winhlp32.exe for Vista
I have chased all over the place at Microsoft site for the file winhlp32.exe
but am unable to find it. They tell you all about it and don't give you a place to download the file. Are these people trying to play games or what?? This file is supposed to allow me to view help .hlp files in Vista. I feel like I am trying to maneuver a maze. Does anyone know where I can actually download this file for real??? TIA Caroline |

winhlp32.exe for Vista
I went to www.microsoft.com and typed in winhelp32.exe in the search box a
the top of the page, it took me to a page (http://search.microsoft.com/results....=winhelp32.exe) where I selected the first entry - Download details: WinHlp32.exe for Windows Vista and this brought up the download page (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en) and I pressed continue to verify I have a valid copy of windows and that took me to the actual download page (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...bXS2Sp1w%3d%3d) where down the page I select the version I want to download (Windows6.0-KB917607-x64.msu or Windows6.0-KB917607-x86.msu). Don't know why this does not work for you. Tyro "Caroline" wrote in message ... I have chased all over the place at Microsoft site for the file winhlp32.exe but am unable to find it.

winhlp32.exe for Vista
Actually, it did work for me and I thank you and Rick. I was looking for
the file winhlp32.exe which of course I couldn't find and I did not recognize the extension .msu as being an executable file. I have the file now and apparently Vista recognizes the .msu. I appreciate your help. I've sent it to my network sharing folder where I will execute it tomorrow on my laptop. Gee, never thought I'd have this much trouble finding a measly little file like this. Again, thank you Tyro and also Rick. Caroline (the grateful one) ;o) "Tyro" wrote in message ...
