Author Problem accessing MSDN Library for VB 6.0

Since loading vb6, I have been unable to get to the MSDN files on my
computer, nor from the library CD's. It is looking in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033\. The files are there, but I
get the error 'The local disk does not contain the files for "MSDN VS 6.0
Local" as expected. Please update the location.' I have tried uninstalling
and reinstalling as well as browsing the CDs. Suggestions please

Phil,

Have you tried completely uninstalling VB6 and the MSDN library and then
reinstalling both?
I seem to recall that sometimes a bad install of VB6 could cause this sort
of problem with the MSDN Library, even if you uninstall and reinstall just
the Library itself.
