Is it possible to install VS 2010 & .NET 4.0 in Windows XP machine with SP2.
Nope. you need at least winxp with Service pack 3.
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 is my PC's OS:
I try to Install vs 2010, then run it, then this dialog appears:
Then, I try to download vs2010 sp1 (the filename is: VS2010SP1dvd (iso image))
I try to install vs2010 sp1, then this dialog appears:
I try to find ways to install vs2010 sp1, but no clue.
I read the docs:

But, maybe that info is wrong? Maybe anybody know how to solve this case?
I would like to install Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7 64-bit.
For some reason, the installer says "Setup Blocked" with an error "This version of Visual Studio requires a computer with a newer version of Windows".
This error is not exactly descriptive of what's wrong. The least I could do was verify that I have the following installed :
Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) with Service Pack 1
Internet Explorer 10
Version: 10.0.9200.16750
Update Versions: 10.0.12 (KB2898785)
All Windows Updates that were available for installing on 11th of Dec. 2013.
Executed the installer with the /log winexp.log argument and got the following : winexp.log.
Any ideas of what else could be the problem ?
Thanks.
Edit : by looking at this question there was a crack that allowed installing Windows Phone's SDK on Windows 7 - does anyone know a similar solution for VS 2013 ?
The minimum requirements are based on the Express edition you're attempting to install:
Express for Web (Web sites and HTML5 applications) - Windows 7 SP1 (With IE 10)
Express for Windows (Windows 8 Apps) - Windows 8.1
Express for Windows Desktop (Windows Programs) - Windows 7 SP1 (With IE 10)
Express for Windows Phone (Windows Phone Apps) - Windows 8
It sounds like you're trying to install the "Express 2013 for Windows" edition, which is for developing Windows 8 "Modern UI" apps, or the Windows Phone edition.
The similarly named version that is compatible with Windows 7 SP1 is "Express 2013 for Windows Desktop"
Source
Visual Studio Express for Windows needs Windows 8.1. Having a look at the requirements page you might want to try the Web or Windows Desktop version which are able to run under Windows 7.

Fake IE10 to install Visual Studio 2013
Visual Studio 2013 requires Internet Explorer 10. If you try to install it on Windows 7 with IE8 you get the following error This version of Visual Studio requires Internet Explorer 10”.
The value that the VS 2013 installer checks is svcVersion in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorerkey on 32-bit Windows and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer on 64-bit Windows. Any value >= 10.0.0.0 makes the installer happy.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"
your log files shows it is stopping on error "0x8004C000"

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.

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.
