I have managed to install the evaluation version of XMLMind on our CI

I just have one remaining issue and that is when trying to convert to
db5.toHTMLHelp I am encountering an error. I have listed below the
command and the output.This is the last step to get the go ahead to use
XMLMind in our organisation. So, could you please have a look and let me
know what I'm doing wrong?
bash-4.1$ /opt/xxe/bin/convertdoc db5.toHTMLHelp 'XXX.xml' -u /tmp/YYYY.chm

convertdoc: *** error: Command execution has failed:

Only guessing what could be the problem...
--> There is no way to generate HTMLHelp on a Linux[*] server because
you need to run Microsoft's HTMLHelp Compiler in order to convert the
generated .hhp file + the other generated HTML files to a .chm file.
--> If your CI server is a Windows machine, then please proceed as follows:
1) Download and install Microsoft HTMLHelp Compiler on it.
Let's suppose it's installed in "C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop".
2) Start XMLmind XML Editor on this machine.
3) Select Options|Preferences, Tools|Helper Applications.
4) Click Add and associate extension
hhp
to
"C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe"
See this screenshot

5) Quit XMLmind XML Editor.
6) Use convertdoc normally as this command-line version of XMLmind XML
Editor will of course automatically use your user preferences.

never tested this.
