Before you Install
When you sign into Visual Studio Community, you get access to a broad set of free developer tools, selected Xamarin University courses on-demand, Pluralsight training, Azure credits, and more as part of Visual Studio Dev Essentials. Learn more about Visual Studio Dev Essentials.
You will also be required to register with Microsoft at the end of the process. If you have a Hotmail or Windows Live account already then use that. If not then you will need to sign up (it is free) for one.
You'll need a reasonably fast Internet connection to the PC where you are going to install Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. Dial-up will take too long for a download that's nearly 80MB without MDSN or over 300 MB with it.
Starting the Download
It will give you the option of submitting anonymously to help Microsoft improve the experience. I have no problems with this but it's your choice.
On the next page : Instructions for the download and install.

Download Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
You may get asked to install prerequisites if your PC doesn't have the .NET 3.5 framework and MSDN, or 68Mb for just the C++ Part. You might want to do this early in the morning for faster download speed. It gets slower during the day.
You won't need the Platform SDK now but you might find it useful in the future.
You'll have to agree to the usual license terms of course.

Run and Register
You'll get the option of installing the MSDN Express library. If you are also installing Visual C# 2008 Express then you only need the MSDN Express library to be downloaded once.
You will need the MSDN for the integrated help etc. Don't even think of not downloading at least one copy! There is an amazing amount of help, examples and samples in the MSDN library that make it well worth the big download.

Preparing to Download
You're almost ready to download and install. This is one of the slower bits particularly if you have selected MSDN and/or the SDK. You'll probably have time to prepare a meal never mind a coffee break!
Check you have enough disk space free. As a general rule, Windows works best with at least 10-20% of the disk free and the occasional defragment. If you don't defrag now and then and if you delete and copy or create new files fairly frequently (such as this download) then files will be spread far and wide across your hard disk making it longer (and slower) to retrieve them. It's also reckoned to wear out disks quicker but that's difficult to quantify. Think of it as like a service for your car to keep it running well.

Watching the Download and Install
This step will take a while depending on your internet connection speed and PC speed. But it will finish eventually and you will be able to play with Visual C++ 2008 Express.
Aslr win 10. Jan 11, 2018 Microsoft says ASLR behavior in Windows 10 is a feature, not a bug. After a prominent security analyst criticized the implementation of a Windows 10 security feature, Microsoft fired back.
This would be a good time to register a hotmail account with Microsoft if you haven't got one. It's a bit of a pain if you haven't got one but at least it's free and doesn't take too long too sign up. You need this so you can login to it when you register at the end. It's free but without it, Visual C++ 2008 Express will only give you a 30 day trial.

Running Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition for the First Time
After downloading and Installing, run Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. This will try to connect to the internet to check for updates and new downloads. When you run it the first-time, it will take a few minutes registering components and configuring itself to run and you'll see the dialog appear while it's busy.
You now have 30 days to register to get a registration key. The key will be emailed to you within a few minutes. Once you have it, run Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, hit Help and Register Product then enter your registration code.

Compile and run the Hello World Application
Now press the F7 key to compile it or click on the Build Menu and click Build Ex1. That will take a few seconds and you should see
After a successful compilation, click on the line that says return 0 and press the F9 key. It should put a small circular arrow in the margin. That's a breakpoint. Now press F5 and the program should run until it hits the line where you pressed F9.
You should be able to click the black box where the output of the application goes and see the Hello World message in the top left corner. On the next page you'll see a screen dump of this.
Now select Visual C++ again, and press F5 again. The program will run to completion and the output window will vanish. If we hadn't created a break point you wouldn't have seen the output.
That completes the installation. Now why not have a look at the C and C++ Tutorials.

Ok, this may be the dumbest question ever, but I swear I searched for the answer and don't know what to do.
I need to install Visual Studio 2008. The free version. I need it in order to compile something.
Microsoft has a download page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7873 with a big red 'download' button. This button then proceeds to download a powerpoint file. No info under 'install instructions'
I have found other links that show you how to install it, but assuming that you've already got whatever it is that needs to be downloaded.
I've also found a couple of random sites where I can download it, but don't know for sure if I can trust these sites.
