IE7 Beta 2 Preview & VS 2005 MSHelp2
Hi Friends,
I've downloaded and installed the IE7 Beta 2 Preview (released yesterday) on
a WinXP Professional O/S + SP2 + latest Security Updates test machine with:
- MS VS2005 Team System RTM
- VS SDK 2005
- VS Help Integration Wizard 2005
- MSDN Library 2005
- - as contained on the VS2005 Team System installation CD
- - custom installation method: ALL items installed
IE 7 Beta 1 was manually uninstalled as required by the Beta 2 Preview setup
instructions. Post-install Security readjustments are suggested as prompted
by the IE 7 Beta 2 Preview user interface.
After successfully installing the IE7 Beta 2 Preview, opening VS2005, and
clicking on the Help Contents tab, a Help Update is initiated by VS2005.
After the Help Update is complete:
- F1 Help works properly
- All MSHelp2 Integrated Collections are available in the Help Contents menu
- All selected items render properly in the VS2005 IDE viewer frame.
VS2005 Help Settings on this Test Machine: Tools > Options > Help > Online
- When Loading Help Content: Try Local first, then Online
- Search these Providers: Local Help; MSDN Online; Codezone Community;
Questions
- Codezone Community: All items checked.
So far, so good. Here is the Microsoft download site if you're interested:
