Foxhelp index and search pane is empty and not working

Hello,

I have VFP6 and VFP8 in my notebook under Windows XP SP2. There was an error opening any html help: "Cannot Open the File: Mk:@MSITStore:<any>.chm"

I found in one of the forum the next commands to do in the CMD window:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\hhctrl.ocx <press enter>
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\itss.dll <press enter>

After them the foxhelp and any other html help is working, but the index pane and search pane is not working or empty in foxhelp, but in Windows and in any other (Office) help working and not empty. I cannot found how to resolve this problem to foxhelp. Can anybody help me

Thx. for Your advices.

Sandor

    Ths thread helped me with a similar problem.

    To get index and search to work, I did the following:

    regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\itircl.dll

    Hello Alex,

    Thank You for your advice, by the linked topic I executed the following commands:

    regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\vfp\foxhhelpps8.dll"

    and
    "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\vfp\foxhhelp8.exe" /regserver

    After the regsvr32... I get a message window about successful registering, after the second command was nothing (It is normal ), and I restarted the notebook,

    but they did not resolve the problem: in the VFP8 foxhelp the index pane is still empty, and in the search pane I cannot found anything.
