Hi Lordoffriends,

As far as I know, a Windows Live ID is required for Visual C++ 2008 express registration and activation. Creating a Windows Live ID account is easy and free. Please visit Windows Live for additional information.

And here is a Visual studio 2008 express edition registration FAQ, please check the URL below.

As an alternative, we can download we can download the VS 2008 Express edition All-in-One DVD Image (ISO) file from the LINK below, it is in the bottom of the page.

http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/default.aspx

After we download the ISO file, we can install it instantly without register key, and we can use the VS 2008 express without registration.

Regards,

Xun

Hi Xun Ye, 

Instead of copy and pasting a standard response maybe some investigation would be prudent. I am having the exact same problem as Lordoffriends and your response only served to further aggravate myself and more than likely Lordoffriends as well.  I have a Live ID, the FAQ provided no useful assistance and I already have the software installed so the DVD install would be as useless to me as your post.
