Visual Studio 97 Help Contents upgrade

Started by

I am using Visual Studio 97 for my DirectX development.

My application Im creating uses DirectX5. Ive implemented DirectX5 by replacing the LIB, H, and INC directx files with the newer versions, in my default vs97 LIB, INC folders.

It seems to work successfully, but my help content still only contains DX3 functions, because VS97 has DX3 built in.

Does anyone know how I can upgrade my VC++ 97 help content from DirectX3 (built in to the VS97 help) to a later DirectX version?
The help files are .ivt/.ivi files.

Do I need to download a patch or something?
Or do I need to refer to the DirectX5/6 SDK reference seperately when I need help/reference?

Can't you just use the SDK help that comes with DirectX SDK? And also, why replace the libs and headers that come with the program? Why not just override them using the project configuration? I agree there is a minor time saving, but I think its worth know exactly where things are coming from..
