I'm not sure I'm at the right place here, so direct me if
I'm not.

I downloaded Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and 2008
Express.
But I can't get them installed. It seems right at the very
end everything goes
bananas. Halts and goes into the panic mode by Disk
Checking. I have to power
off and reboot, then it wants to do a check disk. It did say
something about compatible
hardware? Both versions did the same thing. I have XP Pro
2. It creates
the directory and looks like a lot of files are there but at
the very end of the installation is when
it goes nuts. Any Idea's. I'm going to try it on vista
this afternoon.

You never explained in your last post what you
were trying to accomplish. You still haven't in
this post. But it sounds like you want an ASP.Net
group. This is a VBScript group. VBScript *can* be
used in ASP.Net but it's not the same thing.

I'm sorry I thought I had.... I want to learn ASP/ C#. The
instructional's with Microsoft
talk about using Visual Web Development 2005 Express. I
down loaded them and could never get them to install. I'm
sorry I'm in the wrong group. Thanks for the come back.

I didn't mean for my response to sound critical.
It's just that I get the sense that you don't know the
landscape. When you asked what scripting language
to use that was like asking, "Should I use a frying
pan or saucepan?" Well, it depends on what you
want to cook. :) No one can really give a helpful
answer if they don't know what you're using the tool
for.

Then you decided to use ASP, which isn't a scripting
language. And C# is something altogether different. C#
is one of the .Net languages. .Net is Microsoft's Java
knockoff, mainly for writing server-side, JIT-compiled
software. (A typical usage might be a database
component on a large, corporate websire.)

If you just got a job doing web design on a Windows
server that uses ASP.Net then your choices might be good
ones. If not, then your choices might not be what you
need. Personally I would never use any MS products
for website-related work. As soon as you start you're
faced with MS/IE lock-in. (Thus, most professional web
designers who can't code will use Dreamweaver, not
FrontPage AKA Expressions Studio.)

I've never heard of VWD, but it appears to be for
ASP.Net. (ASP.Net is the successor to ASP.) If that's
where you're headed then maybe this group will help:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

There may also be others. Any group with "dotnet"
in the name deals with .Net. If you really want ASP,
and not ASP.Net, then you're talking about server-side
scripting on an MS server. In that case you may not be
able to use VWD.

You hit the nail on the head. I do not know what I am
talking about. I didn't take
your response critical. I'm searching. I'm just doing a
few web sites and I want to get
a little more interactive. You have shed a lot of light and
I for one appreciate that. I also
appreciate you being there for us. You'll see me pop up
from time to time with stupid questions. I have one now. I
would like to automatically respond to certain email I
receive with a forwarding to information in the email
itself. I have no idea where to start looking, or even if
it's possible.

Thanks for your patience....
