Ok, this may be the dumbest question ever, but I swear I searched for the answer and don't know what to do.
Product description. Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2008 Win32 English DVD DVD Amazon.com. Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition is a comprehensive set of tools that accelerates the process of turning the developer's vision into reality.
I need to install Visual Studio 2008. The free version. I need it in order to compile something.
Microsoft has a download page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7873 with a big red 'download' button. This button then proceeds to download a powerpoint file. No info under 'install instructions'
I have found other links that show you how to install it, but assuming that you've already got whatever it is that needs to be downloaded.
I've also found a couple of random sites where I can download it, but don't know for sure if I can trust these sites.
EDIT: I am also not having any luck finding visual studio express 2008. MS has links for 2012.
