'''Microsoft Help Viewer''' (HV) is the offline help system (local help) developed by [[Microsoft]] that ships with [[Microsoft Visual Studio|Visual Studio 2010]] and its associated [[MSDN Library]].
 
Microsoft Help Viewer 1.x supersedes [[Microsoft Help 2]] which is the help system used by [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] 2002/2003/2005/2008 and [[Office 2007]]. It is shipped with VS 2010. Microsoft Help Viewer 2.x is backwards-compatible with 1.x and is shipped with the operating system as well as VS 2012+.
 
This is a new product and does not use any of the old help 2 code base. During development it was referred to as '''MS Help 3.x'''. With the growing need for a general Unicode based help system, it has the potential of becoming the next general help system for Windows.
