Title: ahscript.chm file -- how do you read it?
Post by: rtc99 on January 31, 2007, 09:50:47 AM

Really hate to ask this question, but how to you read the documentation file for SDK.  Calls it up in its little browser, but says I'm not connected to the internet.

In Windows, CHM files should be associated with Microsoft HTML Help Exe.  Not sure why that would complain that you aren't connected to the internet.  What version of Windows are you using?

Check your folder options in Windows Explorer and check the file tab.

*.chm  files should be assocated with the hh.exe program. Which is the same thing mentioned above.

My computer has this in the command box: Open with: "C:\winnt\hh.exe" %1
And the action to be performed is the following: open

Yours may be: "c:\windows\hh.exe" %1


But I'm running Windows 2000

Hmmm...I'll add my question to this post.  My *.chm is associated with hh.exe as shown above, but when I click on it, it says that every page has "The address is not valid...most likely causes, there might be a typing error in the address..."  Any suggestions?  The file is only 24K -- is it missing something?

Hi there,

Depending on your operating system (this happens in Vista all the time), the OS may have identified the file as coming from another computer and "blocked" the file, which will cause what you're seeing.

1. Close the file if it's open
2. Right click on the help file (ahscript.chm)
3. Left-click on "Properties"
4. Under the "General" tab, click the "Unblock" button
5. Click OK
6. Open the file again

Assuming it's set to open with the default "Microsoft HTML Help," as mine is, this should fix what you're seeing. Let me know if you still have problems.

Cheers!

Nick

See the post at my forums here: Help file: "The page cannot be displayed" error. (http://wgjohns.com/forums/index.php?topic=7.0) it talks about the BVC help file, but it is the same problem and the same solution to view the AHP SDK help file.   ;)

This seems like a very popular post. Any reason why x10 doesn't just do this in HTML like very body else?
