Hi,
I just bought the Visual Site Designer. It installed fine and without problems. However, the help function (either by left-clicking it or using F1) doesnt work. I have checked that the pdf help file is installed and present, which it is. I can, of course make a shortcut from my desktop to the help file, but it would be more convenient to access it directly from within the software.

Any help with this question?

Hi Niels
After installing the program, by chance did a restart of your computer help?

Bruzer,
No, restarting the computer didn't help.

All you need to really do is re-install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat and it will reset your registry settings. This should fix the problem for you.

Well that stinks. ;) You will then just have to manually launch it from the C:\Program Files\CoffeeCup Software\Visual Site Designer folder.
