BOL May 2007 shows no index and no table of contents

I downloaded and installed SqlServer2K5_BOL_May2007.msi, and it had no index and no table of contents. The shortcut is
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help 8\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9 /usehelpsettings SQLServerBooksOnline.9.0 /LaunchFKeywordTopic sql9.portal.f1

there are table of contents files:

Directory of C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Books\1033

01/26/2007 11:59 AM 12,949 sql90.hxt
07/27/2006 07:53 AM 271 SQLCC.hxt
11/07/2006 02:16 PM 687 ssm3.hxt

and there are index files too -- the most important one seeming to be :

05/23/2007 12:44 PM 13,630,606 sql90.hxq

I re-executed the .msi and chose repair.
That didn't work to show the index or TC either.

I will try a reboot -- but then I'll have to resintall the previous BOL.

I downloaded and installed it, I was asked about a previous version and choose yes to override it. I am also running Katamai BOL both runs fine. I have no problems, so I think you should delete the download and get a new file for the next install. Hope this helps.|||TOC and index have showed up after a reboot. (Windows XP SP2)
