To provide support for Microsoft HTML Help functionality on end users' systems, Microsoft HTML Help system files need to be installed and registered on their computers. Your eHelp product installation disk includes the file HHUPD.EXE which provides a shortcut for installing and registering all the required Microsoft HTML Help system files on end users' computers. HHUPD.EXE is located in a folder titled "Redist" on the eHelp production installation CD.
The method for installing these files depends on how you are distributing your Help product:
Application Help: Provide your developer with a copy of HHUPD.EXE when you deliver your .CHM files. Your developer will run HHUPD.EXE to install the Microsoft HTML Help system files. For information about how to run external applications (HHUPD.EXE), your developer can check the documentation included with the install program.
Standalone Help: Copy this file on the disk or CD where your .CHM files are located. Users can manually install the files by running HHUPD.EXE from the disk or CD.
Note: Internet Explorer 4.x or later should be installed before installing HHUPD.EXE. Internet Explorer 5 is available on the install CD for your eHelp authoring product. Your licensing agreement with eHelp enables you to install and distribute Internet Explorer 5 with your HTML Help products. For more information, see Installing Internet Explorer.
Insert the installation CD for your eHelp authoring product.
By default, when you insert the CD, InstallShield will prepare your system for product installation.
Exit from setup.
From the Windows Explorer, navigate to the drive where your CD ROM drive is located (for example, e:/).
Open the folder titled Redist.
Right-click the file HHUPD.EXE and select Copy.
Save a copy of this file on your system. For standalone Help, save a copy of this file on your disk or CD. For application Help, provide your developer with a copy.
On the end user's system, insert the disk or CD that contains the .CHM files and HHUPD.EXE.
Double-click HHUPD.EXE. It automatically installs and registers the required system files on the end user's system.
Copy the .CHM file(s) on the end user's system.
