Have a shiny new Windows 7 64-bit machine and got a bit over zealous and installed Visual Studio 2010 before I installed VS 2008. Still need 2008, can I install 2008 after 2010 or do I need to uninstall 2010, install 2008, then SP1, then reinstall 2010?

A:
Uninstalling and reinstalling VS2010 shouldn't be necessary. Install VS2008 and SP1, then run the VS2010 uninstaller but choose to repair rather than uninstall, this will fix any registry settings broken by installing in the "wrong" order.
