I am sure, VS 2005 express products are a kind of great leap towards a normal developer who just want to develop and learn application as per thier interest. I have got a feedback from some students and fellow developers regarding the download mechanism that these express product installers follows.

Based on cutomer feedback Microsoft also has kept manual setup instrcutions along with downloads...
