Is Visual Studio 2010 compatible with Windows 7 Home Basic? I'd be using SQL Server that comes with VS 2010 also. Are there any issues in the installation on Windows 7 Home Basic?
100% compatible, no need to worry about any compatibility issues.
The following is a list of supported Operating Systems for Visual Studio 2010. Since it specifies that the starter edition is not compatible for Vista SP2, and does not make that exception for Windows 7, you can be confident that they are compatible.
System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows Vista (x86 & x64) with Service Pack 2 - all editions except Starter Edition
Windows 7 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2003 (x86 & x64) with Service Pack 2 - all editions
WindowsServer 2003 R2 (x86 and x64) - all editions
Windows Server 2008 (x86 and x64) with Service Pack 2 - all editions
Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) all editions

What have I do to install VS2012 Ultimate ?
It is clearly stated by Microsoft that only 4 Windows releases are supported by Visual Studio 2012, and Windows Server 2008 (non-R2) is not qualified,
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x64)

I believe the link included in the error message can also lead you to this information.
So stop your fight in vain and try to build a qualified machine.

Visual Studio 2010 System Requirements
It's not mentioned on the requirements page posted by LukeH, but if it's 64-bit XP, then yes. I don't know if this is an official answer but I've been using it every day for the last few months. There is only SP1 and SP2 for x64 XP. The service packs for x86 and x64 aren't the same.
BTW, if you are using x64 XP then you should also install the Windows Automation API 3.0 for x64 Server 2003, here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981741. There's no official version for x64 XP, but again, I've been using this for a few months with no problem.
(Before you tell me to upgrade, I'm forced to use XP at work. I assume OP is too. Pity us. :)

This might sound like a stupid question, but I'm asking because my boss wants to know. What is the minimum Windows OS for binaries created with Visual Studio 2010? Not all the developers on the team have the Windows SDK installed. I know with it you can target down to Windows XP, but any idea what you can target without Windows SDK?
Actually you set WINVER in any header file before the core window.h is included, this determines which OS is required by the binary.
