Dear  Hans Leidekker,

Thanks for such a quick response. I made a test application in VC++ for
launching the pdf help. I have pasted the function responsible for launching the
help.

void CMainFrame::OnHelp() 
{
    MessageBox("140");
    long temp = (long)ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "Thai.pdf", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
    CString strTemp1;
    strTemp1.Format("%d", temp);
    MessageBox(strTemp1,MB_OK);	
}

I ran the application as 
WINEDEBUG=exec <exec_name>

Its giving me the following messages on console. As per the output i feel
association is done properly but shell execute is returning 2 that mean file not
found. Although i have pasted the file properly.
