Installing Visual Studio & SQL Express Questions

HI Experts,

I want to install SQL Server express 2012 with all BI tools "SSIS" beside Visual studio on my laptop, I want to know:

1- The correct order for installing "which come first"?
2 - Is there a recommended version of Visual studio that's more suitable with SQL Server express 2012 version?
3- Why I found some files related to visual studio installed in my programs list, however I didn't install any SQL Server  or visual studio before?
4- If I have visual studio 2010 ultimate, is there any offer to upgrade to a newer version of visual studio?
5- In case of Uninstalling, which is correct order for Uninstall?

Thanka a lot in advance.

sql server uses older versions of the visual studio shell.  don't forget to install sp1 if you decide to install VS2010.  Why not just get VS2015 community edition? You don't need to uninstall older versions of VS.. SQL 2012 will use the VS2010 shell.
Hi,

Definitely for some of the older systems ie Install SQL 7 before SQL 2000 before SQL 2005 ...etc.

Had to reregister a dll or two when I did things out of sequence once.
