HTML Help Files

I have used a .CHM html help file with my application. I was wondering if
it is recommended to ship the associated files:

hh.exe
itircl.dll
itss.dll
hhctrl.ocx

Should this just be included in a setup package for Windows 95? From what I
have read, I think these files are shipped with Windows 98 and up. The OCX
is not referenced through the components but I do have one
declare statement to invoke the HTML Help call:

Private Declare Function HtmlHelp Lib "hhctrl.ocx " ...

I think by referncing the OCX this way the version of hhctrl should not
matter. Does anyone know if I am correct?

Thanks
Mike

I wouldn't recomend it. The versions are different between me, nt, xp...
In addition, if it is commercial, you may have issues with MS requirements
on redistributable .

It would be better to include links to the official MS sites for those users
missing the files.

Mike,
I have used a .CHM html help file with my application. I was wondering
if it is recommended to ship the associated files [hh.exe, itircl.dll,
itss.dll, hhctrl.ocx].

I have read, I think these files are shipped with Windows 98 and up.


This is correct. Of the 32-bit versions of Windows, the only ones that
don't ship with the four HTML Help runtime components are Windows 95
and Windows NT4. In both cases you can install the components using
hhupd.exe (http://tinyurl.com/gle), as described in Rob Chandler's
document "Deploying HTML Help"
(http://www.workwrite.com/helpthink/deploy_chandler.htm).

It's worth noting that neither Windows 95 nor NT4 shipped with a
version of Internet Explorer that is sufficient up-to-date for use
with HTML Help (http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/hh_info.htm#BoxedWindows),
and that it may also be necessary to install DCOM95 on some Windows 95
machines (http://www.mvps.org/htmlhelpcenter/h...hhsysreq.html).

Hi all, I'm having a bizarre problem converting XML files to HTML using an XSLT. The problem is only occuring in my Netscape 7.0 browser. What makes it more bizarre is that it is only happening when I put my XML files and the .xsl files on my ISP's system for my home page. If I try to open the XML files in Netscape 7.0 on my own machine (ie, not on the ISP's system), the pages convert file and the result is displayed in HTML.

I was never inclined to do so (I am no computer expert), and when upon his suggestion I looked how my pages (converted to...

Hi All! First of all I would like to say that VS.NET is one of the finest IDE I've used in years. It really helps me code quickly.

So I really want to make the VS.NET IDE the primary development tool for me. However, when it comes to developing ASP.NET websites, I...
