    Unable to display help

    Re-installed Windows 10, have been able to get all my software up and running, with the exception of VB6 help. I installed MSDN from my original discs but it didn't go as I expected. My memory from 7 years ago my be defective, or the CD's may be defective. As I recall after disc 1 ran it would direct me to insert disc 2, then disc 3, this time all I got "Installation complete". I saw the thread from 2017 with the same title, even downloaded the 3 .iso files but don't know how to use them

    Any help (no pun intended) will be appreciated.

    I have the same, but then on W11.
    MSDN installed correctly, even uninstalled and reinstalled, but the unable to show help.
    When I double click the main help it’s showed correctly, but not from the IDE

    There was a note about registering Vshelp.dll, but I don't know how to do that.

    Got it registered!

    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS98\vshelp.dll"

    Verify the path on your system.
