Hi,
Is it possible to install DS 7.1, 7.5.1 and 8.7 clients in one Windows 7 64-bit machine. If yes, then is there anything special needs to be done to make everything (7.1, 7.5.1 and 8.7) work fine without any issue using multi-client manager??

Welcome aboard.
For starters, version 7.x is a purely 32-bit application - you need to be aware of that. They are also of an age that their installation is not supported on Windows 7 (which did not exist at the time).

If you really want to be able to support your client across old DS client versions like that, I would suggest you either dual-boot to XP or if you have Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise you can download Windows XP Mode for free.
Of course, you could always just try it and see if you have any issues. Make sure there is no 'overlap' between the install locations.
