Восстановление winhlp32.exe в Windows 10

Восстановление winhlp32.exe в Windows 10

Сообщение blackstrip » Сб авг 06, 2016 11:44 am

Уже с Windows 7 майкрософт решила, что HLP-файлы помощи устарели, вместо них используются CHM (compiled HTML), и поэтому прекратила их поддержку.

Поэтому в папке windows лежит winhlp32.exe, который вместо показа помощи отправляет пользователей куда нибудь в интернет на страницу помощи майкрософт. На этой странице можно скачать обновление, которое ставит нормальный winhlp32.exe в систему. Но для Windows 10 там нет пакета обновления.

Поэтому, например, в Delphi 7 теперь невозможно почитать помощь.

В интернете лежит несколько вариантов самодельного пакета c winhlp32 под Windows 10, там внутри и exe-шник, и mui файлы ресурсов под разные языки. Но в этих пакетах одна проблема — хоть и отлично работает winhlp32.exe, но нет библиотеки ftsrch.dll, а отсюда — пропадает вкладка «Поиск», а сам winhlp32.exe при первом запуске выдает ошибки.

Я доработал этот пакет, вставил туда ftsrch.dll и команду его копирования в папку windows.

Итак:
1) качаем этот zip-архив http://blackstrip.ru/winhlp32-and-search-win10.zip
2) распаковываем его куда нибудь
3) тыкаем правой кнопкой мышки по скрипту install.cmd и выбираем «Запуск от имени администратора». Ждем когда скрипт все скопирует под расширенными правами (с простыми правами winhlp32.exe не удается ни удалить, ни заменить, правда, прога unlocker может его таки удалить, и потом можно вручную закинуть winhlp32.exe на пустое место, но скриптом все это делать еще удобнее).

4) Наслаждаемся полноценным winhlp32 с системой поиска.

WinHlp32 — программа для чтения устаревшего формата справок .HLP для всех Windows (x86/x64)

Начиная с Windows Vista компания Microsoft отказалась от поддержки устаревшего формата справок .HLP в пользу более прогрессивного формата .CHM (Compiled HTML).
При попытке открыть файлы справки устаревшего формата вас уведомляют, что:

В данном случае отсутствующий «компонент» — это файл WinHlp32.exe, который и должен открывать файлы справки. В новых Windows он физически тоже есть, лежит в папке с установленной системой, но на деле это всего лишь пустышка размером в несколько килобайт, которая не работает.

Внедрение новых технологий — это, конечно, хорошо и правильно, но осталось множество нужных руководств и справочников в формате .HLP, а также очень многие популярные и до сих пор используемые программы в качестве справки понимают только этот формат.

К счастью в Microsoft вовремя одумались и выложили отдельно обновления, устанавливающие в систему правильный файл WinHlp32.exe. Но, чтобы их скачать требуется пройти проверку подлинности операционной системы.

Поэтому выкладываю архив с файлами, которые помогут установить программу, не подвергая ОС проверкам.
Отдельный файл WinHlp32.exe для русских версий операционных систем Windows взят из оригинального дистрибутива Windows XP, работоспособность проверена на всех версиях Windows x86/x64.

Для правильной установки программы читать инструкцию, находящуюся в архиве.

Everything worked fine except the «Search» function. Is there a way to activate that?

WinHlp32 for Windows 10

Review

Free Download

Open and view older Help files on Windows 10 along with the annotations, bookmarks and other modifications you made using this tool

In the eventuality that you have recently installed Windows 10, then there is a chance that you noticed that you are unable to open or read older help files. To be more precisely, whenever you attempt to access them, you get redirected to a page that explains that the latest version of Windows does not support these files anymore.

WinHlp32 is a tiny application designed to help you with this predicaments, meaning that it restores the ability to open and view the help or HLP files on Windows 10.

Simply install and forget about it

It is worth mentioning that the application does not have an interface, but is rather designed as a fix. Consequentially, you need to run the installer and follow the straightforward steps to complete the operation. Since the tool does not have a GUI, it means it does not come with settings or options and hence, you can know it works properly by opening a help file.

In case you change your mind that want to remove it, then you should be able to find it in Uninstall section in the Control Panel. At the same time, the tool does not affect anything on your system, so you should be able to preview the edits you made on the HLP files, meaning annotations, bookmarks or changes to the font and colors, for instance, exactly as you left them.

A lightweight tool that enables you to access help files on Windows 10

Not only did Microsoft remove the HLP reader from its latest operating system, but is seems it is also encourages developers to stop using the Windows Help app. Instead they recommend alternative file formats, such as XML, HTML or CHM. On the other hand, if you still have older Help files that you would like to access on a Windows 10 operating system, then perhaps WinHlp32 could come in handy.

I have no idea what your answer means.

A search for winhlp32.exe shows a few locations for the x-86

version and a few locations in windows.old for the amd-64 bit

version. (I am using and have only used a 64-bit computer

When will I be able to download a 64-bit version for windows 10?

Well, there is a winhlp32.exe in the windows directory of Windows 10, and it is not the same file as the one from Wndows 8.1, so I assume it is installed by WIndows 10. BUT — It does not work! Trying to open a .hlp file or executing winhlp32.exe just opens the default browser with this page: https://support.microsoft.com/da-dk/kb/917607

Please fix support for winhlp32.exe — don’t let this be yet another cause to make me regret ever «up»grading to Windows 10.

PeterMad2, check out this thread; it contains a workaround that will let you execute the Windows 7 version of WinHlp32 — and it works. Very frustrating that MSFT doesn’t have this working natively, but at least this should get you operational again.

Look for the post by DM4HIRE, and follow the directions. When you download the CAB file, open it, extract the contents, and then edit the INSTALL.CMD file per the instructions in DM4HIRE’s post. Run the CMD as Administrator. Voila!
