May I know how to check the current installed version of MSDN Library?

On your start menu "Microsoft Developer Network" item, the version is there. Something like "MSDN Library - January 2006"...

At the top of the start page, the version is also print there.

And also, the URL link start with something like "ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2006JAN.1033/..." The yyyyMMM is the release time.


No. The only link available is "Start" -> "Microsoft Developer Network" -> "MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2005"

The URL in the main page of MSDN Library is "ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/dnmsdn2/html/msdnstart.htm"

If I install a newer version of the library, do I need to uninstall the previous one?

Thanks in advance.

You can install it on top of the previous version, no need to uninstall.


Oh really? So, it will add to the help collection for new and updated items only or it will duplicate the library for existing items? I'm concern with full installtion that uses much hard disk space.

Thanks in advance.
