#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392, 316,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Button_1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Button1", 150, 100, 100, 30)

GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop

        Run(@ScriptDir & "\KHA.chm", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
    Case Else
    ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd

you gotta run the help file viewer first then the help file as a command line argument. or use the dos "start" command then your help file then it should run.

Like this:

$file = @scriptdir & "\KHA.chm"

run("start " & $file)

are you sure your help file is there? are you able to view the help file when you click it?

I think spyrorocks is having problems with his own helpfile. This might work :

$file = @ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm"
Run(@ComSpec & ' /c start " " ' & $file & '"', "", @SW_HIDE)

try thisa:

$helpfile = '"' & @scriptdir & '\KHA.chm"'

run("C:\windows\hh.exe " & $helpfile)

try that i think it should work.
