Viena wiki?

Post by ChurchOrganist »

Is there a Viena wiki where we may find guidance on the use of Viena?

If not - would anyone be interested in starting one?

Sorry to say there is no WIKI.
There is only a rather old help file:

Although it is more than 10 years old it will get you started at least.

Thanks for that.

I can't get it to display text in Windows 10 :(

Generally speaking: A "CHM" help file is blank if being opened on an external or network drive, or has been blocked by Windows because it was downloaded from the Internet rather than being installed by your software's installation routines. To unblock a file like that the user needs to right-click on it in Windows Explorer, select Properties in the context menu, and then Unblock in the dialog displayed.

Here is another version of it:

Hi! First time here--question:

Both of the help file URLs you gave (CHM and PDF) come back with "404--Not found" errors. Is there another way to get the PDF version?

By the way, Microsoft has deprecated the CHM help file format, and its OS software by default no longer reads those files. MS wants developers to now use a different approach for help files. FWIW. (I realize you created the CHM file before the deprecation, and I'm also aware there are ways to get around it.)

Thanks in advance if you have a way of accessing the old PDF file!
