hallo
I've downloaded from M$ a file called htmlhelp.exe from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....lpDownloads.asp

nobody know how to install it unattended?

As first thing i've launched installer (htmlhelp.exe) and i've copied the directory created in TEMP somewhere on my disk, then i've used the setup.exe inthere, with relative htmlhelp.inf.

I've menaged to comment out the part that are displaying the windows, change [CustomLDID49100]'s paths (always %ProgramFiles%) andDefaultInstallDir from "C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop" to "%ProgramFiles%\HTML Help Workshop", btw, at some times it fails to register the dll with this error:
Advanced INF Install

Error registering the OCX %49000%\itcc.dll


Here the modified htmlhelp.inf:

It seem to goes unattended until the error.
I think that there're some problem with hardcoded directories...they are hardcoded to "C:" and "\Program Files" and my installation should work also on other DRIVE & DIR

every help is a step forward
thank you

Hi,

In your modified .inf file you should uncomment CustomDestination=HHWDestinationDir in all [DefaultInstall] sections and change line 49000=CustomLDID49000, 1 into 49000=CustomLDID49000, 5

This should make your script working. Here's the article I used to find out about all these flags and other inf commands:

Perhaps someone can take it, but did you see the date of the post?
Just over 6 years ago.... :whistle:
