TC tries to find CHM, and it it fails, it looks for a HLP file with the same name. That's why you get this error.

It looks like TC does not look for the HLP file, but simply calls the WinHelp system for this file. The WinHelp system shows the error.ghisler(Author) wrote:TC tries to find CHM, and it it fails, it looks for a HLP file with the same name. That's why you get this error.
It shouldn't be hard to look for the HLP file before calling WinHelp and display a better error. "...TOTALCMD.CHM not found..."

Yes, the error comes from Windows when TC tries to open the HLP, so unfortunately I cannot change the words of the error.
