Need VISUAL C++ program ASAP

Hi! I need the program Visual C++. latest edition 2008. I need to do my take home midterm exam. But I have check all the download sites. It is 3GB of size. Anyone know? Can help me? I just need to use it today. I know it's piracy but I only need it today and ASAP. Pls anyone can help, PM me. Or much better if you can tell it to me on my msn [email protected].

PLS PLS PLS!

 

The express editions are free and legal. I don't see why you wouldn't use that.

Moreso, I prefer to hardcode things. I don't really like GUI builders. Nonetheless,

TYVM! Told you though I prefer PM so I would notice reply ASAP.

 

I had downloaded the online installation and this is what I get

Can someone please give me an offline installation?

 

Unfortunately, the only offline install option is a package of everything. Meaning, the offline install download requires you to download a lot more.

Nonetheless, scroll down to the bottom of the page here:

The only way you can get the offline installation is order the CDs from them which would take time to arrive

 

Don't be silly. There is clearly a download on the express edition website.

 

there are open-source alternatives like eclipse or eMacs.. they all do relatively the same thing. V C++ is best in its light weight form of express.
