Help topics missing Version 4.40.0.0

When I select Help --> Help Topics I am brought to the MAS90\Launcher Windows folder. Is this an install issue?

 

Also, is there any other place where there is documentation on the Customizer? I found a PDF from version 3.7x and a little help here and there on the forums.

Version 4.4.0.0 ? Why didn't you load Service Update 1?

OK, I am now on 4.40.0.1 and still have the same issue. This is just a test environment with the just sample companies. Maybe I'm missing something else...  Help --> Technical Support,  Tutorial and About all work.

Hmmmm, mine opens fine.

 

Can you try rerunning the workstation setup?

Re: Help topics missing Version 4.40.0.0

OK, I think it has something to do with my specific OS. I am running Windows 7 x64. It works fine on the 32bit server. This is just a test install, so it's no big deal. There is most likely something about x64 and I shouldn't be using it, but I have not come across it yet.

ok, I just tried the same in MAS90 version 4.30 with Windows 7 64 bit and it did the same things yours did! (i tested originally on my XP pc).

Re: Help topics missing Version 4.40.0.0

I see the help files were install in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Sage\Common Components\Help

I tried moving them to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sage\Common Components\Help, but that didn't work.

I'll fool with it later on. Maybe you have some ideas as to where it is trying to load the HelpCenter.chm from.

I think its something to do with Windows security as to how .chm files are opened. I'm going to check on the microsoft KB too.

Re: Help topics missing Version 4.40.0.0

Did you try to change this key in the registry

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions\MaxAllowedZone

 

To value 4?

Or, you might be able to right-click on the file choose Properties, and choose "unblock".
