Topic: Installing ObjectARX help into Visual Studio Express

[fxcastil]

I am not able to see any ObjectARX help files from inside Visual Studio Express.
It seemed to install correctly and the install said ARX help is being intergrated into Visual Studio.
I palyed around with the help manager but I don't see where to add ARX help to Visual Studio menus?

See attached files

I have not tried the ObjectARX 2012 Help Integration install, but I do know that the ObjectARX 2013 Help Integration install does work with Visual Studio 2010 Express.

You might want to verify that you are using offline Help:
1. Launch Visual C++ 2010 Express or Visual Basic 2010 Express.
2. From the menu bar, click Help > Manage Help Settings.
3. In the Help Library Manager dialog box, click Choose Online or Local Help.
4. Click I Want to Use Local Help and click OK.
5. Click Exit.
6. Press F1 and click the Contents tab.

That should show the ObjectARX and other offline Help topics.

I am not able to select the option to use local help??
The help files on the 2nd screen are installed but I can set them to local??

Can someone please provide a screen capture of the - choose online help or local help screen, I want to see where the help files are located on another VS install.

Your location and settings appear to be correct... what does the Help Viewer look like after it is launched?

If I enable help, it takes me to online help.

Did you notice that the OK button for choosing OFF-line help is NOT selectable.

I have removed all help files and re-installed them, but still no Local help.

Offline Help is set by the installer.  Can you post an image of what the Help window looks like, not the Settings dialog boxes?
