Microsoft document explorer

Question

_{Saturday, September 25, 2010 8:22 AM}

I been looking and checking threw my PC's setup and I can't find out where and if Microsoft document explorer is installed at or if it's installed. I tried to look for it in the Microsoft Download section and didn't find a thing. Can any one tell me where this is install at, or where I can download it at.

From what I been reading its the only thing that will open the HelpStudio Lite Help Files called *.hsx

My idea was to use a process control to load these files into Microsoft document explorer so they can be viewed. The ____ they are talking about I just don't under stand.

Thanks

Joe

Hello Joe - Microsoft Document Explorer only gets installed with our earlier Visual Studio 2002-2008 developer products and some SDKs. HelpStudio Lite is specifically intended for supporting Visual Studio add-ins. Can you confirm that you have a Visual Studio product installed? When Visual Studio 2008 is installed, you should also see "Microsoft Document Explorer 2008" in Programs and Features or (Add/Remove Programs if you're running XP).

How do you launch it? Can't find it in Programs.
