Hi everyone!
As far as I can see, noone has posted this nice-to-know-info yet, so here I come, doing it.
Microsoft has made their Visual Studio programs available for download.
The Express editions can be downloaded from this website:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/
for the dynamic web install or to this website:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/mani...ll/default.aspx
to download the whole CD(s)
Also if you do not have the bandwidth to download them, simply order the Visual Studio 2005 from this website:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/getthebetas/
It is absolutely free, all you have to do is give them your postal address, name and phoneno. and they'll send you a CD (maybe several, still waiting for mine) with the program on.
Hope this is useful to anyone!! :biggrin: :biggrin:
Btw. installing any of the Visual Studio products, require SP2, which can also be ordered free of charge from this website:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa..._us/default.msp
and Microsoft wil send you SP2 for winXP

"Btw. installing any of the Visual Studio products, require SP2"
Maybe what I have is a different make, but I have Visual Studio Enterprise installed with SP1, and it works fine ... |

First installed it on Win98 without any updates.
Microsloth just wants you to use their bloatware. |

Are you talking about this version? I tried to install it on mine, it said it wouldn't install it untill I had installed SP2...
Anyways, Microsoft has more free progs up the sleeve. A while back they bought a rather good drawing program (based on vectors) named Expression 3. They had Expression 3 available for download for a while, but resently they have released a beta version of their further development, the program goes under the name "Acrylic", the website is:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/
[EDIT] aparently you also need SP2 for this prog, but I don't know, haven't tried it. I've only tried the old "Expression 3", a great prog in my oppinion.

I don't know, I've had the Visual Studio .Net 2003 installed without the SP2, but when I tried to install Visual Studio .Net 2005 Beta 2 (the one in the link above) It wouldn't because I hadn't installed SP2.
So therefore I guess versions do matter, but maybe that's just the case with the webinstall, (my CD hasn't arrived yet, and I haven't downloaded the whole thing either) :D
[EDIT] Baaah, just read the EULA apparently the VS programs are time limited, they will only work until may next year or a year from installation (depending on the components). I'll look into Acrylic ... *crossing fingers* ... Expression3 was free.
[2nd EDIT] Buaaah, meany micro$oft, they've put an "I refuse to work past 31 dec. 2005" in Acrylic. It is not fair how they can take a beautiful, free product and make it go $$$. Note to self: make sure I don't have any more emotional burst outs in public
