Apparently, starting with Windows 7, Visual Basic .Net comes pre-installed with Windows.
To use it, you can make a batch file that points to it:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\vbc %*
If you only have 32-bit Windows, then you might need to use:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\vbc %*
Not sure why VB.Net doesn't get much love - I really like it! For simple Console quick and dirty programs, it is great!
