• cabextract

Setup

1. Set Wine's Windows version to Windows 2000 (or above), and add an override to use the native itss.dll, both via winecfg:

wine winecfg

2. Download Microsoft HTML Help Workshop and install it as:

wine htmlhelp.exe

3. Install itircl.dll and itss.dll as:

cabextract -F hhupd.exe htmlhelp.exe
cabextract -F itircl.dll hhupd.exe
cabextract -F itss.dll hhupd.exe
cp -a itircl.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
cp -a itss.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
wine regsvr32 /s 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\itircl.dll'
wine regsvr32 /s 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\itss.dll'

4. Download Microsoft Foundation Classes update, extract it, and install it as:

wget http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc40.cab
cabextract mfc40.cab
wine mfc40.exe
wget -N http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc40.cab
cabextract -F mfc40.exe mfc40.cab
cabextract -F mfc40.dll mfc40.exe
cp -a mfc40.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/

Alternatively, download htmlhelp.reg and the htmlhelp.sh script, which will do all the work above for you.
