Hi Dave,

As far as I remember, the latest MSDN that integrates with VS6 is MSDN
October 2001. All later editions integrate with VS .NET, but not with VS6.

I get the same with MSVS.Net. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling
MSDN 6 times (each took almost 1 hour) and still no luck. I now have the
latest MSDN 2004 and this has a check box (during installation) that allows
it to integrate with the VS IDE. This finally worked.

Ramses,

As far as I remember, all MSDN .NET installations I set up did have this
checkbox (or even two checkboxes, one for VS 2002 and one for VS 2003)
It's really strange you didn't see them prior to the latest MSDN release.
Probably the installation couldn't find any instance of VS .NET on your
computer?
