Can't get CHM to run off a network drive

Hello. I'm running RoboHelp 6 build 099 on Windows 2000 with
service pack 4 installed. My HTML Help file runs great from my hard
drive, but I can't get it to do much from a network drive. It
displays an ''Action canceled'' message upon opening, and the
navigation pane shows the correct entries for the TOC and index,
but clicking on a topic simply clears the window -- there's nothing
there.



What I've done so far: (1) Copied my .CHM file and the
hhactivex.dll file to a network directory, and (2) I registered
hhactivex.dll successfully (opened a CMD session, browsed to the
network directory containing the .chm, and did ''regsvr32
hhactivex.dll'' -- no errors). (3) I eventually stumbled onto the
c:\program files\adobe\robohelp 6.0\redist directory and
copied all files found there to the network directory. (This post
should have the contents of my redistrb.txt file below.) Same
results.



Any ideas on what to do next? Should I register the other
DLLs copied to the network in (3) above? (I hesitate to mess with
the registry if it's not necessary.) Weren't all these DLLs
registered during RoboHelp installation? I'm very grateful for any
help you can provide.

Hi Bruce. This is caused by a MS security patch. Check

Once again, Colum, thanks for the speedy response. I ended up
just copying the files down to the local hard drive.
