how to install SSMSE 2008 after installing VS 2010 please help
You must slipstream the SQL 2008 SP1 before installing SQL 2008. The linked article explains how to do that.
An easier workaround is to first install the SQL Server 2008 SP1 package or SQL Server 2008 SP2. The SP1 install will fail, since there is no SQL Server installation to patch, but in the process it will deploy newer setup bits that have the Invoke/BeginInvoke issue fixed. Afterwards you run the normal RTM setup and it will succeed, as it will re-use the newer setup bits already present on the machine from the SP1 instalation. After the installation of SQL Server 2008 RTM succeeds, you still needs to apply SP1 or SP2.
If you’re attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Express you should install directly the SP2 bits: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP2 Express Edition Service Pack 2, or better yet Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 – Express Edition. The 2008 R2 Express has the database size limit increased to 10Gb.
