[Vista] Do you have the updated SP1 Help files?

Published in the MSKB: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 stand-alone packages do not contain the updated Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Help files (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937286)

"You can determine whether the "Update for Help Files" package has been installed on computer for a specific language version. To do this, examine the following directory: %SYSTEMROOT%\Help\Windows\[region code]
The "Update for Help Files" packages for specific languages include the language or region code in the file name. For example, the update package file name for the English-US version of 32-bit Windows Vista is windows6.0-kb937286-x86-en-us.msu. In this file name, "en-us" is the language or region code. The following is a typical path of the Help file directory: C:\Windows\Help\Windows\EN-USNote This example uses the English-US region.

If all the files in the directory have a modification date of November 2, 2006, the Help file update package has not been installed for that language or region. If 90% of the files in the directory have a modification date of January 18, 2008, the Help file update package has been installed for that language or region."
