FineBuild can install and configure the Troubleshooting Guide as part of the SQL Server install process. If you do not want to include the Troubleshooting Guide in your FineBuild install, then do not download it.
Troubleshooting Guide is written by Microsoft. It was chosen to be included in FineBuild because it provides Microsoft best practice information on troubleshooting problems with SQL Server.
The Troubleshooting Guide is only available for SQL 2012 and below. There are better resources available on the internet for more recent versions of SQL Server.
