I noticed that hh.exe is capable of decompiling a .chm file to a set of .html files. But in order to work it requires the path to the file be current directory and the filename be the filename itself, apparently without allowing a full path.

For example, this will work (in cmd):

c:\MyDir>hh -decompile extracted MyFile.chm

This won't work:

c:\>hh -decompile extracted c:\MyDir\MyFile.chm

This is relevant because I want to use a shell command from the registry to decompile the .chm file, and the parameter "%1" gives me the full path to the file only, and I don't know of a way to receive only the filename without the path

    Another issue is the arguments cannot be enclosed in quotes. For example c:>hh -decompile "extracted" "c:\MyDir\MyFile.chm" Will not work. this is annoying when the chm file has spaces in it. – zeroRooter Sep 26 '16 at 02:26

Try passing forward slash eg:

c:\>hh -decompile extracted c:/MyDir/MyFile.chm

You could also try to open command line in the folder containing your .chm file, try 'shift' key and 'right click' mouse button and "Open command window here" option. Make sure no file is sellected. regards, joe

It won't work with paths quoted or otherwise.

It's easiest to just move the output folder and input *.chm into the root of the drive, cd there, and then simply run the hh.exe -decompile outputfolder input.chm command.
