Can anybody tell me the site from which I can download Visual Studio 2008? Because Visual Studio 2010 is now able to be purchased I can't find Studio 2008.
You can download the Express (free) version of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 from here.(requires Visual Studio 2008 that a trial can be downloaded here!
Links updated
Microsoft doesn't seem to want you do use VS2008 anymore. Here are some currently valid links (for express), though.
web installers:
VB express 2008:

I am looking for the Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools. Are they still available somewhere?
I can find the 2015 and 2019 versions. The 2017 version seems impossible to find.
Due to toolchain limitations, I unfortunately cannot use the 2019 version to install MSVC141.
From here (guide for installing VS buildtools in a Docker container), I found that you can download:
2017: https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vs_buildtools.exe
2019: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vs_buildtools.exe
2022: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_buildtools.exe
It is not clear how Microsoft decided not to make VS2017 Build Tool installer an obvious option for you to download, but maintainers on Chocolatey have packed up every recent releases, so you can download and install from there.
Alternatively, the chocolatey install script contains a link to Microsoft servers where the VS 2017 Build Tools Installer is still available.
You can find Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 here.
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads
To download any product from the following list, click the download button and log in with your Visual Studio Subscription account when prompted. If you don’t have a Visual Studio Subscription, you can create one for free by clicking on “Create a new Microsoft account” on the login page.
To track it down I had to go to https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads/Featured and search for "build tools" or "build tools 2017". Looks like you'd have to register and sign in to the site to get to the build tools downloads.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE:

Where can I download the offline install for visual studio 2015 express?
On the official website im only able to find the web installation.
For security reasons, the computers in my company do not have internet access. I would like to find the ISO installation or some offline installation.
Obs. I can not use the community version for legal reasons.
first you have to download vs2015 express web version (wdexpress_full_ENU.exe : 209 kb)
then run following command in your command prompt:
wdexpress_full_ENU.exe /layout
final downloaded folder size is about 9.16 GB
EDIT: Visual Studio 2017 express changed offline installation
EDIT: Visual Studio 2019 community :
vs_community.exe --layout C:\vs2019 --lang en-US
Get it here, its on the same page the web instaler is:
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615448&clcid=0x409
Note there is no express version of VS 2015, they renamed it to "Community"

I just started at a new company and on my computer I have:
VS 2003
VS 2005
VS 2008
VS 2010
VS 2012
VS 2013
We do have old apps we support but the plan is to upgrade them as we need to make changes to them.I should be able to open any app in VS 2013 correct? Whether its C# or VB
Do I need all these versions?
If no .NET 1.1 stuffs, you can remove VS 2003.
If no compact framework, VS 2008 is not needed.
VS 2013 does provide all the rest generally speaking.
Exceptions do exist, such as
VS 2013 does not support many old frameworks such as MVC 1/2
VS 2013 doesn't support old versions of Silverlight.
The answer is clearly No to the part of your question about opening any app in VS2013. Microsoft have removed support for some project types over the years, so you can not open "any app" in VS2013

I use VisualStudio 2010 and olso have Visual C# 2010 Express installed on my computer.
And I have to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, but during the instillation warning appears --
"A previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on
this computer. Upgrade Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to the SP1... "
When I tried to upgrade VS 2008 it said "There is no VS 2008 on your computer". =)
How can I solve this problem with intent using VS 2010?
At Your Own Risk
I think you need make some changes in the registry please follow these steps
1. Type regedit in run
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv
3. Find the VS or vs folder rename it to vs_1
Hopefully it will work. This what i did once.
The version numbers are different, but this appears to be your scenario:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956139
My initial advice would be "treat your MSSQL 2008 install as a fresh install". I would still suggest "Try the 'fresh install', and see how far you get."
Microsoft's advice, however, is "uninstall the version that came with MSVS first".
Do whatever you think is best.
I'd definitely take a backup first ;)

Is there any way to get a trial or free version of Visual Studio, either Visual Studio 2008 or a previous version?
If so, where can I find it?
You can get Visual Studio Express for free - http://www.microsoft.com/express/
On the Visual Studio homepage, on the left, is a link:
2 . Get Visual Studio : Visual Studio 2008 Trial Version
Which gives you a 90 day trial edition of Visual Studio Professional.
Or a trial version of Team Suite is available here.
Obviously these links may change when VS2010 is released.
