### 8.2.5 Understanding initial set-up requirements

To set up a WinHelp project and have Mif2Go create a WinHelp project file (.hpj), you must do the following:

• make sure no m2winhelp.ini configuration file is present in the project directory

• run Mif2Go from within FrameMaker.

If you run Mif2Go from the command line, or if a configuration file is already present, no .hpj file is created.

If you are creating a multi-file WinHelp project, always work from a FrameMaker book file rather than from a single document file. If necessary, create a new book containing just the files you want to include in WinHelp. Or, use the existing book file, if the only difference from a print version of the book is that you are excluding the index.

To compile WinHelp, you will need Microsoft Help Workshop; see §1.3.5 Obtain tools for Help systems or eBooks.
