F1 generates error in Windows 7 64-bit HTMLHelp

Post by sarrants »

Our users have reported (and we've confirmed) that under Windows 7 64-bit, pressing F1 does not display Help, but generates an error: "The C:\Program Files\MBF Bioscience\Neurolucida 64-bit\Neurolocuda.chm file is not a Windows Help file, or the file is corrupted."

Users can still open Help from the Help menu or from Help buttons in interface items to call individual topics.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

I would expect that to be more of an issue with how you're calling the .chm file than a problem with the .chm file itself. That is, however you're programmatically calling from your app, it's how your app is making a call that's a problem on Win7 x64.
