Recently installed Delphi 2007 and then upgraded to your 6.24 libraries.
After upgrading, the first time I selected Delphi Help , it recompiled the help files and now only displays your help. Have others experienced this problem?

Hi,
Please provide the <DX_ROOT>\Setup\H2Reg_Log.txt file to help us understand what is going wrong in your system.
Thanks,
Serge
Dear Ken,
We have examined the LOG files received from our other users who encountered the same problem and don't see any problem there. In the meantime, please note that the Express Install sets up a filter "Developer Express VCL Products" to show the documentation for our components. Please make sure to set the "Filtered By" combo in the documentation browser to "No Filter".
Thanks,
Serge
The "No Filter" option is no longer available, neither are any filters that are no DevExpress. I've ended up having to re-install Delphi so I now have the Delphi but no DevExpress help!
Cheers,
Ken
Hi Ken,
It seems that the problem is caused by the MSHelp2 filter registration routine. This routine worked fine with the previous Delphi versions and now it doesn't under D2007. Currently, we provide a workaround to the problem and hope to fully retain the filter functionality under D2007 in the near future.
Unzip the attached file to the installation folder (%DXVCL%). Before performing the next step, we recommend that you reboot your machine to make sure there's no running dexplore.exe processes. Go to the %DXVCL%\Setup folder and run fix.bat. Open the Delphi documentation and check whether the '(No Filter)' filter option is present. Use this option to access all help topics registered for D2007.
Please let us know if this solution helps.
Thanks,
Alex.
The upcoming build 25 will contain fixed registration files for all our products. Before this build is out, you need to perform the above steps every time your installation is repaired or reinstalled under D2007.
Hi Ken,
We have just released update 25 which contains the fix to this problem. Please install it and tell us whether the new libraries solve the problem at your end.
Thanks in advance,
Serge
