Using HTML Help with Visual FoxPro executables

[FoxDave]

I have used HTML Help Workshop and FronPage to build a compiled help system (.chm) for my application. The system works fine on my development machine (Called either using the F1 key or from a menu option). However, when I place it on a machine which does not have Foxpro the help file cannot be launched from within the FoxPro application. It can however be launched manually from Explorer. I assume that there is ome component which is not on the non FoxPro machine which HTML help needs for Foxpro to launch it. Any ideas what it may be.

Thanks

Hi FoxDave

I am just copying the VFP-Help topic on this distribution which is self explanatory...

"In addition to the .chm file you create for your HTML Help system, you can use a free-distributable setup program, Hhupd.exe, which will install and register the HTML Help runtime components listed below. Internet Explorer or the Internet Explorer runtime engine must be installed on your users' machines.

Component Name Description
Hhctrl.ocx HTML Help ActiveX control
Itss.dll Dynamic link library that handles compiled HTML
Itircl.dll Full-text search Dynamic link library
Hh.exe HTML Help viewer

You will find this setup program in the Redist folder in the folder where HTML Help Workshop has been installed. This setup program can be called from other setup programs, and can be made to run in 'quiet' mode so that it does not interfere with the setup program you may have already created. For a complete list of command line options, run Hhupd.exe/?. "
