Tutorial For Windows Application Help System RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I'm using Robohelp 8 and I've created several web based help projects.
I now need to create a help system that will be part of a Windows application. A local help that will install with the app.
Are there any tutorials on how to do this?
Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I wrote an article for Adobe's Developer Network which you may find helpful on how to implement context sensitive help with a web application using the WebHelp API. It was written for an older version of RoboHelp, but the concepts are virtually the same.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/robohelp/articles/context_help.html
In additional you will find more information regarding application help from these two resources. Some of what you need will depend on the language and platform of the application (.NET, C++, C#, PHP, Java, etc.) These are covered in the documentation:
This is the online help topic for context sensitive help on Adobe's website.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/RoboHTML/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c571-800 0.html
Calling WebHelp on Peter Grainge's site
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm
In addition, if your developers are using C++ language to develop their applications, you may find a new automatic feature in Adobe RoboHelp 9 to be useful.

Hi, Need help. I am trying to download the latest iTunes for Windows application but on running the program it says that it can not be completed as it can not find the folder location of the file "iTunes.msi" . Any clues would be appreciated

Hi, Need help. I am trying to download the latest iTunes for Windows application but on running the program it says that it can not be completed as it can not find the folder location of the file "iTunes.msi" . Any clues would be appreciated

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Corrupted regsutry recovery problems for Windows XP on system restore

Hi. Had a spyware (Trojan) killed by the virus cleaner but upon restart it gave me a famous lsass.exe error about an application, which could not be terminated. Went on and read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 but when tried to start recovery from Windows XP CD-ROM, the command "copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system" did not work. Eventually was able to load the system from the CD-ROM but then could not pass part 2 (safe mode after rebooting) as the administrator password has been changed. I have run NT Password and Registry Bootdisk from USB to remove the administrator password but when tried go back to recovery console from Windows XP CD-ROM, the computer powers off right before I select "R"-option to start the recovery console. When I do not use the CD-ROM and try to power on in a safe mode, it gives BSOD. How do I get to corrupted registry if I cant get to recovery console and system restore?
Any help is appreciated. I have run a system diagnostics and start-up test has passed but on hard disk test I get to 10% of comprehensive only and then it seems to take indefinite.
This question was solved.

How to do a Manual SYSTEM RESTORE in XP, this should fix the missing or corrupt config file.
A. Connect your non-bootable hard drive to another computer, as a secondary drive or use a usb adapter or enclosure, If you can see your data on the drive, back it up Now, then follow the rest of these instructions.
B. Open Windows Explorer. Click on Tools|Folder Options|View. Check the box beside "Show hidden files and folders". Apply your change.
NOTE
D: may not represent the hard drive you connected to your PC, it may be E: or F: or G:, it all depends on how many other drives (including cd/dvd) you have in your host PC, So substitute the appropriate drive letter in the instructions below.
C. Navigate to the D:\System Volume Information folder. You will see a folder named something like _restore{.........} the dots represent an alpha-numeric sequence.
In this folder you will see folders named RP0....RPnn. Find the one with the highest number.
These are your System Restore points. In the highest numbered folder you will see a folder named snapshot. In this folder are registry hive files which you need to recover your system:
_registry_user_.default
_registry_machine_security
_registry_machine_software
_registry_machine_system
_registry_machine_sam
D. Create a subdirectory; i.e, D:\Windows\TMP. Copy these files to the TMP subdirectory. Rename them to:
default
security
software
system
sam
Note Be sure to lose the period (.) in the file named _registry_user_.default
E. Delete the files in the D:\windows\system32\config subdirectory with the same short names.
F. Copy the D:\windows\tmp files to the D:\windows\system32\config. subdirectory.
G.Put your drive back in its original system. Your system should start normally. If you get the same error repeat the procedure and choose another folder ( RPnn) (next highest number).
You can repeat this procedure choosing lower RPnn numbers until you get it booting again.
If you are denied access to any folders you will have to take "Ownership" of the folders first. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421
If this procedure fails to work you need to repair or reinstall Windows.

Is Dreamweaver an appropriate tool for creating a Help system?

Hi,
I have the full Adobe Creative Suite and I'm looking to create a Help system. Is Dreamweaver an appropriate tool for this, or is there another tool that would be better? I don't have Robohelp.
Robyn

Hi Robyn
Robohelp and most of the other help systems would be like splitting a nut with a sledgehammer, for what you describe.
You are basically talking about a search system on specific topics, for which Dreamweaver is an adequate tool, it may be worth while incorporating one of the 'smaller' open source help system into your site, in order to achieve your goal.
Your comment on posting to the 'indesign' forum is understandable but not recommenced (there is a great difference between dtp (classic graphic design) and web design / development), especially if you intend to incorporate your current 'user guide' into a web site. Any help system both for a program that you install on your computer or supply as a web site 'help' system can be constructed as a searchable html page (many are html pages now), and you can even use the a major search engine to do this for you, (providing you know how, of course). It is even possible to search pdf's, flash and audio, and provide then as a downloadable / online version as well if you so require.
The one thing you did not say in your reply was how good your programming skills are, (if not very good, do you have someone who can do this for you), as this is what will limit your help / search system. But even here if you incorporate one of the search engines own search api into a basic web page they will index and search your site for you, both as a local search, and as a web search.
Hope this helps, in some way.

Is InDesign or Dreamweaver useful for creating a Help system

Hi,
I have the full Adobe Creative Suite and I'm looking to create a Help system. Is Dreamweaver an appropriate tool for this, or is there another tool that would be better? I don't have Robohelp. I realize that's probably a better tool. Or would anyone recommend using the XML that is available with InDesign?

Resolution 1440 x 900 for Windows applications?

I am attempting to use MacBook Pro (15") to run Windows applications. Some of these are written for a screen resolution of 1280 x 1050, but the max available on the MBP is seemingly 1440 x 900. Is there any way around this, short of buying an external monitor or the 17" MBP?

I was thinking of a solution along the lines of, maybe the device handlers could reduce the Windows app image to the lower native resolution, which could then be displayed.

I need ct1373 driver for windows 2000 help please I'm about to

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp ma plz
I have been looking for this driver long time ago
help me
CT373 -DCQ for windows 2000

Well it must be an OEM product, so a driver may not be available. However all Sound Blaster PCI series cards (Ensoniq chip I think) use a single driver, apart from the PCI52 which uses a crippled EMU0k chip.
So try to use the drivers and updates for Sound Blaster PCI 6, PCI 64 or PCI 28. VIBRA is PCI 6 I think.
http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ame=Windows+XP
<SPAN class=time_text>
Update: I did a little search in the net and it appears 373 is the chip name. This was an Ensoniq chip, so it was named ES373, then CT373 etc... It is a bit confusing because the retail sold cards carry a CT4xxx ot CT5xxx model number, some like yours just the renamed chip etc. The actual card is PCI 28. So the drivers posted above should do the job.Message Edited by alexs3d2 on 09-04-2005 :33 AM

Ptrace denied for Windows application under Wine using linux-grsec

Hello,
whenver I boot the linux-grsec kernel I'm not able to start a specific Windows application which works flawlessly with the normal kernel.
journalctl reports:
Mai 02 00:00:57 MYARCH kernel: grsec: denied ptrace of /usr/bin/wine-preloader(TPW.EXE:4493) by /usr/bin/wineserver[wineserver:4454] uid/euid:1000/1000 gid/egid:100/100, parent /usr/lib/systemd/systemd[systemd:1] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0

I guess that this could be avoided by disabling
kernel.grsecurity.harden_ptrace
and/or
kernel.grsecurity.ptrace_readexec
in /etc/sysctl.d/05-grsecurity-conf. But that's not what I really want. Is there another way how to circumvent this problem?

I'm seeing a similar problem with a Steam game that grsec occasionally causes to crash. Here's cllp from the journal:
