How can I download an off-line installation of MSDN documentation of Visual Studio 2010 Express for Win32 and COM development, so that I don't have to download it again while installing on other computers?
The MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 may help.
For Visual Studio 2010, you can also just click on Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010\Visual Studio Tools\Manage Help Settings and then ask it to make help content available offline.
Visual Studio 2012/2013 Help Downloader is a tool for downloading the base Visual Studio MSDN package for offline installation.
Overview
Allows you to download the current published MSDN Library books in a new format for offline installation. Already downloaded book parts skipped for downloading on reuse.

I have a software application called appTranslator that I have used for many years to manage language translations. It comes with a appTranslatorTESetup (Translator Edition) that i give our translators.
Today I supplied the download link to a user and he was not able to install it. The software was compiled in 2007 so I am assuming it was using the Visual C++ Redistributable 2005.
I looked at the official Microsoft page here. I can see:
Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
Visual Studio 2013
Visual Studio 2012
Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Concerning version 2008 it states:
Visual Studio 2008 reached end of support on April 10, 2018. To aid the discovery of the latest downloads, the links are retained currently, but may be removed in the future.
After another search I came up with:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update
Is this considered the latest official available edition?
I can confirm that the link I provided is the latest 2005 redist download.
And when my user installed it they were able to run appTranslatorTE.
It may be worth keeping a copy of these redist downloads for legacy app support.
As of 16-04-2022 the link is valid:

Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel is an assembly in Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime. Check if you have installed them with Visual Studio.
You can install the tools in three occasions:
When you install Visual Studio 2013.
When you install Microsoft Office 2013 or Office 2010.
When you install the Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime redistributable.
MSDN AA MSVS 2010 installation throws an exception (app crash). I'm currently using VS 2010 Express Edition. I tried only mounting the iso image and then run setup on the virtual disk. How can I fix this? I need it only for educational purpose.

I've been trying to get oF examples to compile with Visual Studio, but I'm either missing a link or something.. Is there a tutorial on how to setup oF with Visual Studio 2010 (or 2008 - or any version)? If not, can someone provide step-by-step directions on setting up oF with Visual Studio?
(Unfortunately, the oF website doesn't provide any info on setting up oF with VS. Their VS link just tells you how to download VS o.O http://www.openframeworks.cc/setup/vs-2008 )
There is a short Tutorial how to setup Openframeworks and Visual Studio 2010
in the OpenFrameworks Forum.

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems ok to me. Zach event hosts prebuild libraries for Visual Studio 2010 (poco comes to mind). They are currently working on a 2010 Version by the way.
Edit December 2010: The people at openframeworks released a new version 0.062 which is available for Visual Studio 2010. You can find it here: link text
I've installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition. I am not getting local help/MSDN.
How can I install the MSDN library locally?
Under Help -> Manage Help Settings, there is a wizard that allows you to install local help files. It has options to install from online source or from disk.
