After installing a software (Enterprise Library 4.0) which extends VisualStudio's help collection with its own items, the help is completely broken. The index is empty, all the standard help collection are missing (like those refering to System.Data and other System namespaces).

Does anybody know how I could fix it? I don't want to reinstall the whole VS, because it is very long operation and the result is dubious.

I've seen some kind of command line utility which merges the help collection, bud I cannot remember what it exactly was.

Please help, it is urgent. I need to read manuals.

Did you try reinstalling the MSDN library only? Not VS.

Finally, I did. It helps. It is strange. Thanks.
