>How do I get context-sensitive help with HTML Help in a VFP runtime application? My Context-sensitive help, or even calling the help-file, won't run in my runetime exe without a complete VFP 6.0 installation....
>I’ve made a Help-system for a VFP 6.0-application using HTML Help Workshop 1.2. Including context-specific help works fine, as long as I’m running the compiled executable (and here also run after a Setup) in a full VFP 6.0 environment. Distributing the help-project to a Win95 system, without complete VFP, won’t bring up the Help-project pressing F1 in that same executable (installed with Setup) that works just fine in the full VFP environment. I’ve checked that all the help-install files has been distributed, and well installed in Win95 (Hhctrl.ocx, Itss.dll, Itircl.dll and hh.exe). I’ve also run the hhupd.exe on the Win95-computer. Pressing F1 doesn’t give any error, it just doesn’t call the chm.-project. Opening the –chm-file manually works fine. To solve the problem, I installed VFP 6.0. After that F1 and context-specific help worked as expected.
>Any idea why this happens? Do I need to install any specific Active-X-component under Win95 to get HTML Help working under Win95?

The current setup Wizard will optionally install the required files and registry entries as long as you've requested them to be included in the Setup Wizard distribution. If you aren't using a Setup Wizard created installation disk set, I'd recommend doing that, and including both the VFP runtime and help file components in the disk set.
