Robohelp 2019 classic : links to pdf documents do not work anymore in CHM

Question

Hello,In the past a could perfectly insert a hyperlink in a topic to a pdf document I placed in the shared resource directory. link to file, Display in new window. The file appears in the bagage files. And clicking on the link opened up the file in kind of browser. Not sure since when but my actual configuration (win11, projectfiles in a one drive directory) doesn't work.Nothing is happening when clicking on the linkwhen opened from within robohelp 'view result' or primary output view, nothing happens. When using the file explorer I get this messageI tried a file name without spaces but got the same resultTried the same chm on a different machine (an RDP server with IE explorer still being present) and there the pdf file is shown in the IE browser which is still installed.So I suspect there is something wrong in between the creation of the chm the link and the presence of IE as browser.Does any one have a solution? best regardsOlivier

Pretty sure this is a Windows issue & not a RH one. CHMs are so ancient these days that getting them to work in more secure environments is proving to be difficult.
