Windows Azure Update: The working set of programs for the latest iteration

My starting point for finding out the working set:
---------------------------------------------------
I got this warning while trying to install Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (the latest version) on a Windows 7 computer (x32) on which Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 RC Ultimate was installed.

Background of existing Programs:

Version:1.0.21111.1401
Published date: 11/13/2009


There is a new version of VSCloudService (version and data) published shown here:

Version: 1.2.30517.1601
Date Published: 5/19/2010

This is not supported by VS2010 RC but requires the VS2010 RTM or later version.
The download documentation however notifies that this version of VSCloudService.exe is supported by Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express 2010 (free) which can be downloaded from this site:

http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/

However it looks like you need to uninstall VS2010 RC before you can install Visual Web Developer Express 2010 from: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/

The working set and installation:

1. Remove Visual Studio 2010 RC Ultimate (or otherwise)
2. Install Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express from here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/
3. Install VSCloudService.exe [Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 1.2 (June 2010)]from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2274a0a8-5d37-4eac-b50a-e197dc340f6f&displaylang=en

Note: It would have been less confusing if some version info is attached to the file name: VSCloudService.exe like
VSCloudService_6_2010.exe.
