“Click-Once” loops to install .NET Framework
Oktober 31st, 2009When starting a “Click-Once” published application from Internet URL a dialog keeps trying to install .NET Framework every time, and even if you run this install it keeps trying to install .NET Framework on subsequent “Click-Once” activations…
And you are sure - .NET Framework is installed on your PC. What’s this?
This is caused when you opened a .application file in e.g. Notepad and set Notepad to be the default handler for .application files. (It needs to be the ClickOnce client runtime component). Resetting this back to the default handler corrected the problem.
HHC.exe command process hangs indefinitely
Oktober 21st, 2009Having all the needed files to compile a chm, but when you run the hhc.exe command, the process hangs indefinitely.
We learned that some Windows updates caused the hhc.exe to unregister itself. A batch file that re-registered the server .dlls for the HTMLHelp workshop may work for you. Ran it every Wednesday morning. Rebooting the server also clears this situation.

Tech Comm Toolbox
Januar 6th, 2009JTF Associates announced the Tech Comm Toolbox. One of the most common questions heard on many forums is “What tool do you use for [purpose]?” Answers vary, of course, because everyone has their own favorites and some folks will even answer that the right tool is “the one that best meets your needs”.
Sometimes, many people will answer that you need to look at the different tools, download trial versions, and test. But where is the list of tools to choose from?
It’s at TechComm Toolbox, your online resource for all applications, services, and consultants related to technical communication.

Converting WinHelp projects to HTMLHelp
September 26th, 2008HHPMod is a software tool created by Sid Penstone for converting WinHelp projects to HTML Help format. It rewrites the project created by HTML Workshop to restore the original Context IDs and the context-sensitive support files.
As a result of a contact from a user with a very large WinHelp project Sid has modified HHPMod to remove the limit on the number of topic files that it will handle. It has been tested with more than 2000 topics, and should handle as many as HTML Workshop can process. As well as handling much large numbers of topic files, it identifies files containing graphical “hot spots” for manual editing, and has fixed some display bugs.
The new version is 2.5.9, replacing 2.4.8. Download from Sid’s web site http://post.queensu.ca/~penstone/ .
ms-its jumps with target bug
August 9th, 2008When the user clicks an ms-its jump that includes a target in another CHM file, the topic appears at the correct target location, but the css styles are not applied and the graphics do not appear. Clicking refresh loads the graphics and styles.
Here’s an example jump:
<A href=”ms-its:filename.chm::html/TroubleShooting.htm#checklist”>
You can work around the css problem by referencing the css in the <head> section of your HTML files using the ms-its protocol but that doesn’t fix the graphic issue.
The solution is to replace “ms-its:” with the older “mk:@MSITStore:” scheme.
