As usual the VHD download is broken into chunks, 17 downloads for the VHD and two for the labs and docx.

If I can find the "want-to" I'll update this post with the direct download URLs later. In the past I've done it manually, viewing source for the three downloads, cutting, searching and replacing,. wash, rinse, repeat, to get down to the final URLs. That's gotten old (and is kind of lame done more than once). So now, if I find the want-to I'm going to code something up to do this. Shouldn't really be hard, just need that want-to (and some more coffee). :P

Got some coffee and found the "want-to" :)

Using these downloads you might run into a drive space issue. Check out this post for more information, Optional update to the May 2011 Visual Studio VM's. If you're giving the VM more than 2 GB of RAM or need to put more stuff on the image, check this out...

Here's the direct download URL's for all three VHDs. Paste these into your downloader of choice...

Here's the magic, i.e. how I parsed the download pages to come up with the above URLs. I KNOW there's a better way, but this works and was quick and easy...

Here's the Dev-rific UI;

The code behind is very simple;

Public Class MSDownloadParserForm

Private Sub ParseButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ParseButton.Click
Dim mds As New MicrosoftDownloadParser
Me.ResultsTextBox.Text = mds.Parse(Me.URLTextBox.Text)
End Sub
End Class

The primary magic is via the awesome HTMLAgilityPack

Imports System.Text

Public Class MicrosoftDownloadParser
Public Function Parse(Url As String) As String
Dim htmWeb As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb

Dim htmDoc As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument = htmWeb.Load(Url)

Dim links As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNodeCollection = htmDoc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a[@class='download-btn']")

Dim ls = New StringBuilder

For Each link As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode In links
Dim directdownload = Uri.UnescapeDataString(link.OuterHtml.Substring(link.OuterHtml.IndexOf("u=") + 2, link.OuterHtml.IndexOf(" onclick=") - link.OuterHtml.IndexOf("u=") - 3))

ls.AppendLine(directdownload)

Next

Return ls.ToString

End Function
End Class
