[BTW: I'm running Visual C++ 6.0 (Visual Studio)... Thanks....
When I click on *some* links in the text on the help pages of Microsof
Visual Studio 6.0 for C++ I get an error dialog box with the title 'Interne
Explorer Script Error'. The dialog contents always go something like this
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - -
Line:

mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? (yes/no
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - -
I always click 'yes'
The error in the case above occured when I clicked on 'Run-Time Typ
Information' on the '/CR (Enable Run-time Type Information) help panel whic
can be found in the index as 'compiler option' under 'RTTI (run-time typ
information)'
File vccore.chm resides on my machine in directory 'C:\Progra
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033'. When I edit the file wit
wordpad I do find the string '_core_.2f.gr_option.htm'
Do I have to set an option somewhere for this to work
Thanks

If you also experience this problem when using the other help files on your
system then you may have a registry problem: the registry entries for the
HTML Help ActiveX control may be broken. A number of the security patches
and service packs that Microsoft released last year are known to cause this
problem, including the cumulative security patches for Internet Explorer and
service pack 4 (SP4) for Windows 2000.
The problem is described in Knowledge Base article 822989 and, in most
versions of Windows, installing Critical Update 811630 should sort it out.
822989: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822989
811630: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811630
The exception to this is Windows 2000 with SP4 installed. In this case you
must unregister the ActiveX control and then re-register it, by running the
following two commands from a command prompt:
regsvr32 /u <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx

Thanks for the information
I'm on XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 1. I have lots of K and SP2-Q hotfixes installed, but not 811630
I'll try the fix
