Launching external program from .CHM

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a compiled Html Help file (.CHM) that launches external program and
it works well on Win XP, but not on Vista.

The code is like this:
<OBJECT id=hhctrl type="application/x-oleobject"
classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11" width=100 height=100>
<PARAM name="Command" value="ShortCut">
<PARAM name="Item1" value=",rundll32.exe,shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL MAIN.CPL">
</OBJECT>

It would be very much appreciated if someone could let me know if there is
any way to solve this issue.

Thanks!

Your milage may vary, but I'd take that problem to a forum at
http://gotdotnet.com or an msdn forum on help or Vista, or the msdn public
groups. I encourage you to use the one click MSFT Help NNTP newsreader
available in Vista's Win Mail, which should enable many more people to reach
these groups and can prevent the duplication bug you're seeing because the
MSFT employees blue badges or orange badges who tend the community web html
interface haven't been able to find their ass with both hands to get off it
to fix it in months.

I'm referring to microsoft.public.msdn.general and if you need a direct web
link, this will do it:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.msdn.general?hl=en


For example, in this list, I see 21 Vista groups, 108 General Groups, and
other groups that might solve your problem:

Cordially,
