Merging Visual Studio & SDK Help

Hi all,

I recently installed windows workflow foundation and then realized
that I could no longer see .NET framework documentation in my MSDN
help. I installed the SDK hoping that it would merge back in.
However, I now have two separate help collections, one with the
framework classes etc... the other with all other documentation.

Is there anyway to merge these two collections together? Is there any
type of utility that will allow me to easily see what help is
installed and manage it in some form or fashion?

Thanks,
Cole

Hello scolem***@gmail.com,

It's not the merged collection, it's 2 separate helps - MSDN and Windows
SDK help

Try deinstalling them in the order you installed them. Then install the SDK
BEFORE installing the WF/WPF/WCF extensions.
