User (Legacy) Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Dear Support People, We use chart FX in our web server. Our end user have been complaining to us that when they click help button on ChartFX activeX control on their web pages they get the following message. 'Cannot find the c:\Program Files\CfxID\Help\ChartFX_GUI.hlp file. Do you want to try to find this file yourself?' How do I make sure that when they download the control it accompanies the help file as well? Is it possible at all? An early response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Malcolm Rasool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 The help file should be included inside your CAB file, if it is not, maybe you have an old version. Please get the latest CAB file from our support site. You should see the help file inside the CAB file. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks for you quick response as usual which always greatly appreciated. I did follow you suggestion by downloading latest service pack and indeed it has the help file in the CAB file. Then I removed the control using Internet Options... of IE. I was hoping that once I have downloaded the control again from the server that now has got the new CAB file, I as an end-user will be able to access help by clicking on the help button of ActiveX Control on the browser. Unfortunately, it still comes up with same message as before a below 'Cannot find the c:\Program Files\CfxID\Help\ChartFX_GUI.hlp file. Do you want to try to find this file yourself?' The only way I can avoid it by manually extracting file from the CAB into the \Help folder. Obviously End User can't be expected to do this. The ActiveX download should install the help file where it can find it. One thing I ought to mention here is that I am testing all this in my on PC prior to deployment. That is to say that Web Server in this case is my own PC and this is where the chartFX is also installed. Does this confuse the issue somehow? Am I missing something here?

User (Legacy) Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Please ignore my last query. When I tested it on a clean PC, it all seems to have worked. Sorry for wasting anytime on this.
