Tech Tip: Installing RB WinHelp

WinHelp

Delphi 7 and prior use WinHelp.

In order to manually 'uninstall' the ReportBuilder help:

1. Use the Windows Explorer to locate the following directory:  C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help
2. Use NotePad to open the following file in this directory: Delphi7.cnt
3. Search in this file and remove this line:

      

   ;ReportBuilder
   :Include rbuilder.cnt
   :Index ReportBuilder=rbuilder.hlp

      

4. Save changes and close the file.
5. Use NotePad to open the next file: Delphi7.ohi
6. Search this file and remove these lines:

      

   ;ReportBuilder
   :Index ReportBuilder=rbuilder.hlp
   ;RAP 
   :Index RAP=RAP.hlp
   ;ReportBuilder Server
   :Index ReportBuilder Server=rbserver.hlp

      

7. Save changes and close the file.
8. Use NotePad to open the next file: Delphi7.ohl
9. Search this file and remove these lines:

      

   ;ReportBuilder
   :Link rbuilder.hlp
   ;RAP
   :Link rap.hlp
   ;ReportBuilder Server
   :Link rbserver.hlp

      

10. Save changes and close the file. 

You should now be able to access the Delphi help.  Try re-installing ReportBuilder to get the ReportBuilder help working correctly...
