I installed VS 2003 first then I installed VS 2005.

I was hoping to use the latest MSDN Library for the help systems, so I did
not install help initially on either.  Later because I needed to do some
work, I installed help for 2005.

How do I install help for 2003 or do I have uninstall the help for 2005
first?

Thanks

It's been a while since I had both 2003 and 2005 on the same machine, but
IIRC, the helps are installed in two different locations and do not update
of interact with each other, So you should be able to install the 2003 help
(from the VS 2003 MSDN CD's) without having to uninstall anything from VS
2005.

The Jan 2006 MSDN lib was the last version which integrated with VS 2003.
It happily exists with the VS 2005 MSDN docs as per:

"This January 2006 release is your final edition of the MSDN Library based
on Visual Studio 2003, and the final Library that will include Visual Studio
2003 documentation. Starting with the April 2006 release, the MSDN Library
will move to the Visual Studio 2005 platform and will no longer include
Visual Studio 2003 documentation."
