Vista and WinHelp

[Newsgroup_User]

I find it fascinating that Microsoft distributes winhelp.exe (16-bit
WinHelp) as part of Vista but stubbornly refuses to distribute winhlp32.exe
(32-bit WinHelp). Apparently Microsoft still needs/wants to use WinHelp
popups so they're keeping the 16-bit WinHelp executable as part of Vista.

So now here's my question... Robohelp has its own .dll (RoboEx32.dll) that
it allows us to distribute. My understanding is that this is what allows us
to have the tripane view. Having been mostly away from help development for
the last several years but about to enter the fray again, what happens if I
develop a RoboHelp Help2000 project and load project.hlp, project.cnt and
the RoboHelp .dll file onto a Vista machine (which only has winhelp.exe)??
Does this work?

Thanks

Hi Mike

Please limit posting the same issue to a single forum category. I see the same post (apparently copied and pasted) appearing in the General Discussion category from yesterday.
