How do I get F1 in VS2008SP1 to use W7RTM's SDK for Win32 info instead of MSDN Library?

[Stephane Barizien]

Scenario is simple:

- I have VS2008SP1 and "MSDN Library for VS2008SP1" installed
- so currently F1 gets me the "MSDN Library for VS2008SP1" version of the
Win32 API docs, which does NOT contain W7-specific information
- I have install W7RTM's SDK, and I can find W7-current Win32 API
information *there*
- but I'm craving for "integration"... F1 would get me the W7 docs, not the
Vista SP1 docs...

Any clue?

Hi,

In some ways it would be wrong to integrate the two, because VS2008SP1
probably does not use the W7 SDK for IDE development unless you update
all the paths, and do we know if all W7 features are supported by the
VS2008SP1 IDE? Isn't it also the case that the VS2008SP1 help covers
more than just the SDK?

Not supported as far as I know. You gave the right answer Gerry

yes I'm doing that (using all headers / libs / binaries from the W7 SDK if I
know I'm targetting W7)

IDE? There's no "compatibility of the IDE with a target OS" that I know of.
It's a matter of using the right headers / libs / binaries...

What did you have in mind?

Indeed, but what I'm dreaming of is a help collection where only the SDK
parts would be updated.

Maybe I just need to wait for MS to release a new "MSDN Library" update?
