I screwed up the installation of the BCB6 Help files and now I don't
know how to fix the problem.

By mistake, when I was prompted for the *.hlp file associated with
Delphi7HelpForBdsExpert.bpl, I clicked on Delphi7HelpForBdsExpert.dpk.

Now, even when I uninstall the Delphi7HelpForBdsExpert.bpl component,
then re-add it, the association still exists and I am warned that
Delphi7HelpForBdsExpert.dpk "is not a Windows Help file".

How can I cause BDS2006 to prompt me for the *.hlp file again?

I found the reference in the registry pointing at the helpfile where I put it,
this:

HKEY_USERS /S-1-5-21-1177238915-448539723-1801674531-1004 /
/Software/ dummzeuch/Delphi7HelpForBds /

I guess you can put the path to the helpfile here manually.

Thanks for your help, Ingvar. It wasn't exactly what I needed but it
set me in the right direction. For anyone who has the same problem,
here's what I did:
I located this path in the Registry Editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\dummzeuch\Delphi7HelpForBds
There, I modified HelpFile to the correct path to file bcb6.hlp. File
bcb6.hlp is part of a folder containing all of the other BCB6 Help
files. That's it.

Thanks again.

Probably not, given Thomas Mueller authored the expert in question (his
website is http://www.dummzeuch.de/).

No, <g

My best attempt would be:
Say "dumb stuff" with a rather, um, let's say
"rural" accent.
