HTML help in WinPE

[6face]

Greetings!

I successfully built a PE disk and put my custom application to it. Everything works great except my context sensitive help which will show a topic from my help.chm file does not do anything. I vaguely remember the HTML help system uses the Internet Explorer rendering engine.

My question is, what additional components I need to include in my PE image so that the HTML help facility works.

Many thanks,

Just thinking out loud, did you install HTA support on your PE image?

.Chm native support need Internet explorer or a least a web browser to run from PE using viewchm.

Another way to get .chm support is to use xchm (unix gui to view .chm). To get this one to work you'll need to find either an already compiled version for windows or compile it yourself.

Thank you for the replies.

Albuquerque, I just included HTA support still no success.

Allen2, if I understand it right, most of the HTML components are already installed when HTA support is included in the PE image. So it is only a matter of including some other controls and possibly register them to get HTML help to work?

Yes if you want to get it working with Internet explorer. The alternatives like xchm wich i gave you a link are easier to add as you just need to add a few files.
