Avast Help-files inaccessible after 2208 update

[REDACTED]

After updating to 2208 clicking the qustionmark on any avast page returns: "File not found".
I tried repair install as well as running the removal tool folowing a clean install.
This has not fixed the problem.

on any avast page returns

You mean in the UI, right?
No problems here.
All is working fine.
Does it give a file name?

[REDACTED]

Yes any page in AVAST UI no help after clicking ? just returning: "File not found".
I use Dutch language

Inderdaad, er is een probleem als je nederlands als taal geïnstalleerd hebt.
In de avast folder heb je (als het goed is) een bestand genaamd: Avast5_1043.chm
Dat is een help bestand.
Het is wel in het Engels, maar beter iets dan niets.
Ik meld het probleem zo wel even aan avast.

Avast5_1043.chm is inderdaad aanwezig maar dit is de helpfile voor AVAST 2014

This is working OK on my avast free 2208 - just about to check it on my win7 netbook.

Whilst checking on my win7 netbook, I got an permissions popup for avastSvc.exe making a connection, so I don't know if this file you can't find is off-line, which would seem strange. After giving permission the page displayed.

Checked the ? on several other pages, same result page displayed - as I would expect from the first instance.

So I just wonder if this isn't a localised issue, were the translation hasn't been completed in all languages.

Hi.
I have the same problem. No help file just the message file not found. I have a Swedish language version. I installed a second language in the language option I installed English but no help file showed up. Couldn´t read the answer given in Dutch sorry to say.

It seems to be a bug with certain languages.
I have reported it to avast.

This applies also to Finnish language version.
