Ok, this may be the dumbest question ever, but I swear I searched for the answer and don't know what to do. I need to install Visual Studio 2008. The free version. I need it in order to compile something. Microsoft has a download page with a big red 'download' button. This button then proceeds to download a powerpoint file. No info under 'install instructions' I have found other links that show you how to install it, but assuming that you've already got whatever it is that needs to be downloaded.
I've also found a couple of random sites where I can download it, but don't know for sure if I can trust these sites. EDIT: I am also not having any luck finding visual studio express 2008. MS has links for 2012.
You liked, so, here's because I like you so much. Here are the direct links to all the Express SKUs for Visual Studio.
They are all completely free. NOTE: I wrote this post on my own, and not as a representative of Microsoft. That's their copyrighted logo over there on the right, and these downloads are all Microsoft's. MASSIVE UPDATE! You're not going to believe this, but there is no reason for this post anymore! There is now a FREE and very complete (basically Pro) version of Visual Studio called Visual Studio Community.
It even supports Visual Studio extensions! No need for Visual Studio Express! Download the new 'Visual Studio Community' NOW at. I'll only keep these links up for a little while longer. Visual Studio Community is a single download and supports EVERYTHING you see below and LOTS more.
