To deploy your Help 2 files to an end user system

Copy the following Doc-O-Matic generated files which are located in the output folder of the Help 2 configuration:
- [PROJECT].HxS
- [PROJECT]_COL_MASTER.
- [PROJECT]_h2reg.ini
Copy all files into the target folder on the destination machine and register the Help 2 file using H2Reg.exe:

<H2REG_PATH>\H2Reg.exe -r "cmdfile=<TARGETPATH>\[PROJECT]_h2reg.ini"

This command will register the Help 2 file on the end user's computer using the same namespace settings as used in the Doc-O-Matic project. H2Reg is available for download on the Helpware website.
