Hi @,

When I'm calling the SCRIPT56.CHM for the Windows Scripting Host, the
follwing bug occurs:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the script on this page an error has appeared.

Line: 57
Characters: 2
Error: object necessary
Code: 0
URL:
mk:@MSITStore:C:\ScriptDocs\SCRIPT56.CHM::/html/vtoriMicrosoftWindowsScr
iptTechnologies.htm

Should this page be executed furthermore?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What can I do to prevent this? It is the only chm-file where this shit
happens on every page! All other compiled help files are working
properly.

THX in advance.

In addition this is the source in HTML from line 53 on:

<OBJECT ID="hhobj_8" TYPE="application/x-oleobject" CLASSID="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<PARAM NAME="Command" VALUE="ALink,MENU">
<PARAM NAME="DefaultTopic" VALUE="_chm_topic_not_found.htm">
<PARAM NAME="Item1" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="Item2" VALUE="scripting">
</OBJECT>

On line 106 this object is called only once:

<DT><A HREF="JavaScript:hhobj_8.Click()">Windows Script Interfaces</A></DT>

Here are a few suggestions that may help:

1) See if any of the suggestions at http://tinyurl.com/yw325 help. ("Error
in Windows Script Documentation", microsoft.public.scripting.wsh newsgroup,
March 19 - April 3 2002.)

2) Use Microsoft Critical Update 811630 to upgrade the help viewer
components. (This will upgrade the version of %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx
to 5.2.3735.x.) You can download the update from here:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811630

3) Use MJ's Help Diagnostics to check that all the help viewer components
are properly installed and registered.

http://helpware.net/downloads/index.htm#MJs

(The only section of the MJ's Help Report that is relevant to your problem
is the one headed "HTML Help Run-time Components".)

4) Delete or rename the file hh.dat, which you should find in this hidden
subdirectory:

\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\HTML Help

The hh.dat file stores user-specific information on all the help files on
your system (favourite topics, etc.), and can cause the files to misbehave
if it has somehow been corrupted. Windows will create a new version of
hh.dat when you next open any .chm file.

5) Empty your Temporary Internet Files directory (in Internet Explorer,
Tools > Internet Options > General tab > Delete Files). A full TIF directory
can cause the help files to misbehave.
