I sourced the HTML Help Workshop installer form the Internet Archive Wayback Machine here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160201063255/http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/A/9/0A939EF6-E31C-430F-A3DF-DFAE7960D564/htmlhelp.exe Going forward, what will become the authoritative (and safe) source for getting this file if Microsoft makes it no longer available? Side Note: When I installed it (version 1.3 I believe), at the end setup told me I had a newer version already installed, assuming as part of Visual Studio. And with that 14/14 build steps have completed. Thank you all for your help. -Kevin ________________________________ From: gnucash-devel <gnucash-devel-bounces+kbsanders=hotmail....@gnucash.org> on behalf of Kevin Sanders <kbsand...@hotmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 8, 2024 12:37 PM To: gnucash-devel@gnucash.org <gnucash-devel@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: GnuCash Windows Build Help That did the trick. I downgraded the packages to the versions you specified in your post and added them to the ignore file. Now I'm on build step 13/14 and it is failing with: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:143 (message): Html Help Workshop not found When I ran the initial setup-mingw64.ps1 script, it failed to download htmlhelp.exe from the Microsoft servers (404 error). I commented that section of the script out to be able to continue on, figuring I would have to deal with it later. So, this link is no longer valid for downloading the HTML Workshop Installer: http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/a/9/0a939ef6-e31c-430f-a3df-dfae7960d564/htmlhelp.exe I'm assuming Microsoft has discontinued support for it and scrubbed it from their servers? I'm going to have to source it from somewhere else. -Kevin Relevant section of setup-mingw64.ps1 script: # Install Html Help Workshop $html_help_workshop_url = "http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/a/9/0a939ef6-e31c-430f-a3df-dfae7960d564/htmlhelp.exe"; $html_help_workshop_installer = "htmlhelp.exe" $installed_hh = get-item -path "hkcu:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTML Help Workshop" | foreach-object{$_.GetValue("InstallDir")} if (!
