Hey!! SFC /SCANNOW detected new files as corrupted and "repaired" them reinstalling original stubs!

here's a zip file i made
containing the winhlp32.exe from windows XP
i've been using for a year
along with instructions on how to replace it...
it works for me even on x64...
winhlp32.zip
edit: this works on windows 8 and 10
even though the help file doesn't say so...
and probably 7 too though i haven't tried it...
Easy solution:
Copy extracted files (see here) and rename as:
...\winhlp32_legacy.exe
...\it-IT\winhlp32_legacy.exe.mui
somewhere else and assign .hlp files to this. Remember that .mui must be in a subdir with your language initials (it-IT, en-US, etc.)

I'm on the Windows 10 fast ring for new builds and this was working but a recent build put the original file back. I followed the same procedure but now opening any help simply returns an error (9009) so I'm wondering if this is no longer viable.
Edit: I switched to the XP version and that works.

Thanks to whomever posted a fix for the help files. I replaced the existing Win-10 WinHlp32.exe with the XP version and my Visual Basic Pro 5.0 help works!!!! Thanks loads (maybe from post #46 or later).
