How to have app support .HLP help files in Win7?

How can my app which displays a .HLP file be able to display this file in Win7?

Is there a redistributable that could be included with the app to provide this support?

Am using Win 8, x64, and l tried my best running .hlp files, even downloaded Winhlp32.exe from Microsoft but to no avail. However, l copied winhlp32.exe from WinXp OS and put it on my Win8 and everything worked fine and now, l can view .hlp files on Win8. I think it worth trying.

My own program comes with a .chm file for help, and it displays just fine on Win7. I think that Vista and Win7 dropped support for .hlp files, not .chm files.
