Where I can download compiler for C# 4.0 without Visual Studio 2010?

Question

I know for CTP VS 2010 Images, but can I download only .NET Framework 4.0 and C# compiler?

Answer 1

AFAIK, the VS 2010 CTP is only available as a VM image. I do not believe Microsoft released an installer for VS. One is definitely not available for a standalone CLR/SDK.

Answer 2

Not at this time. Guessing maybe when the Betas start shipping.

Answer 3

The .Net 4.0 redistributable is not available yet.

Answer 4

Funny, I'm trying to extract it from the VHD as we speak.

Answer 5

As stated it's not available without the VHD. The reason for this is (I'm guessing) because:

1) MS want you to go through the pre-installed tutorials on the VHD to give design feedback.

2) MS doesn't want to have to do the extra work needed to get the installer working on all supported OSs.
