MSDN installation and use skills
First, Xinsi:
MSDN's mounting disk has two discs, which can be used only 400m after installation, and then compress it only 239m. For this purpose, it can be easily installed when it is required to be compressed on the CD.
Second, explore:
1. The compressed MSDN will be extracted into the same directory as the original directory, can be used normally after Win98. MSDN cannot be used when the MSDN is installed to a new directory or does not have MSDN's WIN98 system, according to the trace observation of Hh.exe function, it is to access and update Windows / HH.DAT and Windows / Help / hhcolreg .dat (later version moves the storage location of this file to "/ Documents and Settings / All Users / Application Data / Microsoft / HTML Help /" directory).
2, and in registration information: If you have an MSDN library, use the regedit utility to find the location of the msdnxxx.col file in the system registry, its registry key value is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / HTML HELP Collections / Developer Collection This is here that Microsoft Stores the HTML Help Help file set. Language entry will be listed under this key value, which means which language is used in the information collection. Typical values such as 0x0409 represent English, each language is represented by different values. The next key value is what you want: that is, what is the current MSDN preferred collection. Typical values, such as: 0x0393A0C80, this value is different depending on the MSDN to be installed. It is next to FileName, which specifies the physical storage location of the msdnxxx.col file on the hard disk.
3, Win98 and Win2K version of the file HH.DAT, hHCOLREG.DAT, registry, msdnvs98.col has been given, please refer to the modification (different from the directory in the registry and the preferred value of the MSDN, pay attention to the difference!), Especially MSDNVS98.COL files Chapter 6
Third, the question:
The hhcolreg.dat provided when MSDN is installed is copied into the Windows / Help directory, and the HH.DAT file is copied into the Windows directory. If the Decompressed MSDN directory is not in the original directory, change the corresponding "Location Directory" in the hhcolreg.dat file as the newly decompressed directory, and then use it normally.
Fourth, add:
The two hhcolreg.dat files are provided in this compression package mainly used for comparison reference. Recently, as long as one of them is named hhcolreg.dat, and copy the original file in the Windows / Help directory, then Open with a text editor, all of which involve directory is changed to the new directory that decompresses the MSDN compression, and can be used after saving.
