Hi Matt,
I don't know why what you're trying to do is broken, but you can do the
following instead:
Call AHGotoPage (in the Help.framework, which is part of Carbon, but is
callable from Cocoa because it's just a C API), supplying a full file:
URL to the index.html file as the path parameter. This call should take
care of launching Help Viewer and opening your file.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to use Help Viewer to open the HTML help file which is
inside my app's bundle. This code should work, but instead it always
opens the file with the default ".html" application.
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index"
ofType:@"html"];
if (path)
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile:path
withApplication:@"Help Viewer"];
It just won't use Help Viewer. I've tried specifying the full path to
Help Viewer in the withApplication argument:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Help Viewer
but it just will not use Help Viewer. In fact, when I specify the full
path, my app's window appears to deactivate, but my app stays
frontmost, and nothing else is launched (not even the default ".html"
application).
Can anyone help me with this?
Best,
-Matt
