[BTW: I'm running Visual C++ 6.0 (Visual Studio)... Thanks....

When I click on *some* links in the text on the help pages of Microsof
Visual Studio 6.0 for C++ I get an error dialog box with the title 'Interne
Explorer Script Error'. The dialog contents always go something like this
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - -
Line:

mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1
33\vccore.chm::/html/_core_.2f.gr_option.ht

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? (yes/no
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - -

I always click 'yes'

The error in the case above occured when I clicked on 'Run-Time Typ
Information' on the '/CR (Enable Run-time Type Information) help panel whic
can be found in the index as 'compiler option' under 'RTTI (run-time typ
information)'

File vccore.chm resides on my machine in directory 'C:\Progra
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033'. When I edit the file wit
wordpad I do find the string '_core_.2f.gr_option.htm'

Do I have to set an option somewhere for this to work

Thanks

Tom,

'Internet Explorer Script Error'.

If you also experience this problem when using the other help files on your
system then you may have a registry problem: the registry entries for the
HTML Help ActiveX control may be broken. A number of the security patches
and service packs that Microsoft released last year are known to cause this
problem, including the cumulative security patches for Internet Explorer and
service pack 4 (SP4) for Windows 2000.

The problem is described in Knowledge Base article 822989 and, in most
versions of Windows, installing Critical Update 811630 should sort it out.

822989: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822989
811630: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811630

The exception to this is Windows 2000 with SP4 installed. In this case you
must unregister the ActiveX control and then re-register it, by running the
following two commands from a command prompt:

regsvr32 /u <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
 
Thanks for the information

I'm on XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 1. I have lots of K and SP2-Q hotfixes installed, but not 811630

I'll try the fix
