I am also a VB6 user and have the same question. I have tried accessing the VB 2008 Express, including the vbsetup.exe link posted. However, everything I try comes back with "No longer Available" or a similar message. Obviously, I need more explicit instructions.
Well, I just tried downloading the "free" download suggested by Microsoft. Turns out that this is for business use only. So, back to square one. Basically, sc . . . the little guy.
There is no easy 'upgrade' from VB6 to VB.net. If you need to migrate it is usually best to rewrite the application.
