Hi,

Strange behavior.
I have installed VS.NET and MSDN. I have for my VS.NET the MSDN as external
help configured.

All has worked fine until (I think) I changed my user profile on the
computer.
Now when I click a title in MSDN library, the Windows Installer for VS.NET
get started and I must insert the VS.NET DVD to complete the installation.
But this does not solve the problem. The installer starts the next time
again.

But also when I press cancel, the MSDN works fine. I have no idea, what he
tries to install or fix.

Do I need to make new complete installation?

Thanks
Eric

Hello Eric,

Thanks for posting. To track this issue, you can open the application event
log and see what component and feature is triggering the reparation of
MSDN. You may post related application event log entries here.

Alternatively, you may also try removing the current installation of MSDN
and reinstall it with the current user account.

Of course, forgot to look at it. Here's the message:

But why he need this resource? And what is this exactly?
If have Office 2003 installed (Office11).

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your update. As far as the first entry is concerned, the
component "{C763CD13-6E1E-4166-8C78-D274B266E9B6}" has a keypath in
registry. Let's try creating the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\UserData

The type of the key is REG_DWORD. The value is 1.

As far as the second entry is concerned, the component
"{C763CD13-6E1E-4166-8C78-D274B266E9B6}" has a keypath with file
"CookDoc.dll". Let's try the following to fix the second issue:

1. Search for the file "CookDoc.dll" on your system. By default, it should
be in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSDN
2. Open a command line interface (by running "cmd.exe") and issue the
following command:
RegSvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSDN\CookDoc.dll"
Here we need to use the quotation marks to quote the full path towards the
DLL.
3. Normally we should be able to see the prompt like the following. If not,
please let me know the error message.
DllRegisterServer in c:\program files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\MSDN\CookDoc.dll succeeded.

Please give it a try and see whether these help to resolve the issue. If
the problem still persists, you may open the application event log and see
whether we have eliminated one of the 2 causes.
