I have a file called VisualStudio97 SP3.iso, 184MB. Point me to a site where I can upload it and I'll be happy to send you a copy. I've probably created that ISO from an MSDN CD I had at one point.
I remember the problem with the help files. Right-click on an .hlp, select Properties, and see if the Unblock checkmark is there. If it is, select it, click Apply. Or it might have to do with the file being stored remotely...something like that anyway. The other posters in this thread have probably already provided a better answer for that one.

Wouldn't the obvious solution be to downgrade to Windows XP SP0 (base release)?
I have Visual Studio 97 in my archives. Not sure if I have the service packs. I might look, or I can finish this bottle of red wine.

The Internet Archive has the viewer.
Please consider donating if you find the archive useful. They are a valuable resource. 
UPDATE:
Yes, it's an hour or so later. I don't have the service packs archived. I'm sorry.
However I looked over on the Internet Archive and they do have it:
MSDN VisualStudio 97 SP3 December 1997 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Yeah, at this point I insist that someone reading this donate a few bucks. It's keeping 25 year old service packs available. That's really amazing. Even the MSDN subscribers downloads deleted it a few years ago.

We have two cats - a 2.5 year old named Simba and a 4-month old named Koko. Both are with us since kittens, and are used to our place and surroundings. They go out of house and attend their call of nature, and come back and sleep inside the house.
Now, a necessity is felt to relocate to a different house, about 5 km away, in the same city. Will both of our cats acclimatize to the new surroundings? What precautions should we take such that they dont get lost there? We don't want to lose them, or also endanger their lives.
All words of advice are welcome.

Keep them indoors for at least a few weeks/months at the new home.
So they realise this is home now, and they will get fed here, and you will be here.
Females are less likely to travel far.
Males may try and find their old home.
If you can afford it, look into GPS tracking devices? In case they escape... cause they will try.
When I relocated two cats, one Male, one Female, the female was fine, the male disappeared for over a week.
Then one day came back to the new house as if nothing had happened.

Thanks. Both our cats are male, and so we've to be extra cautious in not letting them go away.

In addition to the advice of Storm-blade: you could also tag them with a label with their new address.

My Ma always said that once a cat had washed itself in a new place, it became home. Once in the new home she would put butter on the cat's paws, so it would lick it off, which, apparently, in cat speak, counts as washing. A few years after the war we moved three times, and we never lost a cat.

I'd echo Storm-blade: keep them in for a while.
When you do let them out, have their favorite treat to hand so you can recall them after a short time - give them an excuse to come back to a "safe space" and they can acclimatize to new territory slowly.
They are generally very territorial animals, and don't react well to changes - so you need to help them get confident particularly if there are existing territories around the new house. Expect some fights if there are (which probably won't get too physical, most cat fights are about avoiding conflict by posturing) and some depression if they lose.
While they are indoor-only, remember the golden rules of litter trays: Clean often, and have one more tray than you have cats!
A Feliway diffuser can help to relax them during lockdown!

Elon Muskโs Twitter Teeters on the Edge After Another 1,200 Leave
Mr. Musk sent emails on Friday asking to learn about Twitterโs underlying technology as key infrastructure teams have been decimated.
โAnyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2 p.m. today,โ he wrote in a two-paragraph message, which was viewed by The New York Times. โThanks, Elon.โ
About 30 minutes later, Mr. Musk sent another email saying he wanted to learn about Twitterโs โtech stack,โ
Genius!

The full text of the emails is even better:

Before doing so, please email a bullet point summary of what your code commands have achieved in the past ~6 months, along with up to 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of code.
My code commands? salient lines of code? screenshots? Oh wait, I have a salient line of code:
