I download the SDK CHM file, but can't open it, why?

(1/2) > >>

ollydbg:
These days, I'm trying to do something to help developing C::B, so I download the sdk document from:

http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/codeblocks_sdk_doc_r5046.chm

But, I can't open it. My system is windows XP and I don't have any problem with my networks and Internet explorer.

By the way, it seems this is the latest sdk document for developers. Is there another one? I think it is very important to understand the structure of the sdk and the source code.

Here is the screenshot. non of the pages can be viewed.

One reason is illegal characters in your path (e.g. a hash '#'). Place the documentation in a short path (e.g. C:\Temp) and tell me if it works...

Another reason might be: Downloaded CHM files are locked by default by Windows due to virus paranoia. You can enable the use of them somehow using a registry patch. But I forgot how I did this... :-(

PS.: I KNOW this sounds weird. But trust me: It's true.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I tried the first method, even I change its path to the "c:\a.chm", it still can't work.

But Google gives me the method which does some patch to registry.


--- Code: ---REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000003

--- End code ---

Then, it works!

Thank you very much. :D

Yes - that's the one I was referring to... We should put this into the WiKi...

ollydbg:
Yes, you are right. The wiki page should be extended.
I add some comments on here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Talk:Developer_documentation

Any suggestions? Thanks.
