Customize Help and Support

  • [アーティクル]

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

Note

This content applies to Windows 7. For Windows 8 content, see Windows Deployment with the Windows ADK.

This walkthrough describes how to build and to deploy a customized escalation page to contain customized support information. OEMs and system builders must customize the escalation page to display support information for multiple language and multiple regional distribution.

The escalation pages can use a customized cascading style sheet (CSS). For more information about using customized CSS for your customized Help Home and Escalation pages, see "How to: Customize Help Home and Escalation Pages" in the Help Authoring Guide (Help_Authoring.chm). This is located in the \SDKs folder, which the Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit (Windows OPK) and Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) create during installation.

Note

There are several topics in the Help_Authoring.chm that you should familiarize yourself with before you go through this walkthrough. Two of the more important are: How Windows Help Works, and Setting up Directories for Authoring and Deploying Help.

The Escalation Page Template contains an area for authoring customized content and a required Microsoft Maintenance section. You may use the code example as the starting point for creating your own customized escalation page.

This walkthrough uses sample XML with information for a fictitious company, Fabrikam, which is used for reference purposes only. To complete this walkthrough, replace the Fabrikam company name and information with your company name and information.

The folder structure that is used throughout this walkthrough uses placeholder names. You may replace HelpContent and HelpSetup with more appropriate names for your actual content.

Example code for deploying your customized Help and Support content is given at the end of this topic for both OEM and corporate scenarios.

In the \Samples folder that is created when you install either the Windows OPK or the Windows AIK, the Help customization sample files are provided for OEM and Corporate help customization.

Prerequisites

To complete this walkthrough, you need the following:

  • A technician computer. For more information, see Building a Technician Computer.

  10. Save and close the file.

Step 4: Create Compiled Help Files

Note

Before you use the following path, edit [Windows OPK | Windows AIK] so that the brackets are removed and you have specified the correct location based on whether you are using the Windows OPK or the Windows AIK. 

Open a command prompt and go to C:\\Program Files\\\[Windows OPK | Windows AIK\]\\SDKs\\Help and Support\\AP Help Compiler\\X86.

  1. Enter the following command:

    apcompnt.exe -p C:\ Helpcontent\escalation\Escalation.h1c -o C:\Helpsetup\en-US\Escalation.h1s

    The .H1S file is created in C:\Helpsetup\en-US.

Step 5: Create a HelpConfig.xml File

  1. Create a new text file.

  2. Copy and paste the following code into the file, and save it to %WINDIR%\Help\HelpConfig.xml.

    For online customization, this folder is on the destination computer. An online Windows installation is a Windows installation that is currently running on the computer.

    For offline customization, this folder is on the technician computer. An offline Windows installation is a Windows image that is not currently running. The Windows image can be in a Windows image (.wim) file, or a Windows installation that is on a separate partition.

    <oemHelpIns xmlns="urn:schemas.microsoft.com:oemhelpins"> <credentials domain="" userName="" password=""/> <content path="C:\HelpSetup\"/> <customization type="home" pageUrl="" cssUrl=""/> <customization type="escalation" pageUrl="mshelp://oem/?id=fabrikam.windows.client.escalation" cssUrl=""/> </oemHelpIns>

Note

URLs that are used in the configuration file should all be of the form mshelp://oem/?id= 

Replace “oem” with “corporate” in the `pageurl` if you are a corporate customer.  
  
This HelpConfig file uses the Microsoft default stylesheet which is used for the Help and Support client. It is recommended that the customers use this stylesheet because this will improve startup performance time.  
  
If you want to use your custom stylesheet, use the following for your HelpConfig.xml:  
  
`<oemHelpIns xmlns="urn:schemas.microsoft.com:oemhelpins">    <credentials domain="" userName="" password=""/>    <content path="C:\HelpSetup\"/>    <customization type="home" pageUrl="" cssUrl=""/>    <customization type="escalation" pageUrl="mshelp://oem/?id=fabrikam.windows.client.escalation" cssUrl="mshelp://oem/?id=Fabrikam.Windows.Client.stylesheets.escalation.css"/> </oemHelpIns>`  
  
replace “oem” with “corporate” in the `pageurl` if you are a corporate customer.  
  
If you want to customize the Home page too, then add your home page url and make sure that your help config file is similar to the following:  
  
`<oemHelpIns xmlns="urn:schemas.microsoft.com:oemhelpins">    <credentials domain="" userName="" password=""/>    <content path="C:\HelpSetup\"/>    <customization type="home" pageUrl="mshelp://oem/?id=Fabrikam.Windows.Client.helphome" cssUrl=""/>    <customization type="escalation" pageUrl="mshelp://oem/?id=fabrikam.windows.client.escalation" cssUrl="mshelp://oem/?id=Fabrikam.Windows.Client.stylesheets.escalation.css"/> </oemHelpIns>`  
  
If you want to customize your stylesheet for the homepage, add the cssURL.

Next Steps

To add custom help to an online reference image by using OCSetup

  1. Boot the destination computer into audit mode.

    From an elevated command prompt, run %windir%\system32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /audit

    For more information about audit mode, see How Sysprep Works.

    The computer will shut down and restart.

  2. Ensure that you are logged on with an account that has administrator privileges.

  3. On the destination computer, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.

    The Command Prompt windows opens.

  4. At the command prompt, enter one of the following commands to run OCSetup. (Your choice depends on whether you are an OEM or a corporation making customizations.)

    start /w OCSetup OEMHelpCustomization

    -or-

    start /w OCSetup CorporationHelpCustomization

  5. Delete the HelpConfig.xml file from the computer.

To add custom help to an offline reference image by using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Windows OPK or Windows AIK, right-click Windows PE Tools Command Prompt, and then select Run as administrator.

  2. Enter the following command to mount an offline image:

    DISM.exe /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:Z:\wim_mount

    In this command, Z:\wim_mount is the mount folder, C:\Install.wim is the name and the location of the .wim file to mount, and 1 is the reference number of the specific volume in the .wim file.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To enable OEM-customized Help content, enter the following command to run DISM.

      DISM.exe /image:Z:\wim_mount /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:OEMHelpCustomization

    • To enable corporation-customized content, enter the following command.

      DISM.exe /image:Z:\wim_mount /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:CorporationHelpCustomization

    DISM first searches for HelpConfig.xml on the computer on which it is running, at the location%WINDIR%\Help\HelpConfig.xml. If HelpConfig.xml is not there, DISM searches in the same directory in the mounted image that is being modified.

To Add Custom Help to an Online Reference Image

Use one of the following commands:

dism /online /enable-feature /featureName:OEMHelpCustomization

or

dism /online /enable-feature /featureName:CorporationHelpCustomization

Note

DISM can also be run from a Windows PE environment to modify a Windows image that is installed to a local hard drive. In this case, assuming that Windows is installed to the C drive, delete the section in the appropriate command line in Step 3, starting with /image:<path_to_image> /WinDir:<path_to_WinDIr>, and replace it with the following command: //online.

Important

Do not enable customized Help packages in the Microsoft-Windows-Foundation package. The customized Help features CorporationHelpCustomization and OEMHelpCustomization in the Microsoft-Windows-Foundation package should not be enabled. These features should be enabled only if all of the correct help files and resources are in the correct locations on the Windows image. Enabling either of these features without having the help resources in place might cause Windows Setup to fail. For information about creating a custom Windows 7 Help solution, see the Windows Help Authoring Guide.

For more information about Windows PE, see Work with Windows PE.

To Remove Customized Help Either Online or Offline

Use one of the following commands:

dism /online /disable-feature /featureName:OEMHelpCustomization

-or-

dism /image:z:\wim_mount /disable-feature /featureName:OEMHelpCustomization
