download windows API reference (MSDN) for offline use
提问by Gauthier
I would like to have a windows API reference document available offline. MSDN is fine, but I also need this kind of information when I don't have access to internet.
我想要一个可离线使用的 Windows API 参考文档。MSDN 很好，但是当我无法访问互联网时，我也需要此类信息。
pdf, chm, help (for emacs) would be fine.
pdf, chm, help (for emacs) 就可以了。
Surely I am not the first person to want that, but I can't find anything. Could someone please point to a place to find that?
我当然不是第一个想要那个的人，但我找不到任何东西。有人可以指出一个可以找到那个的地方吗？
I saw the reference was maybe available in the SDK, but installing it takes ~200 MB, and I only want the documentation.
我看到参考资料可能在 SDK 中可用，但安装它需要大约 200 MB，我只想要文档。

Just the Win32 API, but it's a thing of beauty: Win32.chm
只是 Win32 API，但它很漂亮：Win32.chm
Although it is now 17 years old, the Win32.hlp file from Microsoft is still a useful reference for those, like me, still programming using the "flat" Windows API. It still covers 99% of what I need and is much more convenient and faster to use than the current MSDN and Windows SDK documentation because it is much smaller. It is a file that is possible to add to the help menu of your IDE or favorite editor and call up instantly, even offline.
尽管它现在已有 17 年的历史，但来自 Microsoft 的 Win32.hlp 文件对于像我这样仍在使用“平面”Windows API 进行编程的人来说仍然是一个有用的参考。它仍然涵盖了我需要的 99%，并且比当前的 MSDN 和 Windows SDK 文档更方便、更快速地使用，因为它更小。该文件可以添加到您的 IDE 或喜爱的编辑器的帮助菜单中，并且可以立即调用，甚至可以离线调用。

In Visual Studio, "Help > Manage Help Settings" you can download the contents to disk. Then you can press F1 to view them.
在 Visual Studio 中，“帮助 > 管理帮助设置”可以将内容下载到磁盘。然后你可以按F1查看它们。
This feature is even available in Visual Studio Express. You can start the help server manually at %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Help Viewer\v1.0
此功能甚至在 Visual Studio Express 中可用。您可以在以下位置手动启动帮助服务器%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Help Viewer\v1.0
Installing the Windows SDK and the .NET 4 help contents took ~700MB for me. There's probably no way around it.
安装 Windows SDK 和 .NET 4 帮助内容对我来说大约需要 700MB。恐怕没有办法了。
(Windows SDKs used to contain the documentation but it seems like they've stripped it out in v7.1)
（Windows SDK 曾经包含文档，但似乎在 v7.1 中已将其删除）
You can even do a search offline in the Help, though from my experience the relevant rate is worse than Google.
您甚至可以在帮助中进行离线搜索，但根据我的经验，相关率比谷歌差。
Edit: The "Microsoft Help System" is also available in the SDK so you don't need to install Visual Studio to use it
编辑：SDK 中也提供了“Microsoft 帮助系统”，因此您无需安装 Visual Studio 即可使用它
