I have registed the help from the beta. Now the v2 final is installed in another directory.

Do I need to unregister the beta help? If I don't how does this interact with the release help?

How will help upgrades need to be handled?

I suppose you'd better un-rigester the beta help. Then register the release Help.

I guess you won't need to do anything, as long as you always install the upgrades into the same folder.

Just run unregister.bat. It unregisters the help namespace, then register the help again.

Will this need to be done everytime a new update is issued?

Does vs have to be closed?

Should this be documented in the readme /install section?

Can it be automated as part of the install msi?

If you want to, yes. However the reference manual will hardly change during a version lifetime, as it would otherwise be a break in the interfaces.

To see the updated help, yes.

It's documented in the enclosed readme, how to install it, just run the register bat file. It's not enclosed in the .msi as you might not have vs.net 2005, or you probably don't want to re-register the referencemanual. The thing is, if you unregister and re-register, the whole helpindexes of vs.net have to be rebuild, which for example on my system takes at least 5 minutes. Not something you want to do always.
