SUMMARY
When you invoke HTML Help through the IDisplayHelp::ShowTopic method your HTML Help topic may not display properly. Your ShowTopic call may correctly navigate to the correct page, but the relative links may be incorrect.

MORE INFORMATION
The Platform SDK Help file for MMC IDisplayHelp::ShowTopic contains the following instructions:

For example, if the snap-in had the HTMLHelp file mysnapin.chm merged into the MMC HTMLHelp file, and a topic HTML file that had the internal helpfile path of htm/snphlp01.htm, the string would have the following form:

mysnapin.chm::htm/snphlp01.htm This syntax may result in the proper display of the Help topic, but may not allow any relative links to operate properly.

In order for your Snapin's HTML Help to have operational relative links, you may need to use the following syntax:

mysnapin.chm::/htm/snphlp01.htm

Note the extra "/" after the double colons.
