Board index » delphi » Delphi2007 after Update3 - Help is gone

I did a fresh install of D2007, started once...
Delphi requested me to get update #3 - I did it...
After the install a reboot was requested, which I did.
After that I started Delphi, loaded my project and everything's working as
expected - except one little thing - no help is available.
I looked into my help dir in "d:\Develop\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\Help"
and I found two directories: Doc and Win32
Doc has files (summed up 134k) and Win32 has files (sum 309k)
Strange...
Can I run the installer again in repair-mode?
What else can I do?
BR & TIA

Help_Setup.exe and you can run this again directly to install help.
I'm having the team investigate why this is occuring. I have a theory
about non C:\ installs that needs to be tested in detail. However,
other folks seemed to re-install the help just fine by using the
standalone installer.

Hello,
the help installation can be unpacked from the 7zip files and run manually.

files to folder :
"C:\Documents and Settings\Ac\Local Settings\Application
Data\{6AF0EFC6-B937-4704-A430-319EB93F4C12}\help system
installer\mFileBagIDE.dll\bag" (which contains help_setup.exe and help
related 7zip files.)
I manually put 7zip files which look related with help sytem to this
folder and execute help_setup.exe and it worked.
