Must Office Professional Plus 2010 be installed after Visual Studio .Net Pro 2002? Is it possible for an older Module or program to replace a later version if the installation o0rder is reversed?

I have a new PC running the current level of Windows 7 and would like to install Visual Studio .Net Pro which I used to run on my old PC. I also have Office Professional Plus 2010 and want to install it on my new PC. Should I install them in any particular order? Will an old product like Visual Studio .Net Pro 2002 cause a conflict with a much newer product Like Office Professional Plus 2010? For instance, could the older product cause a back-level module or program to be installed over a newer one?

According to the informations provided by the Windows 7 Compatibility Center at the following web address

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&type=Software&s=Visual%20Studio%20.NET

Visual Studio .NET 2002 should not be compatible with Windows 7, because it is not listed in the query results: if you really need to run Visual Studio .NET 2002, you must try running it in compatibility mode or rely on virtualization by using Windows Virtual PC with XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/) or a virtualization program.
Otherwise, you must install at least Visual Studio 2005.

Anyway, the rule is always the same: the most recent version of a program must be the last to install.

Bye.
