How do I install revit 2015 help file ?

I downloaded offline file but it was an Sfx archive. I get help.cab in the directory where the Sfx archive is.

How to make it actually work ??

Hi,

Extract from Autodesk help below:

1. To access Help offline or stored in another location

   Do the following

   1. Set UseHelpServer=0.
   2. If you want to use the local copy of Help, save changes to Revit.ini, and restart Revit.
   3. If you want to use a copy of Help stored in another location, add the setting HelpFileLocation, and specify the path or URL to the help system.

      [Documentation]
      UseHelpServer=0
      HelpFileLocation="M:\RevitResources\Help\en-US\WBH"
      HelpBrowser=0

2. Save changes to Revit.ini, and restart Revit.

To access local Help

From the software, press F1 to access context-sensitive help. When the software detects that you are working offline, it automatically accesses the locally stored help files and displays the appropriate help topic.

To open the Help system for browsing, do the following:

1. Navigate to the software installation folder: %ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\<product name and release>
2. From that location, navigate to the following folder: Help\en-US\WBH (or your language-specific equivalent).
3. In the WBH directory, double-click index.htm to open the landing page for the Help.

I did all that.

But extracting help.cab there was only index.dat & not index.html

I just added ".exe" to the end of the SFX file and it ran.
