Note: The
installed HTML-based help system is in the process of being phased-out of support and will
no longer be available for new releases. For distributable documentation, see "Online
books."
You may distribute the Progress DataDirect HTML-based help system. If you
choose to distribute it, your installer must copy the driver's help system folder (for
example, install_dir\help\ConnectHelp) into the main installation directory.
Your installer must also put the key "HelpRootDirectory" into each driver section ofHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\
in the Windows Registry. The value of this key is install_dir\help\product_nameHelp, where
- install_dir
- is the installation directory.
- product_name
- is the abbreviated name of your driver or product. For example, MongoDB or Connect.
The help system is context-sensitive and is accessed through the help button on the driver setup dialogs. You can also display the help as a generalized system with a full table of contents and index. To do this, launch the index.html file that is located in the help directory. The help system is not branded and must not be modified in any way.
