to get help on/about/in smth

Hi,

Just checked the BBI combinatory dictionary but it says nothing about this structure...

Please help me with this example:

(1) To get help on program installation, do so and so

I guess it is ok

Now, what would you say about:

(2) To get help about program installation, do so and so
(3) To get help in program installation, do so and so

My understanding is that (1) and (2) are fine ... but I am not sure about (3).

Looking forward to your comments!

MUSCOVITE My understanding is that (1) and (2) are fine In my judgment as well, they are fine. MUSCOVITE not sure about (3) Me neither. If I read it somewhere, I'd let it pass, but I wouldn't write it that way myself.
