    Hi Barry,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I checked out the CodeSite5.chm file and it worked fine for me. I then downloaded the zip file from the link above just to make sure something didn’t happen to the file during the zipping/uploading process. I downloaded the zip file to my system and saved it to a shared drive that my VM has access to.

    Sure enough, when I opened the help file, I did see the issues that you described. That is, the table of contents is displayed, but the content view pane is empty. Very odd indeed.

    Then I remembered that the CodeSite5.chm file was located on a network drive (from the point of view of my VM) and so I moved the file to a directory on the VM’s local drive. Then the help file was opened correctly. I believe the content display issue is a result of the Windows HtmlHelp viewer and not the help file itself, as I see the same issue with other *.chm files on a network drive.

    Where precisely is the CodeSite5.chm file located on your system?
