So, i was looking for visual baisc download(trial version, full version, w/e i could find) so i searched google and found that microsoft has free 90day trials so i went to download it and the file type is .img....any idea what thats all about i am completely confused about it? its an accual microsoft website so i dont knkow why its a .img file or how i can install it if i were to ever spend 30 hrs downloading it here is the link if you want to see ClickMe

Quick Details
File Name: En_vs_2005_Pro_90_Trial.img
Version: 2005
Date Published: 6/29/2006
Language: English
Download Size: 2734.3 MB
Estimated Download Time: 88 Hr 20min


clearly i decided not to download it seeing as it was 2.7g over my shitty connection of like 10kb/s because i have wireless unless i disable everything including explorer, then i get like 30kb/s but still im not going to leave my labtop on for 29 hours.

so i was wondering if anyone knows anywhere i can find a visual basic download trial or w/e that wont take 30hrs to DL or why that is a .img file.

Thanks

for future knowledge:


For an img file you can use Isobuster to extract the IMG file into usable files that would probably look similar to what you would see on a CD, or Daemon tools would most likely work for mounting it so you dont need to deal with any of that.

What's VB express?

A free distribution of Visual Basic .NET but stripped down.

Ah... I was thinking it was a free Visual Basic program xD Like... Visual Basic 6: Enterprise or something.
