After installing the Visual C# Learning Edition software, get a copy of Microsoft's Visual Studio Professional Demonstration DVD. Microsoft hands these things out like cookies at events, so you shouldn't have any problem finding one (I've got four at this point). Replace the VC# folder on your hard drive with the one from the DVD (they are both down a few folders). Turn off the Read-Only property of all the newly copied files and you now have a much fuller version of C#, including all the Project Wizards you'd get in the Professional version. These are neccesary for completing many of the examples in the included book, so don't feel too guilty.

The legality of this solution beyond the 60 days you are legally allowed to license the Demo software is a bit hazy, obviously, so you're on your own after that. However, this solution will at least allow you to actually USE the book Microsoft sold you.

By way of a review (other than the above problem): the book is actually pretty good for beginners, and is a nice way to ease into the world of managed code. And even with the omissions discussed above, the software is quite good considering the price paid. The Visual Studio .NET environment is by far the nicest IDE I"ve ever used. I only give this product three stars because I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that the bundled software will be compatible with the book, and it was very frustrating that such wasn't the case (at least until I discovered the fix above).
