Alright so I formatted my drive and installed Windows 10, I wanted to install Visual Basic 2010 Express back but I could not find a link, been on google for awhile, even the old links don't work anymore!? Does anybody have the original executable file? Also no I do not want Visual Studio 2015, 2012, just 2010 Express please!

Thanks in advance.

Theres no longer any support for Visual Basic 2010 or 2008 or whichever one you like. Unless you're working back with VB6, you might as well be on the latest framework and ide. Visual Studio 2015 has it's fair share of woes but 2013 is just fine for just about everything. Absolutely no reason not to be on one of the later visual studios (why would you want to limit your self to having a compiler for VB and not C# anyways?)

The main reason is the newer versions are really bulky, meaning like 6gb+ and are just overall really laggy for me. VS 2010 was like 80mb and didn't have any slow-downs.

I agree but lots of open source programs are done on newer versions of Visual Studio and really it makes everything a lot easier for noobs compiling from sources. At least VS2013 or above.

You can still get it through this link:

Although, it is the ISO file for it.

Dude it's 2015, why use a IDE which is 5 years old now?

If you would have read the thread, newer IDE's are too slow and bulky, possibly because he's on older hardware, not all of us have the leisure of a Haswell Core i7 and 8GB of RAM ;)

Why not using Visual Studio Community 2015 ?
It isnt slow, dont install all features of it to get a leightweight IDE. Just pick C#
