I just upgraded from 1.5 to the latest 2.0. There was no "help File" or subdirectory.
I copied the help directory over from my 1.5 folder with no results.
Help File
Re: Help File
The help files have been integrated into the OS help topics system. They are still there, but buried in the application bundle files.

But how do I get to them? I have a utility that was able to parse the install executable, but in the root there's a large piece of data named [0] that can't be further opened. I tried reinstalling, but it was no help.

The help menu. The help files are not supposed to be accessed directly.MalcolmMor wrote:But how do I get to them?

Ah, there's our disconnect.jeff wrote:The help menu. The help files are not supposed to be accessed directly.
This started because I clicked on "help" and got no result. So it's not files that didn't get copied, but that my Help function isn't working.
Re: Help File
Yes, that could pose a problem. Here is how the help window should look when you open it on Windows 10:

Re: Help File
I downloaded and installed BeerTools Pro 2.0.14 in Windows 7 and tested the help menu. The help topics viewer came up so I am unable to duplicate the problem you are experiencing. Perhaps the issue is with Windows. The name of the program that launches is the Microsoft® HTML Help Executable. More information can be found on the Microsoft developer site:

Re: Help File
I downloaded and installed version 2.0.14 and am having the same problem with not being able to access the help files. When I click the "BeerTools Pro Help" menu button nothing happens. I can open the file if I go directly to the file in the Resources folder and open the file directly.
