Downloading MS Express Suites

[Halberstam Reader]

I just tried downloading Visual Studio Express and got an error
message saying that my OS needs to have a UDF directory structure, a
system independent format used on DVD's. If I can't save the download
file, how am I supposed to get the install suite onto my PC in a form
that can be read by Windows XP?

You need to go to this link and save the file on your system:

<http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express-iso>

After it is downloaded, you can use your NERO or other software to burn
it on a DVD.

Good lick.

Try downloading it as an ISO image and burning it yourself.

You are so dummy that you completely missed the previous message!
Perhaps changing your name to something else might improve your brain!!!

And the fact that you two posted 40 seconds apart on different servers
could not be an alternate explanation?

Yeah, I get a lot of that, too; someone says "but you just duplicated an earlier answer",
but since I hadn't *seen* the earlier answer I did not know I was duplicating it. Some
people just don't understand how technology works.

Or you can save the ISO image and use a product like VCD to virtualize it so it looks like
a CD/DVD. There's no particular reason to burn a CD or DVD. I haven't done this in
years. I just point VCD to the ISO image and proceed from there.

Yep, there is no need to create a DVD or even have a CD/DVD Drive. Here is a
link to VCD, which is freeware:

7-Zip, which is free and open source, can unpack ISO files as if they were
ZIP files:

If you don't want a DVD to install on several machines, you can just
download the installer and let it get the rest of the files directly
from the internet.

How about asking in the right newsgroup so you don't
waste peoples' time? You posted to 3 of them, none of
which seem to have anything to do with .Net. VBScript
certainly has nothing to do with .Net or with VS.

Whose time has he wasted? I can only say that you wasted your own time
by coming here in the first place. Let him enjoy with MS Visual Studio
2010 because it is a very fine product.

Having problems with sleeping habits right?
