Why not stream the CHM in once from within your EXE using System.Net.WebRequest?
ie. When the user first presses F1, you check to see if the CHM is available
locally. If not you stream it down to the user's hard
drive, and then show it.
Best regards,
Ian

Hi,
Yeah that is also an option but chm file will be downloaded once,
and will be opened quickly once downloaded, while html files will increase
the response time. We are planning to use html files if chm file doesn't
work.
My application is a windows application (.NET exe) and user will be
launching it through browser, help will be provided on pressing F1 or by
Help Menu.
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
Why not to use simple html files?
See http://www.edonkey2000.com/documentation/index.html for an example.

Can anybody tell me how can I make a .chm file downloadable
from IIS without showing any warning message. I've got IIS
5.1 on Windows XP machine.
What I want exactly is to share my .NET application on a
remote server and let the user launch it through his web
browser. When I try opening help it tries to open abc.chm but
shows a warning message, which ask user for saving or opening
the file. In my application I'm using showHelp() method.
Thanks & Regards
