Access MSDN Library in VS2005

I installed Beta2 Standard and the April MSDN Library a few days ago.  I am unable to access the library from within VS, I only have the local help.

Did I do something wrong

Access MSDN Library in VS2005

    On the VS 2005 beta 2 DVD is: "[DVD drive letter]:\msdn\setup.exe"
    Execute that after uninstalling your existing MSDN installation and everything will be ok.  Took me forever to realize the thing was there.

    The regular MSDN help (April or otherwise) is designed to work with the release versions of VS.NET (2002 and 2003), not with VS 2005 Beta2. You can configure help in VS 2005 Beta 2 via Tools... Options... Environment... Help... Online. You can also search for VS 2005 Beta 2 related help at http://msdn2.microsoft.com. If you're looking for information on the System.Transactions namespace, go to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/System.Transactions. If you're looking for information on the System.Web.UI.Page, go to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/System.Web.UI.Page.
