I tried to download and install VWD 2008 Express when I found out that VWD 2005 Express was discontinued. When I tried to install this it failed to install the web authoring component, a conflict with an old paint program I used caused it I believe. I tried many things to fix this but was unable to. I've been sifting through the forums lately trying to find a way to do this. Everything I looked at suggested finding a folder with the WebDesignerCore in it. I've searched my entire hard drive but I've been unable to find it. It might be because I was using a program that removes temp folders from the hard drive. I was hoping there might be a way to either remove the partial install of this component or download it separately and try and install it again. I do have a second computer that I just made, can I install it on this one and get this from that computer?<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/><br/>Jamie© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
