DocMounter System Requirements
DocMounter tool
The latest version of DocMounter is a portable exe file that can be launched without installation. It requires only the .NET Framework of the version 4.7.2 or higher. As such, it can be used in any version of the Windows OS supporting .NET Framework 4.7.2 (Windows 7, 10, 11).
External tools
DocMounter uses Sandcastle, the Microsoft documentation compiler for managed class libraries, to generate MSHC help files. You should download and install this tool separately from DocMounter.
Originally Sandcastle was hosted at Codeplex. This portal has been closed, and you can no longer download Sandcastle installations from the original source. Microsoft and other companies may have cached official Sandcastle installations on their servers, but these may not be the latest version ever released – June 2010 Release (Version 2.6.1062.1). We do not recommend using earlier versions of Sandcastle because DocMounter may fail while calling Sandcastle tools from older releases.
The current version of DocMounter was developed and tested with the latest official release of Sandcastle (Version 2.6.1062.1). You can download its installation and the accompanying Sandcastle Styles Patch from the DocMounter Downloads page. The manual supplied with DocMounter describes how to install and configure this external tool.
