[sword-devel] Windows testers feedback needed

[Dan Bertles]

Installing HHCTRL.OCX was extremely easy.  I don't have administrator
privileges and didn't know they were necessary.  I did an FTP search for the
file:
(ftp://ftp.lib.uni.lodz.pl/pub/win/psdk/jan2000/redist/ms/system/hhctrl.ocx
<ftp://ftp.lib.uni.lodz.pl/pub/win/psdk/jan2000/redist/ms/system/hhctrl.ocx>
) and downloaded it.  After that, I just copied the newer file to the system
directory.

Blessings!

Dan

	Wow,
		I think if we nail down what needs to be updated, I can have
our help
	expert automatically upgrade HHCTRL.OCX or whatever.  Is the same
ocx
	used for 95, 98, nt4, and 2000?

		o Jerry, can you find the latest file[s] that need to be
updated on a
	system to run the chm help file and place it/them on the site and
post a
	message with links and detail exact instructions on where to copy
the
	file[s]?

		o Jody, is this easy to do with installshield?

		o Brook and others, could you verify that the procedure does
indeed fix
	your problems?

		o Dan, maybe you could post the detailed steps you took to
solve the
	problem on NT4SP5


	Thanks everyone for all your contributions!  What a blessing! :)
