Microsoft Help Compiler Installation

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 does not include the help compiler for creating HLP format help files.

To compile HLP files with Plex, you must download and install the help compiler separately. You can find Windows 95 Help Authoring Kit (hcwsetup.exe) available for download at http://www.microsoft.com. You must install the MS help compiler to its default location: C:\Program Files\Help Workshop.

The minimum requirement for successful help topic compilation is to have two files—HCRTF.EXE and HWDLL.DLL present in the folder C:\Program Files\Help Workshop.
