Question : Windows Vista winhelp.exe

Hi!

First of all, there should be a Windows Vista topic available so I wouldn't have to post my question on the wrong topic (and eventually get flamed).

My question is easy :  since winhelp is no longer supported by Vista how can I access the large number of .hlp I need to?  Is there a way I can make .hlp files still work on Vista?  Can I convert those into .chm (or else)?

Thanks!

Steve

Answer : Windows Vista winhelp.exe

Hi Steve,

Here is some encouraging news from Microsoft Corporation.



Users who want to view 32-bit .hlp files must download the program from the Microsoft Download Center, and then install it on their computers. The download for Windows Help is still in development. It will be available in time for the consumer release of Windows Vista scheduled for early 2007.



Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows:

As for the converters, I haven't tried any. But see if you can find anything useful in the following site:
