Cannot Access .NET Class Library Help if Visual Studio Is Not Installed

Primary Software: Measurement Studio>>.NET Support
Primary Software Version: 8.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: Driver Software>>NI-DAQmx, Driver Software>>NI-488.2, Driver Software>>NI-VISA

Problem:
I have installed the .NET Framework support for my National Instruments driver, but cannot locate the help file for the .NET API. How can I find the documentation for the .NET interface for my driver?

Solution:
Measurement Studio .NET class library installers do not create the menu item that launches Measurement Studio help on a machine that does not have Visual Studio .NET installed. The help should be available if the .NET Framework SDK is installed.

Use the following command to launch the help:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://NI.MeasurementStudio

To replicate what the installer is supposed to do, create a shortcut for this command in the Start menu as Start»Programs»National Instruments»Measurement Studio 7.1 for VS .NET 2003»Measurement Studio Documentation.
