For Windows 7 you will need to download the WinHelp installation files from Microsoft to get the actually very useful help system working. This KB article has the download links: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607</a></p><p>There is a PDF manual included in the standard Mercury installation too. I'm not sure if it's there in Xampp as I haven't tested that package.</p><p>The current version of Mercury is 4.73 and in most cases it's a good idea to upgrade.</p><p>If you need help with specific details about the installation please let us know a bit more about your requirements and network environment.</p><p>/Rolf  </p>
