Hi Everyone,

I am a beginner in .NET. I just install VB.NET 2008 expression
today. I noticed that the installment process install VC++ run time
library first.

I know this won't affect my studying of VB.NET at all. I just wanna
know more about .NET framework I hope you can shed me some light

Just a guess - the C++ runtime is probably used by the IDE (devenv).
