Use the web-based installation of the Windows Platform SDK and install only the documentation, this is the easiest way to get MSDN offline for free.

cd,

If your problem is you can't open .hlp files, the solution is here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6EBCFAD9-D3F5-4365-8070-334CD175D4BB&displaylang=en).

If you are using the Win32API.hlp file, it's really outdated and Stefan's suggestion is the way to go.
