Your patience has been rewarded...

Earlier today, the Microsoft Help MVPs were given the news...Microsoft has released WinHelp for Windows Vista!

Some notes:

  • This release applies to Windows Vista x86 and x64 only, not Longhorn Server.
  • Knowledge Base article 917607 will be updated by Monday, 12 March 2007.
  • The Windows Help program is not included with any of the Vista operating systems. If you want to view a WinHelp file on Vista, you must download and install the application from the Microsoft Download Center.
  • The Windows Help program cannot be distributed.

About time! Not that I need it anymore. ;-) I drank the Kool-Aid and updated everything to CHM or another less prehistoric format long ago.

Microsoft announced the death of WinHelp in February 1998. Though it turned out the rumors of WinHelp's death were greatly exaggerated, I moved to HTML my very next project and have never really looked back.
