Viewing Downloaded Help Files
The help files contained in the project downloads may need to be unblocked before you can view their content. If you do not see any information in the content pane after opening a help file, do the following:
- Copy the help file to your hard drive and open it from there. Trying to view a help file from a network share can cause the content to be blocked.
- If a security dialog appears asking if you want to open the file, uncheck the "Always ask before opening this file" checkbox.
- If the file is still blocked, open Windows Explorer, right-click the CHM file, select Properties, and then click the Unblock option.
- Apply the file property changes and open the help file again.
