no longer use the former, is it safe to uninstall it?
I uninstalled Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web right after having installed Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and it still works perfectly. Also tried after a reboot, just to be sure.

My system is having VS 2015 and windows 7 Enterprise.
I have some solution file, which was created in vs 2008.
After opening in vs 2008, there are some upgraded log from vs 2015.
a lot of errors needs to be resolved to make build successed.
Is it ok to install visual studio 2008 over visual studio 2015 ?
this link Can I install two different versions of Visual Studio on the same computer? does not tell if it is ok to install lower version over higher version.
It's possible, but with a bit of risk that some features of the newer VS will break. I have no experience with these two combined, but in the past things got broken for me after installing vs2005 after vs2008 or vs2010. A re-install of the newer version would be needed if this happens.
Generally, it is ok. You can have many different visual studios installed on your machine.
I have a Windows 8.1 computer with Visual Studio Community 2015 installed and no other version of Visual Studio. I want to install Visual Studio Community 2013 because this is required to use C++ with Unreal Engine 4. But I get
this error message when I try to install.
So I restarted my computer, and the same error message still shows up. I have tried installing from an executable from the Visual Studio webpage, and from a button in Unreal Engine 4 that opens the Visual Studio 2013 installer. What could be the problem? Thanks.
From memory, you're supposed to be able to install multiple versions of visual studio, provided you install them chronologically.
Make a backup.
Then try uninstalling VS 2015. Then installing VS 2013, then re-installing VS 2015.
Better yet, do this in a virtual machine.
- Additionally; A virtual machine will allow you to install VS 2013 in isolation, so that you won't need to uninstall VS 2015.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Pro and then I wanted to install Windows Phone 8 SDK. But it installed Express Edition of VS 2012. Now if I delete VS 2013, what happens with my VS 2012? Can I delete it, because I don't have enough memory for it? Can you help me, please!
They are independent, you can uninstal one without influencing the other.
You can install this version of Visual Studio on a computer that already has an earlier version installed.
but
If you uninstall a version of Visual Studio on a computer that has more than one version installed, the file associations for Visual Studio are removed for all versions.

Trying to install the Visual Studio 2010 SDK but it aborts with an error saying I don't have Visual Studio 2010 installed. I of course have 2010 installed. I also have the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview installed. I suspect this might be the issue. Is this known? Is there a workaround (I couldn't find one). Running on Windows 7, 64 bit.
It turns out that there is an SDK and and SDK SP1. If you have VS 2010 SP1 installed (like I have) then only the VS 2010 SDK SP1 will install. Easy as that and nothing to do with VS 11 as I thought.
It's always recommended to install your oldest version of Visual Studio first and move on up to your newest. Uninstall 11 first, then install 2010, and then install 11. You might have better luck than you have so far.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional, i just got new Ultimate edition of Visual Studio 2010. I'm trying to uninstall the previous Professional version but it isn't working
When i try uninstalling through control panel it just freezes on
generating setup script and after few times Operating becomes not
responding, i waited for an hour but it didn't worked
Then i downloaded the Microsoft Utlity Visual Studio 2010
Uninstall Utility and that also didn't worked for me, it again
stuck in the middle of the progress bar with no reason
Can anyone tell me if he has any idea whats going on and how i can uninstall it
You don't have to uninstall VS2010 Pro to upgrade to Ultimate. Just run the Ultimate installer without doing anything to your existing VS2010 Pro installation and your version will be upgraded.
