The message now should be popped up.

Not applicable.


Expected Results:
No dialog to appear besides the Options and Messages screen.

Actual Results:
The stupid popup saying "Failed to launch help." appears as well as the screen I wanted.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?Every Time
In other games?Not Applicable
In other user accounts?Yes
On other computers?Yes

When does the problem NOT occur?Every Time

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
This doesn't occur in build 506.1244, the one that was compiled using the other compiler, but does happen in the "mfc120" version.
Workarounds:Use the other version that's not the "mfc120"

As an addition to this post, it does the same in Dream Maker when I press F1 to bring up the DM Reference Help screen.
