VS 2003 Help is messed up

[MrPolite]

aah ! what is going on. I installed the MSDN 2003 help (from the vs2003 dvd). MANY of the items in the help just show as "empty index" while the same items arent empty in 2002's help. The pages look quite ugly too. what the heck is going on?:confused:

Are you sure the DVD was complete, and you did a full installation?

You can try this : Go to add\remove window , click MSDN Library , click Change , choose repair . I don't know if this would fix it but at least it's worth a try .:D

Then , I formatted my HD , and installed VS.NET 2003 + MSDN 2003 , and working great now . Why don't install new XP with VS.NET 2002 (without MSDN 2002) + MSDN 2003 .
