Codegear RAD Studio help system is corrupted

Question

I've been using Codegear RAD Studio for a over a year now but since the "May08 Help Update" the help system no longer works. If I open the help the contents pane is entirely blank. If I hit F1 I get the following error: "Unable to interpret the specified HxC file."

I've searched for the answer using search engines and the Codegear forums but so far nothing seems to fix the problem. I'd rather not do a full reinstall if possible. Has anyone else experienced this issue and know how to fix it?

Answer 1

You probably got a corrupted file from the download. I would try download again and reinstall the help.

Answer 2

It sounds like you need to do a complete uninstall/reinstall. Alas.

Be sure to check http://docs.codegear.com for the latest in Delphi help. On that site you can also download the Delphi 2007 help in various forms, including PDF and CHM.
