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
- Change supportedRuntime's and requiredRuntime's element attribute version from “v2.0.40507“ to “v2.0.40426”.
- Final text should read <supportedRuntime version=“v2.0.40426“ safemode=“true“ />
It should work now.
