Both VS2003 and VS2005 on same machine but no documentation in VS2

visual studio .net documentation: I got a new laptop and installed VS2003, then VS2005, then the most recent
MSDN. The MSDN only integrated itself into VS2005; I have no document in
VS2003. How do I get it in 2003? Do I need to load an older version of MSDN?

This is untested -- just my instinct. There's this Help subkey in the registry, right?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Help
Try exporting it to a file, editing the 8.0 to 7.1, then import it back into the registry. My
instinct says that now both IDE's should know how to link to the MSDN library.
