SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install the October, 1999, or January, 2000, version of Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), you may receive the following error message:

Setup has detected that a required html Help system component (Hhsetup.dll) is missing from your computer. Click Cancel to exit Setup.

If you click OK, Setup continues but the MSDN Library may not function properly.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Hhsetup.dll files is not installed with Windows Millennium Edition (Me).

RESOLUTION

WORKAROUND

As a workaround, you can copy the Hhsetup.dll file to the C:\Windows\System folder from the following folder on your April, 2000, MSDN CD-ROM, and then install the October, 1999, or January, 2000, version of MSDN

CD-ROM drive:\X86\Setup
