The J Windows help depends on the file assocation of htm to the default
browser. Perhaps this is not set on your system.
The Help menu tries to start help as follows:
wd'winexec "cmd /c c:\j64-602\help\index.htm" sw_hide'
This assumes you have installed J in c:\j64-602 as indicated in your
message.
Try the above sentence in your J session. Presumably it fails as this is
what should be run when you click a Help menu iten.
Start a Dos prompt window and try command (you don't need cmd /c):
...> c:\j64-602\help\index.htm
Presumably this fails as well. If so it indicates your system doesn't have a
file assocation for htm.
In your Dos window you can check this with the following:
...> assoc .htm
.htm=htmlfile - 'normal' result
...> ftype htmlfile
htmlfile="C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet
er\iexplore.exe" -nohome - somthing like this
Don't know why the assocciation wouldn't be set up on your system. There are
some registry issues here. You could run Internet Explorer and select
Tools|Internet Options|Programs and click Make Default. This may fix the
problem.

Following a normal installation I have not been able to access the HELP
facility from the J.
Only "About J" is accessible.
I also note that there is no "addons" directory in \J64-602
