You asked for it, you got it: .chm builds of library content

  • Article

A frequent request from customers and partners is to create a download that contains all of the content from our technical library in compiled help format (CHM). Well, it took a while, but due to some positive changes in our authoring environment, we can now build .chm files of our content. Now live and available for your downloading and searching pleasure: Office SharePoint Server 2007 Technical Library in Compiled Help format.

We'll refresh monthly, and post the updates on our newly published content list, so check back and grab the hot, fresh content regularly. If you like this one, we'll do one for Windows SharePoint Services too.

Thanks for your feedback.

    Hello, all. I'm a tech editor on the IT Pro team, and we were wondering if an index would be useful in such .chm files.

    We use a proprietary authoring system developed in house.

    Hi - because CHM files can contain code or scripting, it is the same risk as allowing uploads of any other executable or batch file. If you are concerned about allowing CHM files to be uploaded, you can convert the file to a ZIP file before uploading, rather than unblocking all CHM files. For more info about storing different file types in SharePoint sites, see the blog post at: http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/01/02/is-the-file-server-dead.aspx.

    Just FYI, I tried opening the file on my Vista SP1 machine, and every page in the help file has been giving me a "The address is not valid" error. It'd be a great resource, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Any suggestions?
