Need Winhlp32.exe

I know that that WinHelp is discontinued. No more included since Windows Vista. However, while Vista was still supported by Microsoft, I still could install it. Now, no more. Every time I got error in my Windows Vista related to run old software using winhlp32.exe, I am always directed to this Microsoft link. From there I can download a package file, name Windows6.0-KB917607-x86.exe. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to download the required file to run *.hlp file.

Now, I need that Windows Vista/Windows 7's WinHlp32.exe that I can copy and put manually to my C:\Windows. Where can I get it? Can someone help or share?

Windows has two types of help files. The older ones have .hlp as their file extension, and the newer ones .chm.

They may be downloaded from:

• The .hlp package as downloaded from Microsoft no longer works. One that works can be downloaded frommajorgeeks.

• The .chm one can be downloaded from MicrosoftHTML Help Workshop and Documentation .
