Depending upon the speed of your Internet connection, the file should be saved on your system within a
few minutes.
Installing C# Express
After the download completes, click the executable file that was supplied (the file was named
vcssetup.exe when I installed it, but it could change). You should see a screen similar to that shown in
Figure 1 - 2 , the C# Express Edition installation screen.

Selecting the Installation Options
Click the Next button to proceed to the next phase of the installation. In short order you will see a screen
similar to the one in Figure 1 - 3 , showing Visual C# Expression Edition installation options. This screen
presents a number of installation options from which to pick. Unless you have some disk space
limitations, I suggest that you install all the components in the list. Note that the file sizes mentioned are
compressed file sizes. When those files are expanded, their disk space footprint is substantially larger.
(Figure 1 - 3 suggests that a little over 76MB is the download file size. However, just before you press the
Install button you can see the actual download file size compared to the expanded file size. When I
installed C# Express, I was informed that the download file size was 135MB and the expanded disk
storage requirement was 1.2GB.)
