Question : Install MS Visual Studio .NET/SQL Server and PHP/MySql on the same computer

What is the best way to install Visual Studio 2010 express/SQL Server 2008R2 express and PHP/MySQL on same computer with windows 7 64bit.

I would like to do some ASP.NET C# / SQL Server development with .NET CMS and also WordPress/Joomla PHP/MySQL development on the same computer. I have tried to install WAMPSERVER (www.wampserver.com/en/) and Visual Studio/SQL Express on the same computer without much luck.

I haven't tried PHP for windows. Is it worth trying?

Are there other alternatives?

Thanks!

I have all that except it's older versions running on my XP machine and it works fine.  PHP is the same on Windows as Linux with a very few exceptions.  I prototype websites on PHP/IIS and load them on Linux/Apache and have only had a problem with the PHP on the Linux system being too old.  I'm sure I could find a way to break it but mostly it just works.

You may have trouble with the 64-bit aspect because there is no official Apache for 64-bit though some people have it running.  And some don't.
