SYMPTOMS
You cannot configure Help collections by using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Combined Help Collection Manager. When this problem occurs, you receive script errors when you try to open the &quot;ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/dv_vsexpcc/local/CollectionManager.htm&quot; page in Microsoft Document Explorer.

Note This problem occurs if you use the German version of Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition.
