Hi RoninX8, Based on my understanding, you are trying to Web install Visual Basic Express 2008. As far as I know, a Windows Live ID is required for Visual Basic Express 2008 registration and activation. Creating a Windows Live ID account is easy and free. Please visit for additional information.
If one Live ID fails to get the registration key, just create a new Windows Live ID, and try the steps again to get the registration key. As an alternative, we can download we can download the VS 2008 Express edition All-in-One DVD Image (ISO) file from the LINK below, it is in the bottom of the page. After we download the ISO file, we can install it instantly without registration key, and we can use the VS 2008 express without registration. Regards, Xun. Thanks for replying Caddre!
Unfortunately, I've already been through the links you posted and tried contacting support directly before posting here. When I attempted to email support directly my message was returned undeliverable for some reason.
Looking through the program there isn't any menu link for inputting a Key so It may be a safe assumption to make that Microsoft did away with the key for the 2008 edition of the Visual Studio Express products. Considering the products are made available free to use this would save some hassle for the user and kind of seems like a sensible thing to do from a users standpoint.

This is for RoninX8 and everyone in the world that is having trouble registering there VB product.
I too have sat and watched the little green circle for hours and made numerous email attempts and phone calls to Microsoft to try and register my VB program. So discouraged over the whole thing I was ready to accept the fact that I would never learn VB. But do not fear, Gary Found the cure. First of, you bad little programmer, you didn’t do your updates from Microsoft. Well, maybe you don’t have to but I would if I were you. Every time you install a program, Microsoft looks for updates to HELP YOU with your product.
I know, they just seem to get in the way when you’re in the middle of something very important like a game of FreeCell. OK, I hope this helps you so here it is.
It’s so simple your going to pull your hair out of your head wondering why you didn’t think of it right off hand. Open your Internet browser and go to “ Tools”. Select “ Manage Add-ons. Make sure anything from Microsoft is ENABLED. I have included a list that I have and 3 of them were disabled and after enabling them again, everything worked just fine. You probably don’t need all the ones I have listed but make sure you run UPDATES before you try to register again. And even then after everything comes to life for you, run UPDATES again.
I sure hope this helps all of you lost souls out there. If it does, drop me a line. If not, May the power of Microsoft have mercy on you.
Hi Arunkumarsosweeet, Welcome to the MSDN forum. Could you please let me know which version of Visual Studio 2008 you want to register? For Visual Studio 2008 Express, you can register it by opening the IDEHelpRegister ProductLogin with a Windows Live accountFill some basic informationReceive an Email with registration key. For Visual Studio 2008 non-Express version, if you have used it for more than 90 days, you are required to purchase this product to get the key. If you used it no more than 90 days, you can try to get the extension key to continue to use it. To do so: HelpRegister Product. If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards, Alexander Sun MSFT MSDN Community Support. First off, please do not use 'keygen' as your term. That makes your intentions sound malicious.
If you kindly look at the s at the top of this board, you will see the following question/answer: Q: How do I register? Choose the Product Registration menu option from the help menu inside Express Edition application you want to register.
You do not need to register if installed from the CD images. You do not need to register SQL Server 2005 Express Edition but you can if you want.

Download This sotware is really a cleaner that comes simple to operate and also an excellent price tag. This found more unacceptable entries than different registry cleaners, and much faster, too. Where can i full insanity workout for.
Our experts agree that this can be a very good solution. Almost all ms-windows along with application settings are stored on your own registry and after a while these things may clog it upwards. When you remove or simply plain stop using a program its information still remains from the registry sometimes which makes it harder for windows to succeed in the proper info. This causes your computer to move reduced and sometimes might even cause registry linked crashes.
I am Visual Studio 2010 Professional user. But for a reason I need Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition. I downloaded this, but I need the serial key to activate the product, otherwise it will expire in 30 days. When I go, I got this error: 'Thank you for your interest in registering Visual Studio. We are currently experiencing issues with the registration process. We are working on this and will have it fixed as soon as possible.

Please try to register your product again at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience.'
I tried for a long time, but I got the same error every time. Is there any other way to get the serial key? I have an improvement on the answer @DewiMorgan gave for VS 2008 express. I have since confirmed it also works on VS 2005 express. It lets you run the software without it EVER requiring registration, and also makes it so you don't have to manually delete the key every 30 days.
It does this by preventing the key from ever being written. (Deleting the correct key can also let you avoid registering VS 2015 'Community Edition,' but using permissions to prevent the key being written will make the IDE crash, so I haven't found a great solution for it yet.) The directions assume Visual C# Express 2008, but this works on all the other visual studio express apps I can find. Open regedit, head to HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft VCSExpress 9.0 Registration. Delete the value Params. Right click on the key 'Registration' in the tree, and click permissions. Click Advanced.
Go to the permissions tab, and uncheck the box labeled Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here. In the dialog that opens, click copy (Note that in Windows 7, it appears the copy button was renamed to add, as in add inherited permissions as explicit permissions). Hit OK in the 'Advanced' window. Back in the first permissions window, click your user, and uncheck Full Control.
Do the same thing for the Administrators group. Hit OK or Apply. Congratulations, you will never again be plagued by the registration nag, and just like WinRAR, your trial will never expire. You may have to do the same thing for other (non-Visual C#) programs, like Visual Basic express or Visual C express. It has been reported by @IronManMark20 in the comments that simply deleting the registry key works and that Visual Studio does not attempt to re-create the key. I am not sure if I believe this because when I installed VS on a clean windows installation, the key was not created until I ran VS at least once.
But for what it's worth, that may be an option as well. The question is about VS 2008 Express. Microsoft's web page for registering Visual Studio 2008 Express has been dead (404) for some time, so registering it is not possible. Instead, as a workaround, you can temporarily remove the requirement to register VS2008Exp by deleting (or renaming) the registry key: HKEYCURRENTUSER/Software/Microsoft/VCExpress/9.0/Registration To ensure that this is working beforehand, click Help - register product within VS2008. You should see text like 'You have not yet registered your copy of Visual C 2008 Express Edition.
This product will run for 10 more days before you will be required to register it.' Close the application, delete that key, reopen, click help-register product. The text should now say 'You have not yet registered your copy of Visual C 2008 Express Edition. This product will run for 30 more days before you will be required to register it.'
So you have two options - delete that key manually every 30 days, or run it from a batch file that also contains a line like: reg delete HKCU Software Microsoft VCExpress 9.0 Registration /f Edit: User @i486 confirms on testing that this workaround works even after the expiration period has expired Edit2: User @Wyatt8740 has a much more elegant way to prevent the value from reappearing.
