No results pressing F1 on a property in the editor in D2005Arch. Press
the Borland Help menu option and get this error.

No topic-based help installed.


Exception raised on first startup of a reinstall. htmlhelp.bpl

The Microsoft document explorer is not installed. I am running XP. I
did a search on ms website. No explorer found that I can see to
install.

Any ideas?



Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig:

I have responded to your related e-mail in the Delphi Documentation
newsgroup. Per your message following, the Document Explorer is the Help
browser included with the .NET SDK, which uses HTML Help 2.0 (H20) for
content.

You may have to install or reinstall the .NET Framework to ensure that the
Document Explorer is registered properly on your system, then install
Delphi. (I know this is a pain.)

Troy:

I did exactly that. Uninstalled the whole thing and reinstalled from
the Delphi CD.

Thanks,

Craig

The help viewer is there, since I can read the SDK help. But it says
"Cannot find server" when trying to open the Borland stuff.
ms-help://borland.bds3/bds3start/html/intro.htm for instance.

Yes, the help files are there. Is there a reg key that I can modify to
tell the stupid help system where its files are?

Because I don't want to do the below

I finally got Delphi to work and don't want to have to start all over
again.

Anyway, that's what life is, just one learning
experience after another, and when you're through
with all the learning experiences you graduate and
what you get for a diploma is, you die.

I appreciate your frustration, but the only reliable fix we've been able to
come up with is a complete reinstall of the SDK and product.

Yep. Did so. Worked. Gave me time to read another chapter in my book.
