Description:
the MySql.Data.chm extracted from "mysql-connector-net-6.6.5-noinstall.zip" does not work on my Windows 7 environment.  The following message appears when opening the chm and when clicking on any of the pages in the contents.

How to repeat:
just open the chm in win 7

it works for me when opened from a local disk.   i think there might be situations where you need to explicitly "unblock" these chm files if they are residing on a nonlocal storage ?   Right-click the chm, and click the "unblock" button, does it work then?

Hi,

Just checked that the file is not corrupted, works fine.

In latest Windows you may be asked to confirm whether execute the content of the CHM (Javascript/HTML), click "yes always" (if necessary open it as Administrator)

You cannot run the chm as adminsitrator, and your admin doesn't allow running chm files you can see the same documentation online at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/connector-net.html
