Hi,
I'm looking for a way to install the VC# 2005 Express Edition on my Win XP SP1 computer. I can't upgrade becoz the SP2 doesn't work stable on my computer and with my ISP. Im forced to stay on SP1, is there anyway i can install the VC# IDE on my present pc....
The online installer i downloaded does not allow me to proceed until I'm done with the upgrading.
Regards,

Unfortunately not. Both the Express editions and the full editions of Visual Studio require Service Pack 2 when running on XP, as does the 2.0 .NET Framework.
Your choice is to upgrade to XP SP2, or be stuck with the 1.1 framework as VS2003 at most.

Sometimes people can get a computer with an illegitament copy of windows pre-installed!

It is possible that you don't have a legit copy of windows!
Your ISP has nothing to do with SP2!!
I hope this post has been helpful
