  • HowToInstallVisualBasicExpress

    v1 v2  
    1 Visual Basic Express is the development environment that we use to program EwE.  This is required if you want to program or look into the source code of EwE. 
    2 Note: you only need Visual Basic Express to develop on EwE.  Visual Studio (not free) enable you to have more functionality such as Class Diagrams and Nested Project Structure which is not crucial to EwE development. 
     1Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Basic Express 2010 are the development environments that we use to program EwE. Either one is required if you want to compile the source code of EwE. 
     2Visual Basic Express 2010 is available for download for free from the Microsoft website (see link below). Visual Studio 2010 is not free, and enables you to have more functionality such as Class Diagrams and Nested Project folders, which are features that are not crucial for developing EwE.
