Hi Ian,

Did more than 30 days pass between installing the VS Express and trying to enter the registration key? If so, that copy of VS has timed out, and the only way I know to workaround the situation is to uninstall it and download again, this time with your registration key ready to hand.

 hth, Martin

Hi Listers,

I have downloaded and installed Visual C++ Express, and am now trying to get it working.

I have successfully obtained a registration key. When I run the program, it presents a field into which I can paste this key. But the only available choice is “Close”, and when I click it the program closes. When I run it again the same thing happens.

Could some one familiar with these express versions offer a suggestion about what is wrong?

Many thanks in advance for any and all ideas.

All the best,

Ian D. Nichols,
Toronto, Canada
