where can I download the new help files

I've upgraded to 12.2 & need the VTScada compiled HTML help files (VTScada_12_2.chm) for use with Notepad++. Can this be made available for download?

The help files are locally installed in your VTScada directory. Here is the default path to the html files:

C:\VTScada\VTSHelp

There are no *.chm files in C:\VTScada\VTSHelp or any of it's subdirectories.

Any progress on this Dave? If you're still not sure what I'm asking about please refer to page 4 of your scripting course.

Hey Mike,

I've checked and we don't have a version of those built but we have made the request for it to be done and will host it on our website once we have it built. Since the scripting course is Typically only offered in-person. I suspect the chm file referenced was built for that course.

That said, you have everything required to build your own version of the CHM file and there are a number of free product to do so.

Using C:\VTScada\VTSHelp and a product like 'Microsoft HTML Help', you should be able to build the chm file

Please pass my thanks along to whoever has "made the request for it to be done" and decided to "host it on our website once we have it built".

Can you let me know where these are at? If it's ready, please let me know where I can download this.

@mike_yung - Here is the link to the 12.2 chm for the help files:

http://vtscada.com/downloads/VTScada12_2.chm

Note that Windows has no trust for .CHM files so you will have to convince your browser to download it (Then check that it saved the file as .chm). Then you will need to right click the file, open the properties, and check the Unblock box. After that you will need to convince your PC to run it. Godspeed to you smile
