Copy generated help file to publish directory

Open govert opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

When we create a packed add-in (or an unpacked add-in) in the publish directory, we should also copy the generated .chm file there. Maybe we can add a build target to the ExcelDnaDoc that checks what the properties of the add-in build are, and if appropriate copy the .chm to the right 'publish' directory.

For version 1.7.0 I don't expect to pack the .chm file into the .xll file, though I imagine a future version might (it would need some help in Excel-DNA during the function registration to use the temp path to an extracted help file).

If we plan to pack the .chm file into the .xll file that will be implemented in ExcelDna.AddIn, I think copy .chm file to publish directory should also be implemented in ExcelDna.AddIn.
