We’ve heard from you that popular hotfixes should be a public download rather than requiring a call to support. 

Based your feedback, we’ve launched a pilot program that will allow you to download the most frequently requested Visual Basic 2005 hotfixes without having to contact Microsoft Developer Support.  For more information about this pilot and a list of hotfixes that are available for download please visit the pilot home page.

The following Visual Basic 2005 hotfixes are available for download:

Registration is required for download. 

Let us know what you think of the program and the current list of fixes available.  Your comments and feedback will help us shape this program.

Thanks,

Chris Mayo
