Hi Asim09,

Please try to follow the bolg to set the offline help in Visual Studio 2010: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlight_sdk/archive/2010/06/13/getting-offline-help-for-silverlight-and-many-other-technologies-for-vs2010.aspx

And a third part project can help us to download/view the help: http://vshelpdownloader.codeplex.com/

Meanwhile, MSDN has a specific forum for discussing it: Developer Documentation and Help System forum, it is probably your best resource on this.

Sincerely,

Does not work like I said on the top post I can't download without that error and Your MSDN "Developer Documentation and Help System " link does not work either.

Answer 3

Developer Documentation and Help System Forum 

Try that one. 

Does "on-line" help content work properly for you?

"I want to download tutorials and refrences from MSDN libary but can't seem to I tried to do it though Visual Studio (Went to manage help settings>install content from online). "

That is not how you install tutorials.  Most of the tutorials that I have downloaded from the MSDN library have their own installers.  Many are self-extracting ZIP files.
