I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional under Windows 8.1 Professional. I want to convert a Visual Studio 6 MFC C++ project to 64 bit, and update (if possible) the old rtf, hpj based help components that I authored myself, even using MS Word to create the RTF files with the footnotes (or whatever they were), etc..
1. I can find NO help tools so far in VS2013. I see that in Program Files (x86) there is an HTML Help Workshop directory, but i contains only hhc.exe and itcc.dll. Is this complete?????
2. After "converting the old VC++ 6 MFC project to Unicode 64 bit after opening it with VS2013, a rebuild of the project, while running my old Makehelp.bat, handles the makehm statements, but cannot deal with the line:
start /wait c:\"program files"\"microsoft visual studio"\common\tools\hcrtf.exe -x "hlp\jagodbcb.hpj"
because there is no hcrtf.exe anywhere on my Windows 8.1 PC.
3. What is the current "standard" for help files from a Windows C++ program? Is it html based? Is it chm files?
4. Any ideas about how to "convert" my ancient help system to some new standard, hopefully with Microsoft free tools???
Thanks.
