Extend and Clarify some of the Help Comments Please

Hi
Your F1 help is very extensive but:

1. Some of the "help" comments are not very helpful and could do with extending. An example is a question I have posted elsewhere here. Here is another example:

Register prerequisite with Visual Studio
Registers the prerequisite with Visual Studio. Registered prerequisites can be selected when creating "Setup and Deployment" projects.

We need an explanation of the implications of Registering or not Registering. If you go through the help section there are many cases where the help really adds nothing.

2. It would also be useful to indicate whether the decision is important and some guidance if in doubt eg "This is not vital and if in doubt do not tick the box"

As I am sure you appreciate, I am trying to be helpful here, not critical for the sake of it! I hope one day that people will be equally critical and helpful with my application when it eventually gets launched ...
Regards
Bob

Re: Extend and Clarify some of the Help Comments Please

Hi Bob,

Thank you very much for taking the time to recommend this improvements, we really appreciate it.

I've added on the list and improvement for the options mentioned. Regarding the vital/non-vital warning, we try to do this for very important settings,
but I guess we should enforce this standard and use it for a larger set of features from the application.

Best regards,
Bogdan
