Hey,

I don't know if this is the right forum, if not, please feel free to move it...


I am developing a program in VB6 and would like to include a Windows Help file, the same thing that most Windows program offer and usually pops up when you press F1.

Now, I haven't even begun creating the file yet, I have found some examples on the internet so that is not my question.

The problem is that I once read that Windows Vista now uses a different format for these Help files, and the old XP help files no longer work on Vista.
I have not found any more information about this however, I might be searching for the wrong terms?

If this is correct, would this be a serious problem? Does my application need to determine the OS first before opening either the XP help or the Vista help files? Or does Windows do this automatically?

Does anyone have any more info on these matters? Really appreciated!
