Winhlp32.exe for Windows 10

Fast fix

The Story

So I’m playing with the Kepler software for Astrology charts and it needs the old Windows Help program.

Spend several days searching for this thing on the internet.

  • winhlp32-windows-7-x86-x64-komeil.cab
  • Winhlp32.exe
  • How to open .hlp files with WinHlp32.exe on Windows 10?
  • Windows Help Program (WinHlp32.exe) for Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 x64 and x86

You probably may find this article if the program opens this:

And any of these files doesn’t work:

The good guy here had the .cab file once upon a time but now the link is dead:

And the good guy here had a workaround for Windows 10:

Finally, I found the file here:

But was not sure how much this website will be up and running.

So the good guy, the creator of the most awesome-super-giga-top-best software in the world Iris made you a package πŸ˜€

  1. You are my hero! After having applied “Fast fix” I read “The Story”. An obstacle race like mine, but you are evidently the better expert.
    I’m setting up a win10pro (if I only had known ;-D) machine (LG Notebook PC 16T90P – if I only had known ;-DDD) full-packed with 20 years old software. I try to avoid VM-software of any vendor. It’s a foible of course …
    I’d be glad to hear from you! Thank you once again for your great efforts!

  2. Sir, you are a hero! With your tool at hand, I can read the manuals of the past, and remember how to play, or find tips!

  3. Hello Daniel,
    There are no instructions on how to use the extracted files.
    Simply run Install.cmd as a normal user or Admin?
    Will this work with Windows 11?
    Why do you add the reference to the thefreewindows.com site?
    Thanks,
    Jacques

    1. Install_Windows_10.cmd
      Right-click -> Run as Administrator

      thefreewindows.com was where I found the original files
