    Same problem here. I was looking through the downloads trying to get some starter kits to test for my web site, and the download link goes to never-never land.

     Interestingly.. If you goto http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2005/aa718342.aspx and try to download ANY starter kit, under the “Visual Web Developer Starter Kits” title, you would get the not found page...

    Please tell us where to download the kit, it must be available somewhere else, or give us an idea how much longer it will be unavailable.  I've been hawking the site all day, I *need* that template, I'm going to cry then hold my breath until I turn blue.....

    I'm working with Microsoft on these issues.  Unfortunately those are all links external to our site, so we have no control over them.  But hopefully we'll be able to get new/better/working links soon.

    I really appreciate y'all interceding, I see this is a problem for most/all the MS starter kits.  I don't suppose someone on the forum has it stored somewhere and (if it's not illegal) could link/post/send it?  It really rankles that if I'd run across it a day earlier I could have had it.

     BTW, you don't suppose it has anything to do with VWD Express going to 2008?

     Thanks again.

    I believe it's because they are relocating where the kits will be (getting a new home)...that's all.

    Whew!  Well, that's a relief.  I was getting worried my learning curve was going to become a knuckleball, have to wait for the versions to stop rolling to be able to pick it up.

     Thanks again.

    No problem - just thought I would help out until the new Microsoft download location is up and running.

    We've now updated the Small Business Starter Kit page with a new and improved Download link.  The broken links for the other Starter Kit pages have been updated as well.
