    Missing Help/F1 Files

    I have just upgraded a program from VB6 to VB.net. In the Upgrade report,
    there are a list of errors with a decription that has a link. This same link is
    imbedded within a new upgrade comment in the code.

    For example,
    'UPGRADE_ISSUE: App property App.Revision was not upgraded. Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSCC/commoner/redir/redirect.htm?keyword="vbup2069"'

    If I click on the link, either in the Upgrade Report or on the imbedded comment, I
    am taken to a new window that displays the following:

    Sorry, no topics were found for the selected link.
    Keywords =
    IndexMoniker =
    Source URL =

    My question has to do with the inability to get any meaningful help on these errors.
    Am I missing something from the original Visual Studio installation? Am I missing
    some kind of help file? How do I correct these errors, if I can't get any useful help
    information?

    I have also noticed that I can't get any F1 help either.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    The use of App.Revision was just one of many errors that I have. The real question is not how to repleace App, but how do I install the correct set of help files so I can find the help data.

    I need the help to solve the upgrade errors, as well as the standard F1 language context help.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    FYI, I completly removed Visual Studio, and re-installed. This time I made sure to include "documentation". I now have everything I thought I was missing.
