dman Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Ootsoo,woof woof!I have visual studio 6 Enterprise edition, so if you have standard or pro edition it might be different.When I install visual studio, after I install programs it asks if I want to install MSDN. Also if I re-run "setup" from the cd-rom it detects that visual studio is already installed and gives me Add/Remove options.... one of these options is Install MSDN Library.I don't think you need to uninstall anything, just let MSDN reinstall over top of old, but launched from Visual studio setup.So try just putting in Visual Studio CD and running setup.exe, it should give you option to install MSDN.dman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
