As far as I know RSF of different versions *should* be able to reside next to eachother. Designer is such a tool that comes with both 8.0 and 7.3 RSF. Mind the *should*, tho ;). System support files are another chapter, these may bite. Generally, check if all works after installing a component (rdbms, e.g.). Then install the next component, and check the first one again. If broke, reinstall SSF for that component. If your last installed component is now broken, you probably have 'incompatible' products.
Generally, some combinations work.
