Visual Studio Context Sensitive Help (F1) not linking to MSDN

Author	Message
Gar #1 / 3	Visual Studio Context Sensitive Help (F1) not linking to MSDN Context Sensitive Help (F1) was not working for me in Visual Studio. Here's the info for how I fixed it: F1 link between Visual Studio and MSDN: Both must be installed while logged on as the same user that will use them, NOT the administrator. If either is installed using a different userid, the F1 linkage does not work. This is probably due to a registry setting during the installs.

That should fix any linkage problems. -- Michael Dunn (Microsoft MVP) is a TAPI Developer and Tester TAPI web page: http://members.home.net/tapifaq/tapi.htm TAPI discussions belong in the newsgroup, and not in private email.

That should fix any linkage problems. "Tools, Options, Help System Tab" didn't work. That's when I found the install solution.
