At best it is normal... Component may be "programs", but please try to answer the following first to see where the problem might come from. 1. Where is the help file located? (Please search it and report the path.) 2. Does "./wine winhlp32 <path/name>.hlp" work? 3. What was the command to get the logs? Did you run Access or did you run winhlp32 directly? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

The logs come when running Access; what I have not written is that the error dialog offer to manually select the .hlp file, if we do that it does work (we even get the right page in the second case! - the second attachment). Directly running winhlp32 also works.

Could you check the other bugs please and verify if it is a dupe of one of those?

Could please describe in details how are you trying to open help file, where it is located? Do you mean that this registry key serves as search path that's used if help file is not found in other locations, like current directory for example? What's important is to figure out correct search order. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
