Visual C++

I want to download Visual C++ but I dont want to have to download the service packs that you need to download and install... Is there a way around this or is it necesary to get the service packs first?

Last I checked, normal people prefer to sleep through the night. So what's the problem? In these days of flat rates, it's not unheard of to sleep through a long download.

Melbolt, what?

You can order an SP2 CD, though it'll take 4-6 weeks to arrive. You'll also need the .NET Framework version 2.0.
