can we install sqlserver2005 before installing vs2005?

I want to install sqlserver2005 on my server2003 machine. I heard that sqlserver2005 should be installed prior to visualstudio2005. Is it right or wrong?

This link should give you the answer

In short

The issue is that if you install Visual Studio first, SQL Server Express will be installed if there is not a local instance of SQL already installed. When you later attempt to install the SQL Server 2005 workstation tools it will fail, but you are not blatantly alerted to that fact.

They are independent of each other. It shouldn't make a difference which one you install first.
