Downloads VC++ 2008 Express edition.
Installs it. "You need to register your product"
Registers it. "Thanks, we will email you your details"

That's odd: I just went and downloaded VC++2008 Express and installed it; when I went through the registration process, it didn't say "Thanks, we will email you your details" at all. It said:

Thank you for registering!

And this is progress.

Stick with VB6.
