Compiling help file

Step 1: Installing required components

HTML Help Workshop

This software is required if you would like to compile this repo into .chm help file. HTML Help Workshop can be downloaded at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21138.

Microsoft MSXML

Microsoft MSXML is required for compiling help files from issrc repository. Download and install msxml.msi file at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19662.

Source code editor

Any of your favorite editors should work. Make sure your code editor works well with different file encodings and can identify them automatically though. All .htm files should be only encoded in windows-1251 so that CHM index and search features work correctly for Russian text.

Step 2: Compiling the .chm help file

You can simply follow instructions in compile.bat to compile the project. Other approaches are also described below.

  1. Clone this repo into your system: git clone https://github.com/bugron/ISetupRussianHelp.git or just download the zip archive of this repository.
  2. After you make sure HTML Help Workshop is installed on your system double-click on hh_project.hhp to open it in HTML Help Workshop
  3. File -> Compile... to compile source files into a .chm file.

Also to make it a bit faster consider saving the following into a .reg file (or just create the keys in regedit) add adding those keys into registry so you can compile by right clicking on .hhp file and selecting Compile.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\hhp.file\shell\compile]
@="Compile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\hhp.file\shell\compile\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\HTML Help Workshop\\hhc.exe\" \"%1\""

Do not forget to replace the path to hhc.exe if it is different in your case. The result should looks like this:
