Open Help file at a specified topic

Hi everybody
I searched for code to open directly the AutoIt helpfile at a specified topic.
Here is where I ended, thanks to posts from JLogan3o13 here and Gerry there
Each topic url is found in the help file, at the corresponding page.

Local $s_AutoIt_InstallPath = RegRead('HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\Autoit', 'InstallDir')

If @error Then
    Msgbox(0,"", "error = " & @error & " while reading registry")
Else
    ShellExecute("hh.exe", "mk:@MSITStore:" & $s_AutoIt_InstallPath & "\AutoIt.chm::/html/keywords/comments-start.htm")
EndIf

Please comment if it doesn't work on any Windows installation, thanks.

OS : Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-Bit, AutoIt : 3.3.14.0 ===> no problems

Thanks Musashi
The goal was also to use a variable containing the directory where AutoIt is installed, instead of a constant which changes depending on Windows version.
