I downloaded the installers for Visual C# and Visual Web developer a week ago and them install them the only annoying this was the you can only download the installer and not the files that make the program, this means every time that I install it I have to download the files through the setup again. and I need to do that now because there in something wrong with the programs and I can't open them, or uninstall them the only option is to reinstall the program by running the setup, which means re-downloading the files again. is there some way in intercept the files and save them to my hard dive so every time I run the set up I don't have to have it download the files just in case this happens again. many thanks for any help.

It is the latest beta version that I have got. When you say free do you mean not postage no money at all. I am not willing to give away my my money, being a teenager that get five dollors a week and also I don't have a bank accout to give it away from. If it is not complety free I don't wan't it, maby you could send me and I iso file of the DVD it that is not too much troble? I wan't to use it to learn to write software, I can't do that yet.

go to the link and see for yourself. didn't cost me anything. Ttook about 2 weeks for me to get it. I don't know much about programing myself. However, I've reached a point in my career as a tech that I need to be able to program, script, debug, fix other peoples stuff if I want to go to the next level.

Ok thanks for your help I will get when I fix my computer up (I thinks the hard drive on the way out and am trying to get Dell to give me a new one under warinty, becasue the computer is five months old)

[starjax]

Buck to the origenal topic, I have to pay $20 for postage, do you know where I can get the complete download and not just the installer, which downloads it but wan't save it.

[starjax]

wow. what contry do live in?

[Michael]

I am in in Australia, never been out of it. And so I will have to put I with downloading it every time I need to reinstall it. ( I am have problems as I said before and so this might be anoying. plus to get all the optional things is more that I can download)

[starjax]

with such an investment surely you could talk the folks into helping you out. Its one of the few times MS did something right. Its a full dvd and I don't have any place to uploade for you to get it.

I see if I can get dad to bye it for me even if I have to pay most of it.
