Cannot Use 2007 Office Resource Kit Technical Library in Compiled Help format

[Stewart Berman]

I downloaded the 2007 Office Resource Kit Technical Library in Compiled Help format, double clicked
on it, cleared the Always ask before opening this file check box and clicked Open.

All I got was a window with a little icon in the top left. How do I get this to display properly?

If the file's on a network drive, move it to the local HDD and give it another try.

It is on a primary partition of a local IDE drive.

I forgot to mention:
Windows XP SP3 with all patches
Internet Explorer 7

OK ...

Do you recall the URL where you found it? I've got an ORK but it's in Word format.
I wouldn't mind trying the CHM version out if you can point me at it.

A mailto link? Not much use, I'm afraid.

 

[Stewart Berman]

It is a link to a message in the microsoft.public.outlook news group not a mailto link.

Or search the group for a message with the same subject as this one.

OK, but I asked for the URL where you found the Technical library compiled help file.

 

[Stewart Berman]

The link is:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...68-7f7d-42d8-a868-e518f7edf726&displaylang=en

But the file is known to be broken.

OK, I see what you mean. Pardon the misunderstanding; I thought you meant that the fact
that it won't work in some cases was known. My bad.
