Try this Doc: It is from my article series on building websites using VWD and Sql Server Express. Rick USA. B02 HowTo Download And Install VWD 2008 Express Ver01 You should Create a System Restore Point before ever downloading and installing anything on your machine in case something goes horribly wrong. You can paste the below URL into your browser to go to the Microsoft Download page. http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/ Read any links that describe the product, installation instructions or PreRequisits. Then, if you are ready, cursor Down to the following code on the Microsoft Webpage: BeginCopiedCode: Visual Web Developer English Visual Web Developer 2008 Download Button EndCopiedCode: The above button will fire up the downloader. When the Download Security Warning comes up click Save to save the installer to your disc. vwdsetup Will be saved to the location you specified. You can close out everything and click vwdsetup To start the Installation to run: vwdsetup.exe The Window Titled Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition with Sp1 Setup will come up. check any optional products if you want and click next. Check the License Agreement and the installation should proceed as usual without inturruptions if you did not check the Optional Products option. Note: If you checked the optional products checkbox you may have to walk through that products installation Dialogs. This article is only for the clean VWD install without the optional products. In previous articles we have already downloaded and installed the Sql Server Express and SMSE. EndNote: any of these Microsoft unattended download And Install applications will just give you a message that the Download is done and you can disconnect from the internet. But do not be fooled. The installation is continuing and may continue for another 5 to 30 minutes depending what you are downloading with no notification. You can Alt Tab around if it appears you are stuck to see if another window was opened with a message but I have never had any problems using this type of Microsoft installer. A message will eventually come up telling you are done and to click finish or asking you to restart the computer. After the installation you should be able to see Visual Web Developer in the list of programs under your Desk Top Start menu after you have completed the installation and restarted your computer. It will also appear in the list of programs in the Control Panel's Add Remove Programs list of installed programs. If you managed to get this far you are pretty much done. I found the Downloading and installing of the Sql Server nerve wracking but it did work after I was able to understand, at least a little, the settings. If you have the Sql Server running and VWD installed you have a pretty powerful development environment.
