I am making a Help-form for my application. A Help-form normally has a ListView on the left and a RichTextbox on the right. When you click on a Help topic in the ListView, the text in the RichTextbox is supposed to change accordingly. The text file is part of the application's resources.

I am new to Visual Basic. The only programming I have played with thus far is Perl and some Python in script writing for Paint Shop Pro. (if that is acually programming) I found a tutorial on About.com "from the ground up" with a link to download VB 2010 and when I tried to install the vb_web file I got this error:C:usersuserAppDataLocalTempSit24308reboot.ini cannot be opened. I did a computer search and found this file was not in the Temp folder. The install just hung and I could not cancel or retry. I shut down from task manager. When I looked in add emove there was not a Visual Basic listed. I couldn't tell if there were any other files that were added even though VB is not listed. There seems to be more C++ files (which came installed on my laptop) but I'm not sure if there are more of these C++ files.

I keep going in circles with my searches and always end up back where I started which is at the Visual Basic 2010 Express download page.
