I am going to explain this very clearly so nobody misunderstands. DO NOT use the download link on Silverlight.net/getstarted/ DO NOT USE IT! (It installs Visual Web Developer 2008 Express onto your computer) Microsoft has already released a new Beta Version of VWD 2010 Express. VWB 2010-E has many more features than VWB 2008-E and comes with Silverlight 3 built in as well as most of the tools needed to design the UI (unlike previous versions). Follow this link to download VWB 2010-E:
Visual Studio Express Downloads
Once there, follow these steps:
- Click on the third tab labeled, "Visual Studio 2010 Express Beta 2"
- Click on the "Visual Web Developer 2010 Express Beta 2" link
- Download
- Launch installer
- Play solitaire while waiting for the stupid installer to finish (because you have nothing better to do)
- Dance around in utter joy when the installer finishes
P.S. Steps 5 and 6 are purely optional and are usually only followed by people with no life or who truly enjoy being chained to their cubicle desk during a common workday at the office.
