That's right. the Express Editions of Visual Studio -- and perhaps the .NET 2.0 SDK as well -- install .hxs files, but no .chm files. I converted all the ones I found. By the way, if anyone successfully downloads the CHM archive I just posted, please confirm that it unarchived successfully for you -- including the contained zip archives. Anyone is free to repost this or any other documentation collection I have prepared -- the purpose is nonvisual access to information.

What SDK should we get?Maybe I didn't understand correctly, but I understand that Jamal convertedthe MSDN of VS.net into .chm and .txt format...
