| 779666 | 2009-06-04 11:42:00 | I am trying to download a copy of the above to follow James Sugrue's tutorial in the June issue of PCWNZ, but despite following all the MS suggested problem solving tips find I am unable. Am running XP SP3 with 1GB RAM 2x80Mb HDDs. I keep getting a message saying that I am not connected to the internet. I have a DSL connection which is working. Any suggestions welcome. Scot |

| 779668 | 2009-06-05 09:11:00 | yes, the address I tried to download from was in fact: www.microsoft.com , which was the one mentioned in James first article. I was able to download 'vcssetup' , but when I came to the instal it choked and came up with errors suggesting the internet was not connected. I understand one of the possible explanations was that my firewall (ESET) was preventing the transfer of information, but switching this off made no difference. Scot |

| 779672 | 2009-06-05 10:27:00 | He's running XP Have you tried disabling all protection and doing it from safe mode? You shouldn't have to - Visual Studio Express doesn't need to make any significant changes to the system. Also, running from safe mode will mean there is no network/internet connection - which will just exacerbate Scot's problem. Scot: You could try downloading the Offline installer (down the bottom of the page), which won't need to connect to the internet during the installation process. |
