Title:
Help with HTML Help
Problem: HTML Help file will not open on enduser's machine
Background: I created a help file in HTML Help Workshop that was included with Visual Studio 6.0. I set the help path to this help file in my main program to my application. On my machine the help file opens fine and goes right to the topic ID that I specify.
I have made sure to check the HTML Help Engine box on the Application Components step of the Setup Wizard. I have also added the hhupd.exe file from the HTML Help Workshop redist folder, as directed in FoxPro help, as a post setup exectuable to install and register the HTML Help runtime components.
On the enduser machine hhupd.exe runs during the setup without errors. My application also runs without errors. After the help path is set and I call the help file there is no error but the help file does not open. To baffle me further, if I double click on my compiled help file in Windows Explorer, it opens up and works fine on the enduser's machine.
Here's the code that I use:
set help to help\helpfile.chm
help
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Justin
