VB.net 2003 online help

I've just bought the VB.net2003 deluxe learning edition,
whicn includes vb.net2003 standard and the step by step
book.

I'm please with my choice of language and the book is
great, but there doesn't appear to be ANY online help
installed whatsoever, and i can't find any on the 3 cd's
that were in the package (vb.net standard, vs.net
prerequisites, vb.net step by step).

The only way I can see of getting any kind of searchable
help file is to pay another £200 for an MSDN
subscription, which seems crazy. The software and book
cost £90, and I just find it hard to believe that a
LEARNING edition wouldn't contain any helpfiles.

I'm hoping that someone can tell me it's all my fault and
that i've missed something...

Sorry, i thought i'd searched the newsgroups thoroughly,
but have just found the vsnet.documentation thread, so
will post this there.
