If you are squemish about signing up for a Microsoft account, you can do what I did. I use my live.com address for my contact information for my Linux and Open Source development.

A Windows Live ID is required to register.
I did not find any way around it when I recently registered my copy of C# at 
least.
When I clicked Register now from the help menu from within C# 2008 Express a 
web page opened.
The heading was Visual Studio 2010" but when I logged in with my Live ID and 
completed the registration I received a key for 2008.
I copied the product key to the clipboard and pasted it in the registration 
dialog and hit OK.
Microsoft then thanked me for registering VS C# 2008 Express and I hit OK.
I guess the procedure is similar with VB 2008.

Hi Howard: I am not sure about needing a live key but if you need one it is free. The process to register the product otherwise is to go to that webpage 

as you did. Then fill in all the fields in the form and click the continue
or whatever the next button is. You will be sent to another page where you
can cursor to the Product Key you need, copy it to the clipboard, close the 
browser and paste it into the TextBox in the Register Dialog where you
started. Then click the Register button and you should be done.
If you need the Live Key thingy you will have to read up on getting one
since I have had mine for 5 or more years and forget how I got it. But, it
was free and not a problem to get from what I remember.

Here I am again; this time trying to register my vb 2008.  Going to
Register in the Help menu, gives me a dialog that took me to a microsoft
page that wanted me to use my windows live logon to get a registration
number for 2010.  I don't have any windows live login and I don't see how
to get a key for 2008.  Being the procrastinator I am, I now have only 21
days left.  How frustrating!
Help, please?
Howard

So it sounds like they are adding Silverlight to the download now days.
OK, Registration of the product is free and after you register it you can 


use it as long as you want. I will see if I saved a step by step on how
to register it. The general process use to be to click the Register item
under the help menu from inside the IDE. Then mous click on the words
"Register Now" or similar verbage in the dialog box that comes up. Then
you are taken to a Microsoft Website where you fill out a general
question form about your interests, click continue or next and read your
Registration Code on the next page. You copy it to the clipboard, close
your browser to return to the Registration Dialog Box, paste the code
into it and then eeither just hit enter or tab to a button that says
something like continue, finish or something. You have 30 days to
register it and I will see if I have a step by step around with better
instructions since I have not done it in a year or so. I think the
hardest part of getting started is downloading, installing and
configuring that puppy. Get that done and life gets a little easier going 


forward.

Thanks Rick,  I got your book and installed vbsetup.exe which turns out
to be (it seems) visual basic.net.  the first time, i left silver light
checked but unchecked sql.  It crashed in the middle.  second time I
unchecked both silver light and sql.  then it installed ok.  Now it
wants me to register in 30 days.  I don't think I'll learn enough about
it in 30 days to know if I want to buy it. I'll continue following your 


book--probably with questions, if it's OK?

Hi Howard: Indeed. Each of the setup exe modules is the installer for
that language. the vbsetup.exe is for the Vb.net and the others are for 


their respective languages. I too used Liberty Basic for a few years
and it is a very nice language and the e-list folks were very good to
work with and helpful. As I mentioned, I recommend you take a week or 2 


and walk through my booklet on how to use VB.net with a screen reader.
It covers downloading, installing and configuring it for use with a
screen reader like WindowEyes. It also demonstrates how to build a
project, add forms to a project, the use of OOP in the form of Classes, 


Properties and Methods as well as various hot keys and shortcuts that
make accessibility easier.http://EmpowermentZone.com/VB2008WinEyes.zip
If you take the time to walk, slogg at times, through this book you
will be ready to handle the basics of working in VB.net within the IDE. 


After that you should be able to extend your learning using the basic
accessibility tools in the booklet applied to new learning situations.
The Booklet is for folks exactly like you who have an understanding of
programming but want to get into using the Visual Studio IDE for it's
massive power and Design-Time tools.
