>When you install the MSDN Library that comes with VS6, the default path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98. The default install path for MSDN Library updates appears to be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN (no "98", a different directory).

My pick is (3) as well - I uninstall and reinstall fresh each time. I'm typically putting the entire content up on a drive on my network, and then having each station install from the network drive, letting it think it's always working from CD...
