Well if it was just your dns server they might have tried to set your dns server to their dns server allowing you to download the help file...
That would be very nice off Microsoft...

Yeah... It would be great... but lets get real... M$ ain't going to do it.


First of all... don't look at the help.... it will not help you... don't call them... the person you will get will not speak English.

Just want to say... way to go Microsoft.

Yarr it's the same with Visual Studio 2005's MSDN. The problem I have is that atm online they're migrating from VS8.0 to VS9.0 help files and I'm getting quite a lot of 404's.

But does the help explorer think to check for a local copy? Noooo...

you're supposed to be migrating from an older version or something like 7z.
