Hi all you guys at MSDN,

I'm trying to get Visual Basic Express 2005 from computer A (Win98SE with dial-up) through to computer 2 (brand new WinXP SP2 without internet) but is having problems ... here's some questions about it...

Q1: Is there a way to download a .iso or .img without installing the SQL Server on it? If not, could you give me a CD copy thru the mail?

Q2: Can you make the download a bit smaller for dial-up users?

Q3: Why don't you make anything (or test anything) for Windows 98 anymore (I've been asking Microsoft a lot with no good reason) ?

Please can you help?

Thank you Microsoft (and friends),

You can keep a look out for magazines and if they have VB EE on their cover discs. If you just missed an issue you might ask if they still have an old issue that they have not yet returned.

Maybe you have someone you know that you can ask to download and burn an image for you?

Windows 98 is quite old by now and as versions come and go so does the support for them. You can see the windows product life cycle.
