INFO: A Reason to Install MSDN Library When Installing Visual Studio Products
This article was previously published under Q273611
You need to install the current version of the MSDN Library when installing any of the Visual Studio Product family because the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Library contains the Help and Reference files for Visual Studio 6.0 products. Without these files installed there is no Help system available in the Visual Studio 6.0 products.
Microsoft recommends that you always use the most recent version of these files to maintain current methods and correct use of code.
The Microsoft Developer Network Library - Visual Studio 6.0a edition is included in the Visual Studio 6.0 products and the Quarterly updates are available from the MSDN page on the following Microsoft Web site:
Other products refer to the supporting documentation or Help files as Books Online or References. The Visual Studio 6.0 product Help files are contained in the Microsoft Developer Network Library files.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
