There is also one other case where you can experience this: If you mail or otherwise send a CHM file via the Internet, Windows will notice this and will automatically block the CHM as a security measure. In the current version of Help+Manual you also have the option of using the new EWriter format, which combines the benefits of CHM and WebHelp and eliminates the disadvantages of both:ĬHM files sent by email or downloaded directly: However, since H&M makes it very easy to publish the same project to both CHM and WebHelp (it's just a question of selecting a different output format when you compile) it's no problem to produce different version for each scenario: HTML Help for help that must be installed on local computers and WebHelp for help on networks. Programmers can solve the problem by adding code to their applications to make a local copy of the CHM file on the user's computer and then making their help calls to this copy. For help accessed on networks or the Internet you need to use WebHelp accessed in a browser. They are now exclusively a local format that can only be used for documenting software installed directly on local drives. This is for security reasons, because of the unrestricted support for ActiveX in the CHM viewer, which would make them a powerful malware vector. CHM files have been banned on network drives, external drives and the Internet for many years, ever since Windows XP SP2.
You and every other user of Microsoft Windows everywhere in the world.
