You can download 2 versions. You can download the individual modules ie.. CPlusPlus, CSharp, VB.net and Sql Server or there is an all-in-one download. These modules appear as if you are working in the normal Visual Studio except they work only with that particular language and support files and all that jazz. I do not have the links off the top of my head but a google search on: Download C++ Express 2008 orDownload : Download C# Express 2008 Download vb.net 2008 Download Sql Server Express 2008 or Download Visual Studio Express 2008 should get you some more reading on the topic. Watch out if downloading Sql Server Express with a Screen Reader it can be tricky and UnInstalling it can be even more tricky so back up your system prior to the downloads in case you need to do a restore if things go badly.

Long time ago, I have used Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, but I can not add a control to Microsoft Visual C++ resource - example (Dialog resource), because I can not find set of JAWS scripts for Visual C++ 6.0 anywhere. I am interesting can I download Visual Studio 2008 for free, because I have set of JAWS scripts for VS 2008, and Vs 2005, and I would like to try a newer version of this package. Best regards Darko
