.hlp files on Win 7 (Read 148 times)

deburr Senior Member Posts: 413 Gender:	.hlp files on Win 7 02/19/10 at 12:52:57 Having a problem displaying help file on windows 7. I went to the MS site and downloaded the add-on for the legacy hlp files but either can't install it or it just doesn't work. Anybody have a solution?

In Evo you can click Help - Web Help or manually go to http://www.evoerp.com/webhelp/evohelp.htm but that doesn't work with the F1 from within the programs. I just downloaded the Microsoft update for Windows 7 help files and it works if I am loading Evo on a local station and the HLP file is on the local drive, but not across the network as far as I can tell.

Install winhelp32.exe from Microsoft. at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=166421

the enter the following registry entries.:
Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp]
"AllowProgrammaticMacros" =dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp]
"AllowIntranetAccess" =dword:00000001

(Copy the code to a .reg file and run from CMD as regedit {filename}.reg)

This will allow help to work by pressing F1 on Windows 7 with EVO and DBA. the file can stay on the server.
