Have you asked around to see if someone can give or sell you their old installation media for it? I probably used to have a copy at my old job I'd have just sent you, but its long gone now.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I did but not extensively. Since I do not develop any new functionality but only do "fixes", I have been ok with using VS 2012. Thanks for your suggestions.

All of the above.

Microsoft promotes SharePoint heavily. I did some serious development in it with InfoPath. Unfortunately, InfoPath is gone. Have not heard anything about the future of SharePoint.

Just joking.
SharePoint is a good platform but InfoPath left a lot to be desired, namely since it stored all attachments in the form there was a limit to the number/size of attachments that could be stored.
Another problem came if you changed the form, all prior saved forms needed to be saved with the new prototype form.
Additionally all workflows started with the previous forms were broken. It was never something to be used in production.
You say it is gone now. Good riddance.

Micro$oft realized InfoPath was broken and had to terminate them.
It is interesting that they pulled the plug on InfoPath before they had a replacement in place. Let's see what they come up with next.

Just finally reading my email for last week...
I'm just curious about this thread: Why are complaining about classic ASP after it had been replaced by ASP.NET twelve years ago?
Still, it's still available for use. In fact, it should be available for the next eight years, as its current lifetime is based on the tenth anniversary of Windows 8.

I was not complaining but just stating the difficulty of maintaining it. asp.net is a nice replacement but Microsoft did not provide a way to upgrade asp to asp.net. Basically it is "discontinued".

Actually, in the Page directive for a Web Form page, you can set the AspCompat attribute to true. This provides support for VB6 components within a Web Form. Essentially, you could add a Page directive to an ASP page with AspCompat set to true and your classic ASP runs through the ASP.NET engine once you change the file extension from .asp to .aspx.
Granted, this doesn't help in switching over to ASP.NET, but it's a starting point for moving a classic ASP site to ASP.NET.
Regardless, classic ASP has not been "discontinued". It is still a viable solution in its own right, at least for the next eight years.
Now, if we're talking about discontinued platforms, let's talk about FoxPro....

Was watching the France game last night.....Does anyone know when they added the Red and Blue bits to their flag?

I think it was only adopted as the national flag in 1789, wasn't it? It was the flag of the revolutionary movement before that, but that doesn't make it the national flag – for example look at Libya, the new flag was being flown from rebel strongholds for some months but it wasn't adopted as the national flag until they took power.

La Fayette borrowed them from the US Flag when he went back to France in 1781

We may joke but:
Following the overthrow of Napoleon III, voters elected a royalist majority to the National Assembly of the new Third Republic. This parliament then offered the throne to the Bourbon pretender, Henri, comte de Chambord. However, he insisted that he would accept the throne only on the condition that the tricolour be replaced by the white flag. As the tricolour had become a cherished national symbol, this demand proved impossible to accommodate. Plans to restore the monarchy were adjourned and ultimately dropped, and France has remained a republic, with the tricolour flag, ever since

Like the 30 thousand dead and captured at Dunkerque holding up the Germans while the British ran away you mean?

No. I think he meant like the French army surrendering without warning leaving the British army surrounded at Dunkirk along with a few Frenchmen who didn't get the memo.
[Edit: Actually it was the Belgians that surrendered first. The French didn't surrender until a few days later while the evacuation was still ongoing.]

That didn't happen. GO back and check your facts.
