Hello

Im hafe a smal problemm with the help of tc7 on vista (Final Version vrom MSDN), but im not shure ad is the rigth topic for the bug / request /.. also im not shure if i are the first how reortet the problem. And accualli ist not a bug of TC Smile

but im think MS wil not change tere vista Smile

When i open the help (f1) in TC7.0pb2 i receve following message:

"Why can't I get Help from this program?

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows and it is not supported in Windows Vista.

For more information, see Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows on the Microsoft support website."

Sorry for my bad english & and thanks for the notice of the bug

Kind Regards Konrad

Unfortunately, Vista does not support 32-bit HLP (but still supports 16-bit HLP, though in general the support for 16-bit programs is dropped! An incredibly wise idea! Evil or Very Mad

). So, you either need 16-bit HLP file (original TC help is 16-bit, BTW, so it should work), or use CHM file instead.

That's strange, I'm explicitly calling the old winhelp.exe on Vista, which has been present even when winhlp32.exe has been removed. I haven't tried with Vista final yet, though, I'm waiting for the MSDN DVD to arrive...

Strange, but it seems that MS did not include winhelp.exe into Vista x64 (at least, I could not find it), but it present (and working) in Vista x86.
Tested both final versions under VMware.

Ah, I see - that's sad. I'm waiting with the move to HTML help until the author of HelpScribble updates it to work better with IE7/Vista.

Has anyone written a help file for the AP Help system in Vista? Any opinions?

Some links:

Would be nice to move to HTML Help because currently you cannot search on a help page with Ctrl+F.

Alt+Space and C is just as fast IMO.
