How can I install the MSDN help library

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Any suggestions on installing MSDN library help file?

I am currently using visual c++ version 6.0.

I don't know where the MSDN file is located. Thus, I couldn't use the help
function in visual c++. Can it be downloaded from internet?


Thanks for reply n suggestion.

Yes you can definitely download it. Pay the MSDN fee and feel free

the package you installed VC++ from should have included the MSDN disks,
about 3 of them.

The last version of MSDN that supported VC++ 6.0 was the Oct 2001 release;
try to find a friend who has that if you can, it's a 3-disk set.

MSDN is a subscription service, and can be very expensive. There used to
be a coupon in the VC++ package that entitled you to a 1 year basic
subscription for just a few dollars, it bought you updates of the 3-disk
MSDN Reference package only. [Full subscriptions ship something like 50
disks to you every few months, w/ pretty much everything MS offers on
them].

Since you want just the old Oct 2001 release I'd guess that wouldn't cost
much. Check here:

or Google around. It is old, I wouldn't be surprised if you found ISO's of
the CDs floating around somewhere....
