How to install Help for ODAC 6

MaBuSE · Post by **MaBuSE** » Wed 21 Nov 2007 09:48

Hi,
we have ODAC v6.0 pro.
After updating Delphi all Help of the 3rd party Components is gone.
In the install Directory are 3 Executables.
I think InnovaHxReg.exe it the help installer.
But I don't know the right parameters.

Can anybody post the right parameters to install the help in Delphi 2007 for Win32

The Install Dir:

HelpReg.exe
InnovaHxReg.exe
OdacReg.exe

The Doc Dir:

CRControls.HxA
CRControls.HxC
CRControls.hxs
CRControls.HxT
CRControlsF.HxK
CRControlsK.HxK
CRControlsN.HxK
Odac.HxA
Odac.HxC
Odac.hxs
Odac.HxT
OdacF.HxK
OdacK.HxK
OdacN.HxK

Thanks for help
Mark

Why? Is there a problem with your Help Files?

CodeGear and most of the 3rd party Tools use h2reg to register Help Files. ( $(BDS)\Help\Doc\h2reg.exe )
h2reg requires an ini file for all parameters.
So you can reinstall help every time. ( h2reg -r cmdfile=Helpfile.ini )
Your tool use no ini file to store all parameters.

I think your Setup calls InnovaHxReg.exe directly with parameters.
The better way is to provide a *.bat file with all InnovaHxReg.exe calls in it. So you can reinstall help every time.

Can anybody provide the parameters for reinstalling help?

thanks a lot and kind regards
