Rob:

Is Windows Update planned to replace the existing (stub) version of
winhlp32.exe with this file?
Or will it at least update the stub so that it presents a link to the
download page?

Thanks,

Harry Bego

Certainly MS have no plans to add WinHelp32.exe to Windows update.
Its download only for Vista.
