Windows Help files on Vista
Windows Vista does not distribute the WinHlp32.exe file required to open
Windows Help files such as the imhlp115.hlp file used in InfoMaker. To use
.hlp files, you need to download a special Vista version of WinHlp32.exe from
the
Microsoft Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=82148.
Compiled HTML Help (.chm) files are supported, but you need to edit the
Windows registry to enable a Help macro that supports links from the
imhlp115.hlp file to the imman115.chm file. If you do not edit the registry, the
“For more information” links at the bottom of many topics in the Windows
Help display an error.
You also need to edit the registry if you need to run Windows Help files at a
remote location on an intranet.
Registry reflection on 64-bit Windows
64-bit versions of Windows use registry reflection to maintain a 32-bit registry
view and a 64-bit registry view. On 64-bit Windows, configuration information
related to 32-bit applications is stored in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432node registry hive.
❖ To enable Windows Help macros and remote access on Vista:
1 Create the following registry key.
On 32-bit Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp
On 64-bit Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432node\Microsoft\
WinHelp
2 Add a new DWORD value with the name AllowProgrammaticMacros and
the value 1.
3 Add a new DWORD value with the name AllowIntranetAccess and the
value 1.
You can also add this support by saving the following lines in Notepad to a file
with the extension .reg and importing it into the registry.
On 32-bit Windows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp]
