Sejak Windows 3.1 , Microsoft menyertakan program Bantuan Windows^{(Windows Help program)} atau WinHlp32.exe dengan rilis baru. WinHlp32.exe digunakan untuk melihat file Bantuan^{(Help files)} 32-bit yang memiliki ekstensi nama file .hlp .

Harap^(Please) perhatikan bahwa Microsoft tidak lagi menggunakan format .hlp lama lebih dari 10 tahun yang lalu karena risiko keamanan. Perusahaan selalu mendesak pengguna Windows untuk sangat berhati-hati saat membuka lampiran ".hlp". Peringatan tersebut mengikuti rilis kode eksploitasi untuk kemungkinan bug zero-day baru di subsistem Bantuan Microsoft^{(Microsoft Help)} , yang digunakan untuk menampilkan file dengan ekstensi .hlp.

Sekarang file .hlp adalah file Bantuan^(Help) yang sangat lama dan Microsoft tidak mendukung atau memperbaruinya selama bertahun-tahun. File Bantuan modern^{(Modern Help)} adalah file .chm.

Buka file .hlp Bantuan Windows

Dimulai dengan rilis Windows Vista dan Windows Server 2008 , Microsoft telah memutuskan untuk tidak lagi menyertakan WinHlp32.exe sebagai komponen sistem operasi Windows . Microsoft membuat keputusan ini karena WinHlp32.exe tidak memiliki pembaruan besar selama bertahun-tahun, dan rasanya tidak memenuhi standar mereka untuk semua program Microsoft baru .

Ketika Anda mencoba membaca berkas bantuan tersebut, dengan program Bantuan Windows^{(Windows Help)} ( WinHlp32.exe ), Anda mungkin menerima pesan berikut:

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows, and it is not supported.

Atau

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn’t included in this version of Windows. However, you can download a program that will allow you to view Help created in the Windows Help format.

Microsoft menyadari bahwa ini dapat menyebabkan beberapa masalah bagi pelanggan yang masih mengandalkan file .hlp 32-bit. Oleh karena itu, Microsoft membuat  WinHlp32.exe tersedia sebagai unduhan yang berdiri sendiri.

Sekarang Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 dan Windows Vista juga tidak menyertakan program Bantuan Windows^{(Windows Help)} sebagai fitur Windows .

Jika Anda ingin melihat file .hlp 32-bit, Anda harus mengunduh dan menginstal program WinHlp32.exe dari Pusat Unduhan Microsoft^{(Microsoft Download Center)} .

Menggunakan Program Bantuan atau WinHlp32.exe

Anda dapat mengunduh dan menggunakan WinHlp32.exe untuk Windows 8.1 . Ini tidak tersedia untuk Windows 11/10 tetapi Anda dapat menggunakan yang untuk Windows 8.1 . Anda akan ditawarkan KB917607 untuk 32-bit atau 64-tetapi tergantung pada konfigurasi sistem Anda.

Proses untuk menggunakannya agak rumit dan saya sarankan Anda menggunakan salah satu alat atau ekstensi browser berikut untuk melakukannya. Hindari mengunduh program ^(Avoid)WinHlp32.exe yang ditambal dari situs web berbagi media juga.

Open .hlp files with WinHlp32.exe; Convert HLP to CHM in Windows 11/10

Eνer sinсe Windows 3.1, Mіcrosoft included the Windows Help program or WinHlp32.exe with new releases. WinHlp32.exe is used to view 32-bit Help files that have the .hlp file name extension.

Please note that Microsoft deprecated the old .hlp format over 10 years ago because of security risks. The company has always urged Windows users to be very careful when opening “.hlp” attachments. The warning follows the release of exploit code for a possible new zero-day bug in the Microsoft Help subsystem, which is used to display files with the .hlp extension.

Now .hlp files are very old Help files and Microsoft has not supported or updated them for years. Modern Help files are .chm files.

Open Windows Help .hlp files

Starting with the release of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft has decided to no longer include WinHlp32.exe as a component of the Windows operating system. Microsoft made this decision because WinHlp32.exe has not had a major update for many years, and it felt that it did not meet their standards for all new Microsoft programs.

When you try to read such help files, with Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program,  you may receive the following message:

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows, and it is not supported.

Or

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn’t included in this version of Windows. However, you can download a program that will allow you to view Help created in the Windows Help format.

Or

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn’t included in this version of Windows. For more information, go to the Microsoft Help and Support website.

Microsoft realizes that this may cause some problems for customers who still rely on 32-bit .hlp files. Therefore, Microsoft made WinHlp32.exe available as a stand-alone download.

Now Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista too do not include the Windows Help program as a feature of Windows.

If you want to view 32-bit .hlp files, you must download and install the program WinHlp32.exe from the Microsoft Download Center.

Using Help Program or WinHlp32.exe

You can download and use WinHlp32.exe for Windows 8.1. It is not available for Windows 11/10 but you can use the one for Windows 8.1. You will be offered KB917607 for 32-bit or 64-but depending on your system configuration.

The process to use it is a bit complicated and I would recommend you use one of the following tools or browser extension to do it. Avoid downloading patched WinHlp32.exe programs from media sharing websites too.
