Re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 downloads for offline install
Hello SF members, Today I want to find Visual Studio 2008 (offline). I can't find it, on Microsoft site I can find only VS2012 and 2012, but I need 2008 for my work. Download visual basic 6.0 offline installer for free. Development Tools downloads - Microsoft Visual Basic by Microsoft and many more programs are available for instant and free download. Can anybody tell me the site from which I can download Visual Studio 2008? Because Visual Studio 2010 is now able to be purchased I can't find Studio 2008.
