I'm running a form that has a help file included.

From the menu I call the following code:

Code:
Help.ShowHelp(Me, Application.StartupPath & IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar & "HelpFiles" & IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar & "My_Help.chm", HelpNavigator.TableOfContents)

This displays the help file when debugging in the IDE (Visual Studio 2005) but when I install the executable file the Help doesn't show.

I've set the help file to copy always.

Any ideas?
 
Silliest of mistakes.

My output folder was named 'Help Files' not 'HelpFiles', simple error of adding a space...
