help file's location

[Disintegration]

Anyone know in visualC++ where to put the help files? I have compiled
help files like VCCORE.CHM from the MSDN but I don't know where in the
directory structure of visualC++ to put them.

thanks

If you want the help to be integrated with Visual Studio, you need to install MSDN. If you just want to view a particular .CHM file, you should be able to double click it to open it in the HTML help viewer if you have the viewer installed (in this case, some links may not work correctly since companion files are missing). If you do not have the HTML help viewer, go to the MSDN web site, search for "hhupd.exe", download it, and run it to install the viewer.

Hope that helps.

Measurement Studio

Nice to obtain this tip. But aas far as I can view it now measurement studio, visual studio 6.0 and msdn do not work together. My help collection file hhcolreg.dat located in the /help directory is messed up. I believe it is caused by measurement studio installation.
After installation I did find:






The actual platsdk.col was removed from my system, which implicates that I can't view my Microsoft Platform SK example help files.

So, please be carefully to backup part of your system
before installing something.
