I have tried installing VB Express and VC Express - both from web and installation image CD. It looks like the install works - no errors. Yet even after a reboot I do not have anything in my program group to allow me to start it.
I get a c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\ folder and subfolders, but I don't see a way to launch VB Express or VC Express.
I'm on WinXP SP2. Can any one give me a suggestion

Installed But It's Not There

That's really curious......
Here's something to try just out of curiosity's sake....
Check and see if you can find .... devenv.exe and see if you can make a shortcut to it.
Also please know that there is an Express Installation Issue Forum in this Forum group.
