Hi,

is this a bug or something wrong on my system. Each .chm file I collect in
a folder names "c#" can be opened but don't display any content. If I
rename the folder to "csharp" it runs fine.

If anyone can follow - is there a patch or so on available?

Thx
Maik

Maik ,

This is known issue, due to the way the hash/pound symbol (#) is interpreted
in HTML.
So if you open a file that is HTML based - such as complied HTML help file a
..chm, then you are effectively trying to open a HTML page with a # in the
path. This is interpreted to mean something else and thus you receive the
error.
The workaround is to not place .chm files in an folder where a # appears in
the path to it.
