SYMPTOMS
Run the setup program and install everything but the samples. Run the setup program again and install only the samples. The NEW-VARS.BAT file is rewritten, but without setting the HELPFILES environment variable, because the Help files were not just installed. As a result, the Help files are not available in Programmer's WorkBench (PWB).



RESOLUTION
Edit the NEW-VARS.BAT and set the HELPFILES environment variable. As an example, if MASM is installed in C:\MASM611, then set HELPFILES to C:\MASM611\HELP\*.HLP.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in MASM versions 6.1 and 6.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
