You have to unblock it first (right click in Explorer).

Downloads are always blocked by Windows, so it won't show the embedded HTML.

Hi Intaris,

right-click the CHM to see it's file properties. Then Windows will warn you about "file downloaded from internet" and you need to set it as "safe file"…

The CHM is also included in Paul's ZIP files!

Well whaddya know. That worked.

It asked me when I opened the chm file, I said OK, but it still didn't show. Once I unblocked it, it works fine. At the risk of outing myself as completely ignorant (once again) - since when does this Properties -> "unblock" stuff exist?

Hi Intaris,

since Vista atleast…

[wiebe@CARYA]

IIRC, This also happens when you download dlls. Nasty, as LabVIEW error messages won't guide you to the problem...

How on earth did I use windows in the last X years and NOT come across this even once before?

Sheesh.

Anyway, thanks guys. Learned something today.

There were some missing dependencies in the source zip.  I also renamed a library to make name collisions less likely.

[paul_cardinale]

Is anyone else running into bugs?  This one is driving me nuts:  If the owning VI is a member of a library, and the library is open, then the event handler usually doesn't launch.

[paul_cardinale]

Here's another one: If the owning VI is set to run when opened, it will start running before the Y Control finishes initializing.  (I might have to do some major surgery to resolve this.)

Quite a few changes: Cleanup, bug fixes, and kludges to workaround a bug in LV 2018 and earlier (but the installer is smart enough not to include the kludges when installed with LV 2019 +).

If you've made any Y Controls with the prev version, you'll need to remake them.
