You can check this page for a detailed explanation: The CHM documentation format only displays the table of contents without any topic content Re-build this CHM help file, or convert it to another format This can also happen when the file has been downloaded from the Internet and the file's property panel will show an "Unblock" button in that case.Īnother possible explanation is that the file path contains symbols such as "#" (sharp) which somehow confuses the Microsoft HTML help viewer. Usually this problem comes from the fact that the CHM help file is placed on a networked or mapped drive: the easiest solution is to move it to a local hard drive. No interface - just enter this into a command prompt or PowerShell window and amend as necessary.

The hh.exe is the viewer for CHM files in Windows and can not only display CHM files but also extract CHM files. You'll lose all the CHM's features like TOC (Table of Contents), Index and Search if you decide to use pure HTML format. Please note - all HTML files are already stored in the CHM file and are only added as an external file for very special use cases. *.hhc (TOC) and in the case of previous use *.hhk (index) are decompiled. It’s not always possible to recover all files and data you need in particular the project file *.hhp. If you really decide to decompile there are different ways.

So search for the unblock button of the ZIP file first.īut sometimes you only have the CHM output file and nobody can locate the source files. The blank screen you see may be a problem on your work computer because the CHM resides on the company network drive.Īnother cause could be that you did not unblock the PsTools.zip first after the download (you mentioned ".there is no "unblock" button in the file properties as referenced in other solutions"). It does not have to be decompiled if this problem is solved first. The short story - I think it is a long known security problem with blocked content of the CHM file.
