Same bug on my system. Same Version of visual studio and Mysql

This is not a documentation bug. The MySQL documentation team doesn't package Connector/NET.

This is not a documentation bug. The MySQL documentation team doesn't package Connector/NET.

Confirmed as a historical packaging defect.

Connector/NET 6.7.4 installed HelpContentSetup.msha from ConnectorNET.msha, but installed its referenced content file as MySql.Data.mshc even though the source content file was ConnectorNET.mshc. The manifest therefore referenced a file name absent from the installation directory.

The legacy Visual Studio Help Library / CHM documentation packaging was removed from Connector/NET in 2017. Current releases use DocFX documentation and no longer ship .msha or .mshc help-content files.

The issue cannot affect supported current releases.
