Hello,

I'm trying to get some documents registered with Visual Studio but I'm not 
having much luck.  I've 
got a heirarchy of namespaces to register, and then the last one actually 
contains the help files. 
I'm currently just trying to see if I can register the first namespace.  I have 
the following WiX code:

<Component Id="sce.HxC" Guid="*">
<File Name="sce.HxC">
<vs:HelpCollection Id="SCEHelpCollection" Description="My first namespace 
description" Name="My 
first namespace">
   <vs:PlugCollectionInto TableOfContents="sce.HxT" 
TargetCollection="MS.VSIPCC.v90" 
TargetFeature="Docs" />
</vs:HelpCollection>
</File>
</Component>
<Component Id="sce.HxT" Guid="*">
<File Name="sce.HxT" />
</Component>

Is there anything hugely wrong with this?  I think I'm having trouble with the 
vs:plugcollectioni...@targettableofcontents value.  It's not required, but the 
2 examples of this I 
can find use it, but with strange values (like "FL_vsipcc_hxt_86880________") 
and I'm not sure where 
they come from.  Is it needed for the top namespace?  Is it possible that 
without any actual help 
files registered, the namespace isn't showing up in Visual Studio Help?

I've seen references to adding merge modules, but these are from newsgroup 
posts that are bit old, 
and WiX doesn't complain about them not being there.  I'm just using "-ext 
WixVSExtension" on the 
command lines to candle and light.

Would a log file be of any use to anyone?  I don't really understand this VS 
help file registration 
stuff so it was no help when I tried to look through one myself.

I know the help files are OK because the current in-house method is to register 
them with h2reg, and 
that's fine.

Thanks,
Rob
