    Since Python 3.7 I'm getting broken shortcut to Python 3.x Manuals:
    the installer doesn't seem to check for correct path to hh.exe; sets "C" as drive letter. (Yet path to python3xx.chm starts with correct drive letter.)

    If you look in your %TEMP% directory, you'll find a set of log files from your Python install (maybe sort by date).

    One of these will end in "doc". Could you share that file?

    Thanks. Turns out it's a typo that's been around forever, but is really not obvious until you install Windows somewhere other than C:\Windows.

    Apparently that's far less common than it used to be :)

    We'll get it fixed in the next round of releases.
