WinCE: Problems including OEM help (.chm) files into Platform SDK

Hi all,

Having a bit of a problem that that has come up in the newsgroup
archives (without any solution suggested) a couple of times before back
in 2003-3.

I'm trying to include a custom .chm help file into a SDK installer
build via. the "Configure SDK..." dialog "Help" tab, as described in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcepb40/html/pbtskaddingcustomhelpfilestosdk.asp,
my file is included in the installer OK and written out with the other
help files as part of the install, however it does NOT appear to be
linked in to the SDK help presented in eMbedded Visual C++.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Richard Lang.

That's the way it works in V5.0. nothing you can do about it, unfortunately.

I'm working with 4.2 rather than 5.0 (oops, ment to mention that in the
origional post)

Should it work with 4.2, quoting from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcepb40/html/pbconaddingoemhelpfiles.asp


"...After you perform this task, exported SDKs that include the new
feature automatically include the custom documentation. This custom
documentation does not appear in the Platform Builder Help system.
However, once the SDK is installed on a development workstation
containing eMbedded Visual C++, the custom documentation appears in the
eMbedded Visual C++ Help collection, underneath the Microsoft Windows
CE node."

Thanks,

Richard Lang

Yes, it *should* work, but it doesn't - it's broken.
