Which reference source does include Microsoft.VisualBasic?

Microsoft lists a number of reference sources here. The last blog entry lists microsoft.visualbasic.dll first, but I've dowloaded three likely candidates, renamed the downloaded file as an .msi, installed them and none have included the source for Microsoft.VisualBasic.

Before I use up my monthly downloads, does anyone know if any current reference source includes Microsoft.VisualBasic?

(For me the download as you debug scenario now also fails for Microsoft.VisualBasic when it used to work, but I assumed that was just because I was stuck with VS2k8 and they'd "moved forward" as usual. I note the existing Q&A referring to this explains Microsoft is not keeping up with fixes, but for my purposes, any version would do.)

I have not confirmed what is available for download now, but Microsoft have now made the reference source navigable, so e.g. Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll is here:

http://referencesource.microsoft.com/#Microsoft.VisualBasic

I found this site a while ago, with the source code to nearly (if not all) classes in the .NET Framework including comments and everything.

This site might also help, as it shows the classes and namespaces in a pretty easy to read format.
