No, I check the registry value mentioned in the knowledge base article found by CoolWater.

How do you do that from a web server?
I you check it on the client side you'll have to include both hlp and chm which makes the setup much larger.
IMO: He is not talking about install process, but about the presence of both files. (by a manual dl of the hlp)ghisler(Author) wrote:Which help file to show when both are present.
Yes, the wcmd_pol.chm was only a suggestion - several of the other language help files presently also only exists in .hlp format. But I guess they can be converted without too much effort.2petermad
It is HLP file

I know but it seams very clear to Christian to include the chm. (the poll is clear for now.) But apparently he will still offer the hlp for download.Lefteous wrote:2Samuel
I thought this poll is about
"Include HLP or CHM for help file in main installer?"
So he asked this question about IE Version because he wants to know what help version to use in future TC versions if the user has the chm (automatically installed by future TC) and the hlp (can be downloaded in future) in the TC folder. And his solution is to check the IE version.
That's fine as default, but an option to choose which one to use would be great - for version 7.50 just as an inifile setting, but later as an option in the Configuration dialog.So when both help file versions are present, I will use the CHM file if IE 5 or later is present, and the HLP file otherwise.

Hm really ? I have never seen such a clear.the poll is clear for now
OK thanks. I guess I got the point now.So he asked this question about IE Version because he wants to know what help version to use in future TC versions if the user has the chm (automatically installed by future TC) and the hlp (can be downloaded in future) in the TC folder. And his solution is to check the IE version.
Please, include it in the installer - not as a downloadable file.and the hlp (can be downloaded in future)

I know - but I want both the .chm and the .hlp file in the Installer - and I want them both installed."hlp" does not mean that the help is stripped from the installer. Only the help in form of the old "*.hlp" format is replaced by the "*.chm" format.
TC itself (not the Installer) should check the OS every time at startup and use the appropriate type. In that way TC is still portable, and can be used from an USB stick regardless of what OS is on the computer.

Why should I have to be bothered with that - You might as well say that there is no need to include the German help file in the Installer - people can just download it.If you prefer to have a version which is compatible to even out of date operating system versions you can still download the old help file and include it to your custom installation.
