Extras | Decompile Help File

You must have installed Microsoft HTMLHelp Workshop on your machine to use this function.

To decompile a Compiled Help Module (CHM) file and get all included files open KIT, go to the Extras menu and click to "Decompile Help file".

Another dialog is opened and browse to your file with a *.chm extension. You'll be asked to decompile the file so click to the OK button.

Decompiling the file produces a slew of HTML and image files, together with the table of contents (.hhc) file, index (.hhk) file, and a few other supporting files.

One thing to note is that the decompile/recompile process isn't a "round-trip" process. Certain features that the help author added to the original help file can't be recovered when you decompile it, so these may no longer work properly after you've recompiled. This is especially true in the area of context-sensitive help, which may be broken in the new version of the file.
