Need a free trial site

Post by cutforfun » Mon Dec 06, 2004 4:18 pm

Guys i have read all of the sites you list + searched for them, dont waist your time flaming cause ive done my research, and "thewardens" guide shows to a good site, but for some reason the "download" part of the site is not comming up on my browser, (is that because i run Mozilla instead of internet explorer?)
Anyway i just need a site that i can download Visual studio's or any other cimpiler that is compatible with Macro Quest 2.

Danka!

There is only one such site and that is Microsoft's. It does not work and we cant make it work. If you want to compile MQ2, you need .NET or VS V6. If you are too fucking cheap to spend a few bucks on a Microsoft Windows compiler, you should not be using MQ2.

Before you go off and say you cant afford .NET... check out eBay. They have many academic copies of .NET for about $35.

Hmm, actually I think it's way past time for me to move to .net myself and I didn't know ebay had cheap copies. Thanks Joe

... I already answered why it doesn't work too well anymore in my thread. It is because MS sucks. I have no control over their servers. Sometimes they work, most of the time they don't.

Take the time to look on the net on a way to get VS Net or VS6. If you look hard enough you can get a copy for free(I will not answer questions on how to get it for free, where to get it for free, and that topic should NOT be talked about anywhere on these boards).
