    Yes, I can see where you can download it, but what I bought was an official Microsoft software box that said Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. Paid about $50 from Amazon and there is nothing about downloading or one year trial either. Includes SQL server express, and a bunch of other odds and ends. Might ask for my money back since I could have downloaded VB for free.

  • Dave DeJonge


    I would send it back. It's obviously been mislabeled. You're at least the second person I've heard from recently that had the same problem.

  • YuvalO

    Basically (no pun intended) got ripped off here, paying for something which I didn't have to and, in fact, didn't even get! I'll see if I can my money back, which is doubtful.

    Thanks for the info

    Hi,

    I think that Microsoft not sale the VB express edition yet because it's a freeware for use for one year. you can download from Microsoft URL:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/default.aspx

    also you can download the video training kit for free and the Microsoft SQL 2005 Express edition too.

    Thanx :-)
