Html Help not Indexing

[randomcoolzip]

I select the base directory for html help files (oracle 10g Lite docs), it shows me the books available, and I click on setup. It says that this will take a while and it does nothing. I looked in the Win registry and the values for the html help are empty. Have tried this several times.

Win XP SP2
Oracle Express 10g
Plsql developer 7.1.4.1390

btw, I check marked all the books and did "Apply" also.

Help indexing is not certified for 10g Lite documentation. Only for the full documentation.

I installed the full documentation and indexed it including the Error msg book. But I am getting a lot of error msgs that are not being found in the documentation. e.g. ORA-00920 invalid character, ORA-00936 missing expression. So I opened the pdf file with the error msgs for 10g and they arent present in the pdf either. So then I forced an error msg that _is_ in the pdf ORA-00911: invalid character, but it didnt find it in your HTML help, either. What is going on?

Is it possible to manually trigger a search in your Html help? I dont see how. When I open it manually I only get a Books tab and three buttons: Setup, Apply and Help.

I am using 10g (10.2) Xpress and the documentation is for 10g (10.2). Would they have used different Error codes for xpress vs Std?

It seems like a lot of the error messages has disappeared with Sever version 10G - in the documentation, that is.

One (clumsy) solution could be to install the book with error messages from version 9.2 along with the 10G.

Another work-around is to use google to search for "ORA-00920". This is surprisingly effektive.

But in the end I think all the blame for this must go to Oracle.
