WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

If WPHELP.EXE is started any other way than invoking it from the Windows Project Help menu, the Help window will only display a copyright and no index of topics will be available. Project Help must be started from Project’s Help menu.

Project’s Setup program does not install icons in Program Manager. If you then run the Setup Applications function of Windows Setup to make the icons, WPHELP.EXE will be found and an icon will be made for it. When this icon is executed, the Windows help engine is started. However, the help engine relies on the calling application to pass to it the name of the appropriate help file to use (WINPROJ.HLP, in this case). Therefore, the Help window will be blank.

Solution
The solution is to always start Help from the Help menu within Project.
