VS2005 May 2004 CTP Help Problem and Fix

Matevz Gacnik's Weblog

"If you already downloaded or installed a Teched 2004 San Diego version of Visual Studio 2005 CTP you must have found out that the help system does not work.

What you get is a "Downloading..." progress bar and nothing is shown.

To fix it, do this:

Open c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\help whidbey\dexplore.exe.config

It should work now."
