Running Dynamics GP 2010, AX 2012, and SL 2011 on the same machine

I ran across an issue a while back that a developer was running into after installing Dynamics SL 2011 on a machine with Dynamics GP 2010 (and Dynamics GP 10).  Then in the next few days we had two more cases of the same issue (and again here , here , and here ).  But I’m getting ahead of myself in that we didn’t notice that was a common thread until the third case. So anyway, what we found was that SL ran fine as did GP 10.0.  However Dynamics GP 2010 would crash consistently on launch. After discovering that SL was the common denominator, we had un-installed SL and found that Dynamics GP 2010 again launched just fine.  Reinstalling SL would again cause GP 2010 to crash on launch.
