The code is in IronPython\Runtime\Types\DocBuilder.cs. The specific
code which translates to an XML file is in "XPathDocument
GetXPathDocument(Assembly asm)".
In theory, we could say "if the file is not found and the pathname
contains 'Framework64', then substitute 'Framework' for 'Framework64'
and try again."
However, this makes a lot of assumptions about things that are not
actually guaranteed by the framework -- and in particular, are not
likely to be the same under Mono.
Well, an *extra* lookup in the wrong place in Mono doesn't seem like it
would do any harm - and the current behaviour is basically broken for
x64 Vista users. Less broken sounds better to me. ;-)

The XML documentation files under the

copy the files from the one location to the other -- or even
create hard links or symbolic links under Vista using "mklink".
Where is the code that looks for these XML files? Could it be made
to look in the correct place?
I'm not looking for a short term workaround but thinking of
IronPython users on 64 bit systems (plus I'm not sure if it is too
late to document the workaround in my book... :-)

Hello guys,
Using help on methods of .NET types on 32 bit Vista prints
useful
information. e.g. for help(Stack.Push)
help(Stack.Push)
Help on method-descriptor Push
| Push(...)
| Push(self, object obj)
|
| Inserts an object at the top of the
| System.Collections.Stack.
|
| obj: The System.Object to push onto the
| System.Collections.Stack. The value can be null.
On Vista x64 it prints:
help(Stack.Push)
Help on method_descriptor:
Push(...)
Push(self, object obj)
