Message 1 (Error)

File [1] in Component [2] is a WinHelp file and may not be distributed to Windows Vista or later.

[1] is the name of an .hlp file in your project, and [2] is the name of the component that contains the .hlp file.

Message 2 (Error)

File [1] in Component [2] is a WinHelp run-time file and may not be distributed to Windows Vista or later.

[1] is the name of a Windows Help application file in your project, and [2] is the name of the component that contains that file.

Description

ISBP17 verifies that .hlp files are not included in your project because Windows Vista and later do not support this type of file.

In addition, ISBP17 verifies that WinHlp32.exe and WinHelp.exe are not included in the project because these applications should not be redistributed.

Corrective Action

To resolve this validation error, remove the help file from your project. Consider converting your help system to a different file format such as .chm, .htm, or .xml. Note that you would need to change your calls from the WinHelp API to the new help system.
