I installed the VS 2010 RC. Everything is fine; however, the install Help button is very unresponsive. I had to click it couple of time, and it did not give me any feedback even after waiting for minutes. Then finally I had to press FINISH button to come out. I looked in the task manager, but there was no clue if the help was being installed. Then after about five minutes the first dialog box for help installation popped up from nowhere. This really needs to be fixed, at least there should be a pop up that help installation dialog box will appear in (say) five minutes.

Also just installed the VS 2010 RC. The install help button for me paused a short while then continued. I only clicked it once then closed the main installer.
After a short while the help installer came up and allowed me to select libraries I wanted locally. I clicked through the dialog to finish the installer.
After launching VS I tried pressing F1 which was very fast, even on the first load. I selected online help which now launches directly into my web browser (which is awesome).
