I have just installed NSIS 2.47 on my new Windows 10 laptop. Immediately after the installation, when the program popped up, I got a missing file error from Help. See the attached image.
Also, when I tried to look at the NSIS Documentation on NSIS 2.47, I got a similar error message. See the attached image. I am wondering if I have a problem with my Help display system.
For future reference, since I just had this happen again with 3.02, it is caused by hhc.exe getting too much on the environment. It crashes and produces a corrupted CHM file. The solution is in Docs\src\SConscript in a function that was called new_spawn() and is now called env_trimming_spawn(). It nukes the envorinment for hhc.exe and starts it with nothing.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

There is some sort of issue with the HTML help compiler on the machine that produced the final build, we will make a new release soon.
Thanks. Fixed.
