Sorted it out myself, I have now realised that MSDN doesnt fully install itself for .net, only selected base files.<br />
Basically I copied all the files off the CD and it now works fine.

I have just taken the plunge and put VB.NET on my development machine, while having VB6 available for daily use.<br />
I have installed the latest MSDN helpfiles in a different directory for VB.NET as was told they would not work with VB6. My issue is that the old F1 help system for VB6 has remained in tact (yeah), but when I wish to access MSDN for VB.NET, it asked for the CD. How do I redirect the .NET IDE to look in the new area for helpfiles. The dynamic help works fine, but it is limited and given I trying to learn .NET I need access to the latest info. Any ideas?

Accessing the correct MSDN with dual IDEs (VBNET and VB6)

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
