Opening downloaded help (.chm) files
We have noticed that when downloading the TMCore EPiServer Module it is sometimes the case that the help file, .chm
file does not open correctly. This article explains why, and how to fix it.
The solution
Rather than tantalize and tease with the solution, to make the chm file readable on your machine open up the properties for the CHM
file and click the Unblock button.
The problem
The "problem" is caused by Windows protecting your system. Windows is aware that the CHM
file originated from the internet. The help system, which is HTML based, contains code (ActiveX) which, if maliciously written, could damage your machine. Therefore, Microsoft issues are security patch (896358/890175) to disable this by default.
In order to allow the code within the CHM
file to run, you must "unblock" the file.
