Back to the question at hand...
I tried VS Express 2012, but it required .NET 4.5, which is required for Windows 8 and apparently incompatible with Windows 7. I had to remove all copies of .NET and anything related to Visual Studio in order to reinstall 2010 and get it working. The impression I got was Microsoft forcing the transition to Windows 8. Yes, 2012 will install in Windows 7, but don't expect to actually compile anything.

[For a Beginner] C++ express 2010 or C++ express 2012?

This is wrong. VS2012 works fine on Windows 7. You have to install the service packs for vs2010 and .net in order to avoid conflicts.
Like I said, it was my experience. Everything was so thoroughly corrupted after the install that I had to wipe everything related to .NET and VS from my drive in order to reinstall 2010 and get it to work. It was so bad that I thought I might have to reinstall Windows. It really messed things up.

You're doing it wrong.

I'm not really following this topic but i notice some problems with the install?
Computer -> Uninstall Programs -> Uninstall VS 2010, 2012 - express. Uninstall what you have left of it.
After:
- Just install VS 2012 express. Be sure to install everything. This will automatically install the service packages and any other thing you need. Even .NET should be re-installed/changed with this.
Link: http://www.microsoft...o/eng/downloads -> Click on "Visual studio express 2012 for windows desktop".
It can't be that hard to install..
I you have programmed in the 2010 before, here are some features of the C++11: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11
