Hi there.. I'm trying to build xbmc for windows and I'm having a lot of trouble getting Visual Studio 2010 Express. I'm wondering if there are any tricks to getting it. So far I have been going here:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/
..and getting real frustrated because my download speed dwindles and then dies around 20Mb in. This happens whether I use the web installers or try the offline .iso installer.
Otherwise my internet connection is working fine, so I am wondering if there is something wrong with Microsoft's servers. Can anyone give me any tips?
Alternatively, is there a place where I can get a build of the current development trunk? I ask because the MySQL schema creation is not working properly in the current stable windows build but it is in the development linux build. The current stable windows build is not compatible with the schema however so I am hoping if I can just build the dev version in windows I will be able to use it.
Thanks for any assistance!
EDIT: Ok I just found the nightly builds page I will try that tonight, but I would still be interested in knowing if anyone else is able to get VS2010 express. THanks!
