UniDAC Version 6.4.14 Help using Make.bat

Post by FredS » Sun 11 Sep 2016 01:53

Hi,

First thank you for including TVirtualQuery, looking forward to checking it out.
Second, batch updates for FB3 have improved noticeably on my first test.

I altered the existing cmd file I have for installing Help files hoping that VirtualDAC would follow the same rules but this doesn't seem to work..

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Add new IDEs here
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Devart\UniDac]
"D23"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC"
"D24"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC"

; MUST be DOC folder, Help won't work
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\17.0\Help\HtmlHelp1Files]
"UniDAC Help"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\Doc\\UniDAC.chm"
"CRControls Help"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\Doc\\CRControls.chm"
"VirtualDAC Help"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\Doc\\VirtualDAC.chm"

; MUST be DOC folder, Help won't work
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\18.0\Help\HtmlHelp1Files]
"UniDAC Help"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\Doc\\UniDAC.chm"
"CRControls Help"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\Doc\\CRControls.chm"
"VirtualDAC Help"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\Doc\\VirtualDAC.chm"

Hello,

Help works on F1. In order to make help work from Delphi menu, you should add the following records to the registry

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Devart\UniDAC]
"D23"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Devart\VirtualDAC]
"D23"="D:\\VCL\\UniDAC\\"
In addition, in the UniDAC directory, rename the Help folder to Doc
