So I got a new computer, and finally have some time to tinker with TorqueX again. Lo' and behold I cannot find visual studio 2005 express editions anywhere. The link http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/ shows me only 2008 editions, and according to all the threads I've found here it dont work with 2008 express editions.

Anyone found a download link to 2005 express editions?

Someone stated in this thread (http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/88279) that the Microsoft announced that the Visual Studio 2005 Express editions were not going to be available anymore after March 31st.

I wish I could help by providing a link somewhere else to download (if thats actually legal); but I use professional edition.

you will also need XNA 2.0: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=df80d533-ba87-40b4-abe2-1ef12ea506b7&displaylang=en
