Hi,
I'm trying to install Microsoft Help Viewer through the Visual Studio 2022 installer, but I don't actually find the option under Individual Components -> Code Tools to install it. Here there is a screenshot.

I'm using a Parallels VM on a M2 Macbook, if somehow Help Viewer is not available on some architectures, and I have installed Windows 11 23H2. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio Professional and repair it. Can you help me?Screenshot 2024-03-21 alle 21.45.33

    Hello @Christian Leone,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Some features are currently still not supported in Visual Studio 2022 ARM version.

    I notice that you are using M2 Macbook, probably the Help Viewer is not supported in Visual Studio 2022 ARM version.

    Here’s a suggestion ticket: Support Help Viewer on ARM64, which is under review. I recommend you vote and follow up that thread for any latest information.

    Thank you for your understanding, have a great day.

    Sincerely,

    Tianyu
