How do I access ArcView 3.X help after Windows 7 install?
ArcView works but I can't access help.

1ArcView 3.3 was placed in Mature support status in April 2005 and Retired in Dec 2012. Please edit your question to specify the application word size for your Windows 7 OS (32-bit or 64-bit). If the help subsystem is 16-bit and your OS is 64-bit, it's unlikely that they can work together.– VinceCommented Nov 10, 2015 at 21:22

1Create single line project startup script System.SetEnvVar ("AVEXT", "C:\......\Esri\AV_GIS30\ARCVIEW\EXT32")– FelixIPCommented Nov 10, 2015 at 21:38

@Vince It works perfectly fine on Windows 7 with very few tweaks– FelixIPCommented Nov 10, 2015 at 21:46

1Wikipedia says that you'll need to download WinHlp32.exe from Microsoft.– mkennedyCommented Nov 11, 2015 at 17:38

Help files old style are being banned from Win7, 8 and 10. However, you can try this method, which can make the Help Files live again.
Do not forget to de-activate automatic Windows update.
