Hardware Debugger 6.0.1: Help will be disabled if the help file is located on a network drive.
Description
If the XACTstep installation is located on a network drive, the Hardware Debugger will be unable to load the help file "hwdebugr.hlp".
Solution
To access help from the Hardware Debugger, create a local XACT directory with a sub-directory DATA. Copy the file "hwdebugr.hlp" from the network XACT\DATA directory to the local XACT\DATA directory. Then, so that the Hardware Debugger will know to locate the file locally, modify the XACT environment variable to include the new local directory.
Example XACT setting:
SET XACT=E:\TOOLS\XACT;C:\XACT
Where E:\ is the network installation drive and C:\ is the local drive.
