MSDN

[chris6user]

After installing VB6 and MSDN I can't run help through VB.
Selecting help gives me an error "the msdn collection does not exist". I know it's a bag, any one knows how to fix it?

Thanks

Insert a studio disk. There should be an option to install other files. You should come across a dialog that has MSDN listed. Select it and follow the instructions (Point it to the same place you installed it before and it will go fast).

Good Luck

No matter how many time I reinstall MSDN it will not work throug VB

Do not insert the MSDN disk, Insert the VB disk

Is this a regular quarterly CD? If so what date is the MSDN Library in the title bar? It must be October 2000 or earlier to be used by VB6 help.

Quarterly CD's after Oct 2000 are only integrated with .Net help AFAIK.

I think paulbent may be right. (Sorry did not think of it)

Jan 2000 is earlier than Oct 2000 so it should be OK from that point of view. Sorry, but I don't know what the problem is.
