I know this has probably been asked over and over but I need to download Visual Basic. I searched for it and the wolfness link doesnt work. I tried Kazaa but it hates me and it wont download. Where can i find it? I reformated my HD and i didnt save VB6 because i thought i would be able to get it back but i guess not. I really want to start coding again.

If you buy an MSDN Subscription, you can download it from subscriber downloads until December 31st.

Thats $100. Its an option but i wanna go the lowest cost lol

i'll trade for the latest version of IDA Pro :-)

I believe Microsoft does have a CE (Controlled Edition) on their website, and the only thing I noticed you can't do with it is make .exe's.

Ya I just downloaded it but its no fun. You cant use the Rich Textbox. No point of using it since i cant make exe's and you cant use some of the controls.

Winsock is disabled as well.

*shrug* You could go with a language which has feely distributed IDEs and compilers.

If you go to a university you may find a lot of reduced priced software. I got Windows XP Pro for $7 (including s/h) and VS.NET 2003 Pro for $15. The reason it's so cheap is because Microsoft wants the school to purchase more of their products if more students are used to their software.

They sell VS.NET 2003 Professional and Windows XP Professional for $10 here. That's fairly common for colleges. Microsoft does this because they're smart and can afford to offer stuff for low prices, in return for getting lots of the current generation of college students (read: future consumers/programmers/etc) familiar with their products.

So it's just another one of Bill's great ideas...

Is it legal to buy a copy for someone else?

I have one like the one your talking about. I dled cracks to let me use winsocks, rtbs, etc.

Check with your University about this website! I was just going through my back email from the school which I usually don't read, and found out I have a username and password on http://msdn01.e-academy.com/colorado_cs/ -- they offer all the latest microsoft products for downloading for free. Visual Studio 6, .NET 2002, .NET 2003, Windows Server 2003...you name it.

See the thing is im still in High School. Tommorow i will try and talk to the computer teachers. Most are useless but its worth a shot.

I actually have the setup with a key gen and all the crap needed... I will trade it for a few unmuted sc/war2/war3/d2dv keys. (3-5)

Does anyone know of any colleges with online ordering? ;D

I get software from my university for free. You just have to sign a document saying you won't distrubute/ms has the right to get a list of people who have use it/etc.

ya, you can check out just about any software from the library on campus. Can also buy or download it for really cheap, but you need a school id almost anywhere you go so its kind of stupid asking that, either way Havoc, if you want to get it then ask that don't imply warez right away (which is most definitly the worst way to get software, even if it is the cheapest you often get what you pay for :P )

Well i was and i wasnt implying warez. If warez are the only why i can obtain then i guess i would have to go that route. I would rather own my own copy so i know that i wont get in trouble. I have seen them online for like $27. I cant get it through my high school because they dont do that and they dont even offer programming as a course. There is a community college in my town. They have a bookstore that sells software but i need an id and 3 credits. My best bet will be to purchase it online.

gogo black market!

Well i thought i had found Vb6 for cheap, $27 , but its just a license >.< What is a good site that sells it for cheap?
