Tech Tip: Installing RB WinHelp
The ReportBuilder installation process installs the ReportBuilder help files and merges them with Delphi’s Help system.
WinHelp
Delphi 7 and prior use WinHelp.
In order to manually ‘uninstall’ the ReportBuilder help:
- Use the Windows Explorer to locate the following directory: C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help
- Use NotePad to open the following file in this directory: Delphi7.cnt
- Search in this file and remove this line:
;ReportBuilder :Include rbuilder.cnt :Index ReportBuilder=rbuilder.hlp
- Save changes and close the file.
- Use NotePad to open the next file: Delphi7.ohi
- Search this file and remove these lines:
;ReportBuilder :Index ReportBuilder=rbuilder.hlp ;RAP :Index RAP=RAP.hlp ;ReportBuilder Server :Index ReportBuilder Server=rbserver.hlp
- Save changes and close the file.
- Use NotePad to open the next file: Delphi7.ohl
- Search this file and remove these lines:
;ReportBuilder :Link rbuilder.hlp ;RAP :Link rap.hlp ;ReportBuilder Server :Link rbserver.hlp
- 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…
