Visual C++ Help System

[CyberCarsten]

I can't seem to get my help system to work...when I Press F1 in Visual C++ 6, it says 'The MSDN Collection does not exist. Please re-install MSDN'.
I tried this under the main setup, but the files wheren't on the cd....what is wrong????

Isn't MSDN on a seperate CD?

I don't know, I only got one....Can I download the MSDN from somewhere???

MSDN comes on 2 seperate CDs, at least it does with the version of VS6 I have. Perhaps you can download it at http://msdn.microsoft.com/.

I have looked there, it's a big place, and I can't find anything there...:)

Use their searching page to find a topic you are looking for.

MSDN is quite large. I believe it's over a gigabyte. Unless you're okay with looking at the files online, you might want to consider ordering the CD's from Microsoft.

Do you know how much they cost???
