Installing HHActiveX.DLL

If your Microsoft HTML Help project includes an online glossary, browse sequences or WebSearch, a special file needs to be installed and registered on end users' systems to support these features. The name of this file is HHActiveX.DLL. On your authoring system, it is located in the program folder for your eHelp authoring product.

To manually install HHActiveX.DLL:

  1. Copy HHActiveX.DLL into the same folder as the .CHM.

  2. Click the Windows Start button.

  3. Select Run.

  4. In Open, enter the following:

    regsvr32 <path> hhactivex.dll (specify the path of the HHActiveX.DLL)

  5. Click OK.

Tips:

  • You only need to distribute HHActiveX.DLL if you are distributing a Microsoft HTML Help system that includes an online glossary, browse sequences or WebSearch.

  • If your project includes custom or third-party ActiveX controls, you need to install and register the ActiveX control. For details, see Installing ActiveX controls.
