A few practical notes that expand on s question and s suggestions:

Expression Web 2 was distributed by Microsoft as a commercial product with a free trial around 2007–2008. If looking for a legal copy today, the best options are to:

  • Check whether an official Microsoft archived download or product page still exists (official channels are safest).
  • Use a licensed copy from an academic program if you have access (DreamSpark/MSDNAA used to provide versions to students).
  • Consider upgrading to a later, still-supported tool or a modern free editor (Visual Studio Code, Brackets, or current Visual Studio Community) which handle contemporary HTML/CSS/JS and have active security updates.

Compatibility and migration tips:

  • Project files from Expression Web 2 can usually be opened in newer editors, but check for deprecated technologies (e.g., old ASP.NET Web Forms, dated CSS practices).
  • If maintaining a legacy site, export static HTML and assets, then progressively refactor CSS and scripts to modern standards. Test in recent browsers and use an HTTP server locally for accurate behavior.
  • Keep security in mind: running decades-old tooling on a connected machine can expose vulnerabilities. Use an isolated VM if you must run legacy installers.

If the goal is simply to edit HTML/CSS now, recommend using a modern code editor and validate using current validators. This avoids licensing and compatibility issues tied to discontinued products.

Not a big fan of google I take it.

Just a wild guess, http://www.microsoft.com/expression/

Also, if you are currently a student in college, you can download a fully licensed copy free from site.
