I have just pushed a number of commits to gnucash-on-windows that hopefully fixes the issue
that HTML Help Workshop could not be installed on Windows Vista and more recent due to
insufficient privileges.
I don't have such a Windows system so I need some volunteers to test it and give feedback.
The way to test would be to set up a development environment on Windows following the
instructions here:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows/blob/master/README
If you already have a development environment set up based on the gnucash-on-windows
repository you can skip the basic set up and just remove HTML Help Workshop via the Windows
control panel and rerun install.sh
What I hope is that you can successfully install HTML Help Workshop when during the
corresponding step. On Windows Vista and more recent I expect Windows to show a UAC which
you should grant.
In all cases, please keep in mind that you should *NOT* install HTML Help Workshop in the
gcdev directories. Just install it in the default location somewhere under Program Files or similar.
This has the added benefit that one single installation is ever needed. If you set up multiple
development environments for gnucash, they will all use the same HH installation.
I'm looking forward for all feedback.
Regards,
Geert
