God damn it Microsoft.

I'm sick of everything I try to do involving modding requiring me to use an old version of Visual Studio which I can't get because Microsoft decide to remove all download links to out-dated software.

Any way around this? Any websites with older software, any workarounds, any anything?

I'm trying to install the ModBuddy for Civ 5 (its IDE), but it requires the Visual Studio 2010 Isolated Shell Redistributable which can't be downloaded from the Microsoft link anymore because it doesn't fucking exist.

I can kinda just use the files from the Civ 5 folder, but it sucks because I don't how the files correlate / where half of them are.
