Simply go to the Microsoft Visual Studio website and download the software. It will automatically install SQL server 2005 as well.
This is a very common question.
You do not need IIS to develop and debug (step through the code) asp net web sites or web services in net 2.0 (vs2005). When you develop such an app in vs2005 (or express) the site is hosted on a local development server which is installed with vs2005. it works just as it was deployed on a huge windows server with iis 6 or iis 7. However, you vannot host you web app outside your PC. The dev web server does not answer to http traffic on port 80. FOr working across systems you need to host it on IIS. Also, if you use older asp pages (from 10 years ago) you need iis to host and debug.
And yes, install IIS and all windows updates before installing the net 2.0 sdk and/or vs2005. In fact, the vs2005 install will install the necessary items for IIS when it installs.
The new microsoft web platform installer (http://www.microsoft.com/web/ ) makes all this much easier if you don’t want to figure out what to install in what order.
have fun.
