I'd probably recommend you install .NET will all service packs and patches and Visual Studio will all service packs and patches.
Although my edition was the 64-bit Business Intelligence version I'm almost sure that the pre-reqs for Visual Studio and .NET are the same.
Not installing the Service Pack for VS2010 caught me out.
Good luck!
