Went to this site and obtained the vbsetup

http://www.hide-link.com/

Everything seems to set up correctly, in the c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\ folder there is a \Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - ENU folder, and a \VB folder, with others.

There is no program group created, no desktop icon, no quick launch icon.

How do I start this thing

thanks, very much for any help

it should be in the start/program menu group - tried repairing the installation to see if it repairs it, in case it didnt install

interestingly, the file is only 2.82MB which is not the full thing, could be why

 

correct location:

yea I'm gonna grab the .iso and the .img, mount 'em in Magicdisk and give it a whirl.

did the "Microsoft Uninstall" thing they offer, cleaned out the previous installation(s). Got the .IMG and the .ISO, tried BOTH.

still, no startup icon, desktop icon, start menu.

would somebody please right-click on their icon, check properties, and paste that link here so I can trace the problem down, please.

thanks
