I found it cumbersome, slow, and unreliable. Instead, I use Inno Setup, which is easy to use, fast, and works great for installing VFP applications. In Inno, you simply run FOXHHELP.EXE /REGSERVER at the end of the install process.<BR/><BR/>If I recall, in InstallShield, you can set properties of files to tell InstallShield to register the EXE using REGSERVER. I don't remember how to do that, but you should be able to find it if you check the properties dialog for FOXHHELP.EXE in InstallShield.Doug Hennighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208525487680844022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24989625.post-24052891437323248232009-04-01T09:27:00.000-05:002009-04-01T09:27:00.000-05:00Hi, Doug.

I´m a brazilian mainframe developer currently (and accidentaly :D) working with low plataform in VFP6.<BR/>I´ve read some articles about Vista X VPF (in)compatibility and I found an article you wrote.<BR/>I need some help with an issue related to your article. Could you give me any tips?<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>Adriana<BR/><BR/>My e-mail is madrugada_polask@yahoo.com.br<BR/><BR/>Issue description:<BR/><BR/>Windows Vista does not support the HLP format, so I had to convert to CHM.<BR/>I can´t find the solution to the proper installation of HTML Help using Installshield 5.53 and VFP 6.<BR/>No help appears when I press the F1 key or when I select Microsoft Visual FoxPro Help Topics from the Help menu. This occurs with distributed applications installed on a system that does not have Visual FoxPro installed.<BR/>I´ve already copied the Foxhhelp.exe file and the Foxhhelpps.dll file to Installshield,<BR/>but isn´t working. <BR/>I know I can register by running the Foxhhelp.exe file with the /REGSERVER option (FOXHHELP /REGSERVER), but I need to do it not manually. How can I register the Foxhhelp.exe using Installshield?<BR/><BR/>I´ve included the code below at setup.rul:<BR/><BR/>Enable ( SELFREGISTERBATCH );<BR/><BR/>if Do ( SELFREGISTRATIONPROCESS ) < 0 then<BR/> szMsg = "File(s) failed to self-register: \n" + ERRORFILENAME;<BR/> MessageBox (szMsg, WARNING);<BR/>endif; <BR/><BR/>In File Groups I created a folder named Register with Self-Registered option = Yes.<BR/>foxhhelpps.dll and foxhhelp.exe are placed in Static File Links.<BR/>What is wrong or missing?Adrianahttp://www.shailen.blogger.com.br/index.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
