I registered VBExpress and went to the registration portal. I tried to download the Build a Web Site Now! PDF file from there, however when I downloaded the file, it turned out to be a ASPX file, which, when opened, said:

Can't Download Registration Benefits

i don't know if this will help you but it did me. i was having the same problem, i couldn't download any of the benifits products, (i tried to download one of the books also) i tried about 7 or 8 times with no luck until i spotted this. go to the download page for the book again, but look just above the box for a small yellow colored message box that goes all the way across the screen and says something like you might need to download this control in order to be able to download the book. just click the link in the message and it will download the item you need to be able to download the book. after you do that try and download the book again, it should work for you now.
