.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / February 2005VB6 help doesn't work
Whenever I try to use the context sensitive help (press F1) or try to access HELP through the menu, I receive this error: "Attempting to use an invalid compiled help (.chm) file." Installed is VB6 with SP6. Machine: Windows 2003 Server standard Microsoft KB 279342 references a similar error message, however the article is from 2001 and doesn't apply to Windows 2003 Server, nor does it apply to the MSDN version I am using, which certainly doesn't have a \x86\Setup\Hhupd.exe which is mentioned in the article. And yes, I removed and reinstalled VS6 and MSDN, I also reinstalled security patches which were related to HTML help. Funny enough, using FILEMON it shows that the system doesn't even try to access a single .CHM file for this error to show. Please help! Thank you! Frank --Dipl.Kaufm. tech.

First thing to get out of the way is what version of MSDN Library ARE you using? You really should have mentioned that. VB6 only works with MSDN Library October 2001 or earlier. Any edition after that is for .NET only. The version of Windows itself shouldn't make any difference.  SignatureMike Microsoft MVP Visual Basic Hi Mike, the version I am installing is the one that was added to the VS6 installation CDs that came with the MSDN library back then. The file dates of the files are from 1998. Thank you Frank >> Whenever I try to use the context sensitive help (press F1) or try to > access [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > Library October 2001 or earlier.
