    Offline Visual Studio 2005 Installation

    Facing a problem here.

    My Visual Studio 2005 Express is kaput. I need to reinstall. However I'm currently facing a problem with it. My computer at home is not connected to internet until I get the folks to come and install an ISDN line (new home I moved recently). The public library from which I connect to the internet doesn't obviously allow executables to be ran.

    I can't seem to find a way in the Microsoft website to download a full installation file of the express edition. You know any way?

    I have made a CD from the ISO file given at the Manual Installation Instructions for Express Editions page. It worked for me, full installation.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Thanks so much Laserlight. I wasn't finding that page for some reason.
