Generating Documentation with Sandcastle

The following apps are required to get going with Sandcastle:

• XP Service Pack 2
• .NET 2.0
• HTML Help Workshop
• Microsoft Sandcastle
• Sandcastle Help File Builder

First, ensure you have HTML Help Workshop by checking for the existence of the following folder:

C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop

If it is not there or does not contain hhc.exe, then download and install it from the following URL:

You should also download the Presentation File Patches from the URL above and extract them into the Sandcastle folder.

Now launch Sandcastle Help File Builder and get going...
