I've installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition. I am not getting local help/MSDN.
How can I install the MSDN library locally?
Under Help -> Manage Help Settings, there is a wizard that allows you to install local help files. It has options to install from online source or from disk.

I recently installed Visual Studio 2010 Pro. There might have been a link to install the offline help at the end of the install, but I missed it. Now I can't find a way to install the help. How can I accomplish this?
