On Windows 10, you can't search in the start menu for the HTML Help manuals.

This annoys me so much I'm going to figure out a way fix it :)

Fixed both the installation link and the bad javascript in the chm files. I also changed the changelog link to an internal link for the latest version and external for older versions (otherwise we were going to the web version which has JS that the HTML Help Viewer can't handle).

Open to suggestions for other improvements, but this resolves all the issues I'm currently aware of.
