    What file to distribute with HTML help file

    My app use help file (.chm) created by RoboHelp.


    On my develop machine, pressing F1 display help OK.

    However, on new machine where I installed my app, app fail everytime I pressed F1.

    Look like Package & Deployment does not do the job properly.

    Can someone tell me what are the necessary files to display chm file (any ocx, dll to distribute to client machine?)

    Thanks

    I guess it depends on how you display the help file. I make a single call to a function in hhctrl.ocx. I don't distribute this file with my apps, and I've not received any complaints about people not being able to view the help file.

    You aren't by any chance hard coding the path to your help file into the EXE are you?
