Peghelp.exe not available

[Guest]

Hi, my application show help files using PegHelp application.

Unfortunately on one device this application is not available. Is it
possible to install it in some way ?

I've tried to copy from another device but it's not possible to copy system
files.

What can I do ?

Thank you in advance.

What is the device in question? Peghelp is included with Pocket PC but not
present on Smartphone, and of course due to it's modular nature generic
Windows CE based devices can vary greatly. If the device is a Smartphone you
have to display help content in Pocket IE or build it into your application
in some other way. If it's a generic CE device speak to the OEM.

Thank you for the answer. The OEM told me that they have removed to reduce
the time of system restart and because for them was not necessary.

Anyway, is there a way to workaround the problem and install manually
peghelp ?

Otherwise I've to try to build a help viewer by my-self by using the
component include in OpenNETCF. Do you know if this way is practicable ?

Thank you in advance.

No, it's not installable. If the OEM will not put it into the device for
you, you'll have to find another way to do whatever it is that you're trying
to do. No, the OpenNETCF component I'm thinking of, at least, uses PEGHELP,
so, if it's not there, basing your code on OpenNETCF won't help.

You can use a WebBrowser control to view the .htm file, however it won't
support the paging that peghelp does, the file will just appear as one long
web page, however the links between topics will still work. Having peghelp
added to the platform would be a cleaner solution.
