Help shows "page not found"
« on: April 01, 2006, 03:43:50 pm »
When I try to access the help file, either from within EA or by launching the .chm separately, every attempt to view content results in page not found.  I had some instructions for trying to solve this problem but I can't access them from my current location.  Anyone know a good way to attack this problem?

You can download the PDF or use the online help from Sparx site.

Yes I can, but I'd still like to be able to access help from within the application, and the only help that doesn't work seems to be EA.

Not heard of anything similar. Maybe a Windoze issue?

There is an issue with a Windows security update that stops .chm files being viewed over a network.

Could this be the problem?

Edit: I get 'Action Canceled' in that situation, so it's probably not that.

There was a Windows security update last June [KB896358] that prevented opening .chm files from network drives. If that's your problem, you can either copy the help file to a local drive or remove the security update.

More info: Microsoft Security Bulletin
