Borland C++ Builder: who sells the next version of such IDE now?

[John Goche]

If you need, there are many third party packages (including free ones)
that allow you to mount an ISO file as a virtual CD-ROM/DVD drive.
Google for "mount iso windows" for some links.

Thank you. I ended up downloading Virtual Cline Drive from:

http://static.slysoft.com/SetupVirtualCloneDrive.exe

And told it to become associated with iso files and then
simply clicked on the downloaded Visual Studio Express
file named:

VS2008ExpressWithSP1ENUX1504728.iso

This caused the following to appear under Computer in Vista:

HD DVD-ROM Drive (I

which I then clicked on and then clicked
on the Setup.hta HTMP Application to install
Visual Studio Express from which I was able
to select the installation of either one of

Visual C# 2008 Express Edition
Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition
Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition

Thank you for your help,

John Goche

The IDE project manager of the Express versions is a simple subset
of the for-money versions. Surely the Express environment is
"crippled" in other ways also.

The IDE is limited. The compiler is not. Its the full C++ compiler.

I, though, was commenting on the statement "The full IDE and whatnot is
there." which is incorrect.

Many people believe that the compiler is limited in some way or
crippled. I just wanted to clarify that it isn't.
