Extended help relative path

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I am creating a CUIx file for a .bundle folder and everything is going smoothly except for the extended help.

 

When I set extended help using CUI dialog box, it shows the absolute path. Therefore, it works on my machine but if copied the bundle folder to another machine it won't work.

 

How can I set it to a relative path?

 

Note: I thought about setting the absolute path to %appdata% folder but I don't think it is the right way to do it.

 

 

Thanks

Hi again,

 

There's an approach described on the ADN DevBlog that shows how to update the CUIX file to contain a relative path:

I haven't tried it myself, but hopefully it'll be of some use to you. If nothing else it confirms that the "out of the box" support is for absolute extended help paths.

 

Regards,

 

Kean
