Confirming the bug. With native hhctrl.ocx it opens fine (note , to use native
hhctrl.ocx and get it working you also have to set the fakeie6 key)

I'm not sure if I should add another application here or file a new bug.

There's another application from AppDB with similar problem - help file opens
in Windows and does not in Wine (tested with wine 0.9.58).

Application name is Vatowiec
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5787)
can be downloaded for free from http://pk.inet.pl/brv_prg.htm (direct link:
http://pk.inet.pl/br32.exe). 
Application is developed with CA-Visual Objects.

Try latest wine, and possibly also the patch in the last part of bug 11690?

The help button in LV_Checkboxes.zip works fine with with my 11690-mod'ed wine,
and it works with 0.9.59 but doesn't show the index page. I think the problem
with LV_Checkboxes is identical to bug 11690.

br32.exe seems to have a different problem with the "?" button - 
HtmlHelpW() receives L"...\VATowiec.chm>Start"

I think I can fix this. Will attach patch.

patch to fix help button for comment 2

This patch fixes the help button problem with http://pk.inet.pl/br32.exe
mentioned in comment 2.

The original application for which this is filed, LV_Checkboxes.zip, just needs
attachment 11924 from bug 11690 to work.

The patch is strictly-speaking not correct because
the url can be "file::topic>windows_type"
and one should strip ">garbage" before ::topic, rather than after. 
(if both are present, that is - that's why it currently works).

Will do another patch and send to wine-patch later.

My patch in comment 7 has a colison with wine 1.3.24 recently. A better fix
than mine was committed:

commit 3414d0ea0e8fe8cbd5f4ee090e0673620ffd36ab
Author: Aric Stewart 
Date:   Wed Jun 29 10:51:05 2011 -0500

hhctrl.ocx: Improve parsing of incoming file specs to HtmlHelp.

there is some minor issue with the result (will file separate bug, unlike this
last time, which seems to be forgotten), but am glad I can remove VAToviec
(which was install for this and I don't read polish) now.
