Integrating help docs with VS2005

We have a Help system that integrates nicely with VS2003. I now want to make sure that our VS2005 customers will get the docs integrated, too. I want to make sure we cover the following scenarios:

1. User has VS2003, docs integrate as expected.
2. User has VS2005, I want the docs to integrate. What do I need to do
3. User has VS2003, installs docs, then upgrades later to VS2005. We wan the docs carry over to new help system without the using having to reinstall.
4. User has both VS2003 and VS2005 (is this even possible ). Will the docs integrate into both versions side-by-side

Thanks!

Does anyone have new information on this

Thanks.

I am also looking for information about integrating documentation with the Visual Studio 2005 Combined help Collection.

If you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

We are still working on solidifying our plans for integrating help content in VS2005 and at this point we can't provide a final answer on this. We will be ironing it out over the next month.

Most likely, the answer to your scenario #3 will be no. #4 will most likely be possible.

Thanks and sorry for the current vagueness!
