How to install JavaHelp??

[RafHeyl]

Dear all,

After compiling JavaHelp with RoboHelp for Word I get the following message:
'Please install the latest version of JavaHelp'

I tried a lot of things but I didn't succeeded.
-copying the JH2.0 folder to many related dir's.
-copying the content of JH.2.0 (BIN/LIB) to related dir's.
-installing/reinstalling JDK, SDK, JRE...
-reÔnstalling robohelp
-attempt to define the necessary variables (PATH, JHHOME,...)

Can someone tell me how to install JavaHelp properly?


(PS I use word 2003)

Welcome to the forum

I cannot help you with installing it for RoboHelp for Word but there is information about making it with RoboHelp HTML on my site.

Maybe you can adapt that.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your quick response.
Your website is not new for me. I tried to solve the problem by executing the 9 steps you describe: http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/javahelp/javahelp.htm...
But unfortunately, without any luck.
I don't know what the problem is, I guess maybe something with:
-The location of the JavaHelp BIN and LIB folder. There is no executable, no installer? Where do I need to save these folders? Do I need to add them to another folder?
-The environment variables: I created two new variables (JHHOME and JAVA_HOME). I added both of them to the PATH variable by adding something like: "%JHHOME%C:\SUN;" Is that correct?
-Installation of the SDK folder?
-Versions of the Java software? I installed: JDK1.6.0_03, JH2.0, JRE1.6.0_03

Greets,
Raf

What I know is in that topic. I would suggest you sit down with a developer or someone with more knowledge of this area.
