Hi,
I've created a CHM file, which is used in my webapplication for providing help for the individual screens.

On each of the webpage, am invoking the CHM file to show help specific to that page. I'm using Window.Open(<path>), to show up the help file.

In my development environment, it works fine. But recently after deploying to the client's server, the window was opening but the contents were blank. In otherwords the CHM file is not opening up.

The code to open the .CHM file is -

window.open('ms-its:http://localhost/webApp/CONTENTHELP.Chm::/xd1s.htm')

The above code works fine in my development machine, but not on the client's server.

Is there something else that I need to copy or register in the client's server. Any guidance on this is much appreciated.

TIA
Praveen

Instead of localhost give server IP address.

I too have the file refering problem, when I upload, can I know what is the link to be given to get the image file which is at the subfolder

you should use this

window.open('ms-its:http://../webApp/CONTENTHELP.Chm::/xd1s.htm')

I tried the methods posted by "Santhi" & "quazi_nomi". It doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

I searched for hh.exe in system32 folder and it exists.

Are they any DLLs that I need to install to make this work??

Try this
window.open('ms-its:CONTENTHELP.Chm::/xd1s.htm')

Thanks for your replies Numan, but without giving any kind of address, how will the url present in the window.open by any means open up. It's sound so strange for me. Can you please elaborate on your suggestion.

I pulled this up, not sure if it will help you.

Hello Vasudavan,
  Did you ever fixed the problem you had. we are having the same problem at our place.
  In one of our web application, We have been using the following URL to access CHM files and any topic iniside the chm file. But, now it suddenly stopped working. We are suspecting the windows updates for this.

 ms-its:http://servername/filename.chm
 and/or
 ms-its:http://servername/filename.chm::/htmlfile.htm

Have you found any workaround for this issue?

Thanks
Babu

Hi all.
Does anybody know how to open Index tab of the .chm file from the command line? When simply .chm file is passed, it opens the last viewed tab (Contents or Index). But I want to open Index (or Contents) tab each time the .chm file is opened.
Thank you very much.
B.
