Hi --
I've registered with the free VSIP membership and downloaded the package
extensibility kit, but I still have a beta Visual Studio on my machine and
the installation aborts without unpacking anything. I won't be installing a
Release Visual Studio for another week or two, but was wondering if there was
some way in the meantime I could get started on the documentation. Is there
a way to extract the documentation only without having to install the whole
package? Or is the documentation available separately at some other location?
I suspect that with what I am trying to do (have my debugged application
write to windows in the IDE, I might have more success with a package than
with an add-in (where i can't seem to get around thread contention issues, at
least not on a consistent basis).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I think that you can´t get the docs without installing the whole SDK, since
it is MSHelp 2 format that requires help registration in the viewer and so
on (it is not a single old .chm file).
If you have a couple of weeks before installing the final release, you can
start reading the blogs of the VSIP / SDK members, they are on my web site,
section "for add-in developers".
