Tech: Open HTML Help via Network

May 26, 2006

I used doxygen to generate HTML help files from MS Visual Studio by using Kings' tool download from Code Project website, but when I put the outputs to the network and opened the help file, it said "Action Cancelled". This happened because Windows does not allow opening a network HTML help file, unless we specifically allow the file.

To solve the problem, we need to register the help file. This can be done intuitively by HHReg software, which is freely available at http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/make_chm_files_info/.
