Actually, Help Viewer doesn't require any particular creator types, provided your files have the right extensions (.htm or .html for the HTML files, idx for the index files).

It's probably just that the whole folder wasn't copied (perhaps you didn't add it to the project as a "folder reference"), or permissions were messed up somehow?

Hi,

Have you followed the tutorial for adding your help book to your
application?

See /Developer/Documentation/Apple Help/Tutorial/.

Basically, make sure you've got an AppleTitle meta tag set up in your
index.html file, make sure the file and its containing folder end up in
your app's Resources section, and make sure your CFBundleHelpBookFolder
and CFBundleHelpBookName Info.plist entries are properly set (the first
to match the name of the containing folder, and the second to match the
AppleTitle meta tag).

I have found that the reason why the help book does not appear in the Help
Center is that the help book was not properly copied into the app bundle.
Copying it by hand or using CpMac solves the problem, presumably because it
preservs the HFS ft/cr's.
