Getting Visual Studio 2005 to use MSDN Library 2008 - Is it possible ?
-
I have Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 installed, along with MSDN Library 2008. However, when I try to get Help from within VS2005, I only get the option to go online for help. Rather than waste space by installing MSDN Library 2005, is there a way to get VS2005 use MSDN Library 2008 ?

I did a similar things for VS 2003 and VS 2005. Dunno if it will work with 2005/2008. What I did was this. 1. Install VS 2003 without MSDN Help. 2. Install VS 2005 with MSDN Help. 3. Set VS 2003 to point to VS 2005 Help. At a casual glance though it seems that the options in VS 2005 have changed such that you cannot redirect the Help content. Perhaps there's a registry hack?
