Need Winhlp32.exe

Question

I know that that WinHelp is discontinued. No more included since Windows Vista. However, while Vista was still supported by Microsoft, I still could install it. Now, no more. Every time I got error in my Windows Vista related to run old software using winhlp32.exe, I am always directed to this Microsoft link. From there I can download a package file, name Windows6.0-KB917607-x86.exe. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to download the required file to run *.hlp file.

Now, I need that Windows Vista/Windows 7's WinHlp32.exe that I can copy and put manually to my C:\Windows. Where can I get it? Can someone help or share?

Answer 1

Windows has two types of help files. The older ones have .hlp as their file extension, and the newer ones .chm.

They may be downloaded from:

• The .hlp package as downloaded from Microsoft no longer works. One that works can be downloaded from majorgeeks.

• The .chm one can be downloaded from Microsoft HTML Help Workshop and Documentation .
