Installing latest Version of MSDN to VS Enterprise Edition Trouble!
-
Hi, i'm trying to install the newest MSDN CD's to a computer that has Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise Edition - which has it's own MSDN cd's in MSDN Subscription, and when i update it, and hit F1, it doesnt open up the newest MSDN, it opens up the old one!!! How do I fix it? I even tried to uninstall VSEE and reinstall it, and then install msdn when it asked for it, but it's looking for the Cd's that came with the subscription! I am screwed. How can I "unscrew" myself? I tried looking through the registry a little bit... any ideas? ~Timothy T. Rymer http://tim.xpertz.com http://www.digipen.edu http://www.ttrx.com

There is an option in the configuration of Visual Studio. I'm not at my home PC at the moment so I can't tell you exactly where the option is but it's under either Configuration or Options in VC++ [probably the same in VB etc].. then there is a sectiopn to set the active help location. :-D
Now taking suggestionsfor a new sig. please email me all suggestions.

It seems like it'll work, but i had reinstalled VS Enterprise Edition w/o MSDN, so i just installed the msdn 6.0a that comes with the subscription, but i had already installed Jan 2002, so i'm uninstalling that, and reinstalling it now... but that doesnt work. It doesnt show up in the list to choose which version of MSDN that i would like to use... Hmm... suuuuuuper strange. ~Timothy T. Rymer http://tim.xpertz.com http://www.digipen.edu http://www.ttrx.com

But i'm gonna do some more searching in the registry... i think all i searched for before was "MSDN" so i'm gonna look through "VS" and "Visual Studio" searches... *SIGH* ~Timothy T. Rymer http://tim.xpertz.com http://www.digipen.edu http://www.ttrx.com

and to no avail... I cant even see what executable the shortcut is calling to try and do some funky hack job in the registry! and just so you know i've installed msdn onto my computer from our dev server, so when i run anything from MSDN (samples, etc) it accesses the file from the server, but i still dont know what the executable is... i believe the old one is just using "hh.exe" and then the path of the collection (*.col) right after.. but 2002 has a bit of a change (file types, etc) and i cannot find the executable... any suggestions are invaluable, but i'm moving on, i'm not fooling with it unless you guys have a suggestion... *sigh* i'm gonna try to contact microsoft, i checked their site, there was some things that were close, but not good enough, (mostly bugs in installing msdn w/ DVD) thanks guy(s?) for your help, i appreciate it immensely!! ~Timothy T.

Are you trying to install Jan 2002 MSDN with Version 6 of Visual Studio? If so they aren't compatible. MSDN Jan 2002 only works with Visual Studio.NET. The last version of MSDN to work with VS6 was October 2001. Michael :-) Communication is the first step towards enlightenment.

Cool, well at least that all makes sense now! Thanks Michael! ~Timothy T. Rymer http://tim.xpertz.com http://www.digipen.edu http://www.ttrx.com
