Windows 10: Winhlp32.exe

I am using Windows 10 1903, Office 97. If I try to use Clippy, I get the browser with Winhlp32.exe required. But Winhlp32.exe does not support Windows 120, is there a way to solve it?

Winhlp32.exe and Windows 10

Enabling Winhlp in Windows 10

To enable Winhlp to work in Windows 10, follow these simple instructions.

• Download the updated Winhlp32 installation files, which are compressed into a zip file (winhlp32-windows-7-10-x86-64.zip) from the following link: winhlp32-windows-7-10-x86-64.zip
  
• Extract the contents of of the file you just downloaded (winhlp32-windows-7-10-x86-64.zip)
  
• Run the Install.cmd as Administrator by right-clicking on Install.cmd, then select Run as Administrator.
  
• Acknowledge any privilege warnings and allow Install.cmd to proceed.

That is all there is to it. You now you have Winhlp working in windows 10!

 

Winhlp32.exe on Windows 10

Please NOTE: When we sneak a working version of WINHLP32.EXE onto Windows 10, it will cause 1016 Errors upon Restarting. I suspect these errors can be ignored, especially if you don't activate WINHLP32.EXE by clicking on a HELP file or evoking it from
a legacy program. WINHLP32.EXE will remain in RAM, once it is called. That point may create a weakness or Backdoor for accessing the OS (Windows 10 build 1511). After you've finished using WINHLP32.EXE, I recommend rebooting to remove its stub from RAM.

 

WinHlp32.exe support in WINDOWS10

Hi,

We have some content to display which is in .hlp format. We are using WINHELP() API to display the help content which worked fine till windows xp and windows 7.

We see now that winhlp32.exe is deprecated in windows 10 and content is not displayed when used WINHELP() API. I have read the microsoft documentation about WINHELP() API and nowhere it is mentioned that this API is obsolete.

With some research i have found that there is another winhlp32.exe which is located in
C:\Windows\WinHelp. After copying winhlp32.exe from "C:\Windows\WinHelp" to "C:\Windows", my issue is resolved. i.e WINHELP() API is displaying the help content as we replaced the winhlp32.file.

Can you please suggest us, Is this the right way of doing it or any other better solutions which can resolve the issue?

Ours is legacy code which is being continuing from ages.

Thanks,
