Hi,

Help viewer 2.0 does not work properly even after fresh install of Visual Studio 2012 Professional - version 11.0.50727.1 RTMRELI have this problem with the update 4 & update 5 versions as well.

I have tr ied everything i can think of and can find online to try and fix this to no avail, I have spent over 24 hours troubleshooting.

I ran into various other problems during install, uninstall, reinstall, most with others online having the same problems, however below is my main problem that I need help with.

The below is taken from the event viewer in my Windows 7 Pro Sp1 PC...
