The VS2005 express editions are free. I don't believe there is a free trial edition apart from that.

If you downloaded a .img file, you need to either burn it to a CD or DVD, or you need to get a program that will mount it as a drive. Any Microsoft page that offers a .img file for download will have links to their program that does this, VCdControlTool.
