I am trying to start my help from my C# wpf application and so I use :
System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp(null, @"//UNCPATH/Help.chm", System.Windows.Forms.HelpNavigator.Topic, "/GOOD_TOPIC.htm");
And this starts the hh.exe with the help but the right panel is completely white like if it couldn't render it.
I also tried the
Process.Start("hh.exe", "//UNCPATH/Help.chm")
and this gives the same result.
But When I use a local path Help.ShowHelp works and when I use the Windows run window with:hh.exe //UNCPATH/Help.chm it works.
I don't think UNC path is the problem here because even with a mapped drive I have the same result. My best guest is thew network drive is the problem here but then again I don't have the problem when I use something out of my code.
Could this be a 32/64 bit problem (my app is compiled as 32-bit on a 64-bit Windows 7 OS)
EDIT :
After some more research when compiled in x64 it works on my pc but not when compiled in x86
