    Default Extended help relative path

    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

    In the CUIx, try NOT specifying a path at all, just use the help file's name. In your .bundle's PackageContents.xml file, specify the .bundle's relative path as part of your SupportPath XmlAttribute instead. This *should* add the appropriate SupportPath to SFSP, which allows the help file to be 'found' for you at runtime; example:

    Code:
    <!-- snip -->
    	<Components>
    		<RuntimeRequirements OS="Win32|Win64" Platform="AutoCAD*" SeriesMax="R20.1" SeriesMin="R20.0" SupportPath="./Contents/MyHelpFileFolder" />
    		<!-- ComponentEntryHere -->
    	</Components>
    <!-- snip -->

    Thanks for your help, but I am asking about tooltip extended help as in the attached picture (taken from CUI dialog box).

    Should this be part of packagecontents.xml file or a separate file?
