Integration of MSDN Library with Visual Studio 2005

I have installed two versions of MSDN Library, and still my VS2005 doesn't recognise any local help at all.

Because of some legacy code I need to keep VS2002, VS2003 and VS2005 on my system.

My VS2005 is Team Edition for Software Developers. My installed versions of MSDN Library are Octover 2005 DVD for VS2003, and 8.0.50727.137.

Thank you.

    Could you elaborate What do you mean by "doesn't recognise" Do you mean when you press F1 while editing code you don't get any help

    Do you mean when you press F1 while editing code you don't get any help

    Or the "Dynamic Help" doesn't work

    I had loads of trouble as well. The "regular" MSDN library doesn't work with VS2005, it needs "MSDN library for Visual Studio 2005". Make sure you install that one last. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=247826&SiteID=1
