vs 2008 express: registration

Did any one have luck recently register Visual studio 2008 express C# product? Look like, I would have to reformat my computer and install every thing all over again. I un-installed it and installed VS2008 express again but it will not start because it demands registration. When I click the register button, the website launches and hour glass spins forever. It appears that MS Express edition registration site may not be working.

Please help..

If you delete the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/VCExpress/9.0/Registration you will no longer be asked to register.

Open regedit, navigate using above folder, then remove the entire 'Registration' folder.

You are probably using google chrome as your registration browser... Try using IE and you should be able to do it. (you can paste the URL and it works)

You can do an offline install from this link. You can simply mount the ISO with a virtual CD program instead of burning one: http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/offline.aspx
