DOC: MMC Help File Path Documented Incorrectly
This article was previously published under Q239117
When you invoke HTML Help through the IDisplayHelp::ShowTopic method your HTML Help topic may not display properly. Your ShowTopic call may correctly navigate to the correct page, but the relative links may be incorrect.
The Platform SDK Help file for MMC IDisplayHelp::ShowTopic contains the following instructions:
For example, if the snap-in had the HTMLHelp file mysnapin.chm
merged into the MMC HTMLHelp file, and a topic HTML file that
had the internal helpfile path of htm/snphlp01.htm, the string
would have the following form:
mysnapin.chm::htm/snphlp01.htm
This syntax may result in the proper display of the Help topic, but may not allow any relative links to operate properly.
In order for your Snapin's HTML Help to have operational relative links, you may need to use the following syntax:
mysnapin.chm::/htm/snphlp01.htm
Note the extra "" after the double colons.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
