If you have now configured Visual Studio to use the help on your computer rather than help on the web, following these steps should make the Visual COBOL documentation available from Visual Studio:
- Click Help > View Help.
Microsoft Help Viewer 2.0 is displayed. - Click the Manage Content tab above the right pane.
- In the Installation source group, make sure that Disk is selected, then click the "..." button.
- Navigate to the help folder for Visual COBOL. By default this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2012\help.
- Select helpcontentsetup.msha and click Open.
- Click the Add option that is displayed on the same line as "Visual COBOL 2.2".
- Add should change to Cancel, and the Status column should now show Add (pending).
- Click the Update button.
- If a UAC dialog box asks if you want the help program to be able to make changes to your computer, click Yes.
- Click Yes on the dialog box asking if you trust the source of the certificate.
The Visual COBOL documentation should install. When it is installed, click its entry in the Table of Contents to view it.
Thanks
