I want to create a Windows 7 64-bit (Ultimate) virtual machine with:
- Visual Studio 2010 (Ultimate)
- Office 2007 Enterprise (with Visio 2007)
- SQL Server 2008 (with SSIS and SSRS)
but I am not sure if there is a correct order to install those items such that there will not be a loss of "awareness" of one application from another on that list?
For example, I want to make sure Visual Studio knows that Office exists but also that Visual Studio knows that SQL Server exists but if I install SQL Server before Office will that wipe out any data access drivers that are needed by VS 2010 if Office is installed after SQL Server?
There are a lot of components and I never gave it a thought that install order would matter but I have a feeling it does. Ultimately I want to create a VM that I can save and use a base development VM from which to create additional VMs from.
