DOCUMENT:Q148321 23-JUL-2001 [visualc] TITLE :Standard Edition Missing Help Entries for Win32SDK PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler PROD/VER::4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbfile kbother kbGrpDSTools ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual C++, version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= This patch fixes a problem where the Win32 API functions cannot be found in the index tab or through F1-activated help in the Visual C++ help engine. NOTE: The Visual C++ Professional version does NOT exhibit the problem described in this article. The keyword file was corrected in later shipments of the Visual C++ Standard Edition, version 4.0. Visual C++ Standard Edition may display a dialog box containing the error message Keyword not found when you use F1 to access help on any Windows SDK API function. The function also will not appear in the index dialog box displayed by choosing Help, then Search in the Visual C++ Developer Studio. However, similarly named MFC equivalents of SDK functions WILL appear in the index and when using F1. The documentation for these missing entries can still be found using full-text search, which is available from the Query Tab brought up by the same Help, Search menu selection. If you do not know if this patch applies to your copy of Visual C++ Standard Edition, check the size of the .KWD files in your Msdevstd\Help directory. If Vcbks40.kwd has a size of 685,135 bytes, this patch applies to you. The Vcbks40.kwd keyword index file had missing entries for the Win32 SDK. A new index file containing the correct number of keywords is available. Download the file as described in the MORE INFORMATION section. MORE INFORMATION ================ To obtain the new keyword file, download the file Vc40std1.exe, put it in a temporary directory, and run the executable. The Readme.txt file included in Vc40std1.exe explains what to do.
