    Burn VB2008 on a CD?

    I have a computer at home with a (slow) dialup connection and a computer at
    school with a fast connection.

    I want to go there (it is not close) and down load Vb2008 express, burn it
    into a CD, bring it home and install it on my home computer.

    Someone told me it can't be done.

    Is there a way of doing that?


    Thanks

      You can download the offline installer here:

      <URL:http://www.microsoft.c om/express/download/>

      However, AFAIS this is a 894 MB ISO file including all of the Express
      editions which doesn't fit on a CD. You'll have to burn it onto a DVD.

          Thanks I'll burn a dvd.
          I can't figure out getting the Express software for nothing.
          Must be something missing.
          Why would I buy VS2008?
          What is in vs2008 that is not in the Express collection you showed me?

          Thanks

              Hi,

              There are a number of differences between Visual Studio SKUs.
              http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2.../bb894689.aspx
              http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2.../bb894671.aspx
              etc.

              It the Express Edition does all that you need, then you are encouraged to
              use it. I do some Compact Framework development, so I have to use (at
              minimum) the Standard Edition.

              Dick

                  Mike,
                  No problem :-) I just wondered if there are small but important class
                  absences of .NET in express edition. I looked at a comparison table
                  about various editions of VS, didn't found particular info related to
                  this, only saw differences about platforms like service / framework
                  etc.
                  >
                  Are all the classes available in express within the same framework
                  version?
                  To the best of my knowledge, the framework and it's classes are identical to
                  the full Visual Studio.

                      "kimiraikko nen" <kimiraikkonen8 5@gmail.comschr ieb:
                      Is there any absence of .NET's namespaces and classes in express
                      edition when compared to paid editions?
                      (I think it's very import due to functionality of applications)
                      The .NET Framework is the same. However, Express editions are lacking some
                      project templates, designers, and custom libraries such as Crystal Reports,
                      which are only included in some of the "bigger" versions of VS.

                          The .NET Framework is the same.

                          Exactly.

                          In reality all you need to write a .NET application is a text editor
                          (such as Notepad) and vbc.exe which ships with the framework.
                          Visual Studio, any edition, is NOT required like it was with VB
                          classic. The IDE just gives us tools to make writing the programs
                          easier, and obviously the higher version you buy, the more tools you
                          get.

                          Thanks,
