Visual Basic Express Edition expired..

  Fair enough. I didn't know they'd stopped releasing the beta editions. I'm just registering my new copy now ;) thanks

  You can cheat.

  Set your clock back a month, fire up the "expired" beta, then set your clock back to current time. (At least it works for me.)

  I think why they distribute a version that is expired is a question for Computer Shopper to answer.

  The download of the released, non-expiring version has been available since 7th of november 2005.

  Somehow, I don't think that would have worked.. I think the alert mentions something about changing the system clock as part of the reason it's telling me it expired. However, if you say it worked for you, thats fine! I simpily installed the free Express Edition: before I had beta 2.

  Yep, I'd guessed as much. It begs the question why distribute something that's already time expired

  Thanks.

  You can get replacements.

  Same answer - download the full version, which is still free.

I installed this on my PC yesterday, a fresh install, and opted to register later - its a Beta version that has a 30 day period. the install was slow, but there were no problems until I came to run it, only to be told the Beta period had expired and I could safely uninstall it. Any ideas

  That happened to me too :(

  The key word here is 'beta'. All betas expire. The full version of VBEE does not exire, you should download it, uninstall the beta and install the final release.
