How to get VB to use MSDN?

| I got a new computer. I've installed my (legal) copy of VB6 and copied
over my source code files, etc. The installation on the old computer
has the Oct 2001 version of MSDN on it. I don't have the original CD
for that any more so I simply copied the entire MSDN folder over to
the new computer. Now, how do I tell VB to use it? Right now, if I
click on help in VB, it tells me to install MSDN.
Thanks.

| An installation of software, nowadays, is beyond just copying the
applications folder (at least for anything released by MS). You have
dependencies in the Windows sub folders and registry entries.
You can try these to see if it helps:
