Help Compilers

HTML Help 1.x Compiler

The Microsoft HTML Help Compiler is distributed as part of the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop, available for free download from the following URL :

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14188

You can also find an older version of the HTML Help workshop setup package (htmlhelp.exe) on the Visual Studio 6 installation CD, but we strongly recommend you download and install the latest version if you can. 

After installation, the HTML Help Workshop only registers itself fully when you run it for the first time, so you should start and then close the HTML Help Workshop at least once after installation to fully activate it.
