=== Updating CHM ===
|
||||
|
||||
cd help
|
||||
"C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop\hhc" AppleWin.hhp
|
||||
|
||||
To view:
|
||||
|
||||
start AppleWin.chm
|
||||
|
||||
The batch file "update.bat" will both compile and view the CHM.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Installing Microsoft Help Workshop ===
|
||||
|
||||
The official site is here...
|
||||
|
||||
* https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/htmlhelp/microsoft-html-help-downloads
|
||||
|
||||
... but in typical MS fashion it is outdated -- it has two broken links since the Help Workshop is not on "Microsoft Download Center."
|
||||
|
||||
i.e.
|
||||
|
||||
* https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/A/9/0A939EF6-E31C-430F-A3DF-DFAE7960D564/htmlhelp.exe
|
||||
* https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/a/9/0a939ef6-e31c-430f-a3df-dfae7960d564/htmlhelpj.exe

|
||||
|
||||
Installing it is straight-forward but you'll get a misleading pop-up dialog near the end:
|
||||
|
||||
"This computer has a newer version of HTML Help."
|
||||
|
||||
This refers to the help VIEWER (which is already installed) and NOT the help COMPILER which was just installed.
|
||||
|
||||
