Have you tried installing the Win 8.1 version? It may well work on Windows 10
and the Microsoft website just hasn't been updated. Shouldn't be any reason that
it shouldn't work and there's no reason not to try it.

I'm trying to do a fresh install of UI-View32 on Windows 10 and all goes
well until I try to configure it. As you may remember, UI-View is designed
to open a .hlp file the first time you try to configure many settings, but
Windows 10 can' t read UI-View's .hlp files. So it sends me to a Microsoft
page that has no solution (it has .hlp readers for installation on Win 8.1
and earlier but not one for Windows 10.)
And I really need to use the UI-View help files to configure it.
Does anyone have a solution?
For example, is there a way to fool Windows 10 into opening an older .hlp
reader.
Or should I start looking at utilities that convert .hlp files to .html?
(This solution would not appear to fix the problem of UI-View being able to
open it's own .hlp files -- but at least I could get at the info in the
.hlp files.)

For North American users, PMap 9 (Precision Mapping 9.0) along
with PMapServer 9 can provide street level mapping for all of North
America. They can be installed without hassle on Windows 7& 8.
PMapServer is available for download on the UI-View website.
However, Undertow Software is no longer selling new copies of
PMap 9, but existing owners can continue to use it as long as they
can get it registered.
Users of Windows Vista, 7 or 8 should not install UI-View below
Program Files. Instead, create a folder elsewhere. To view UI-View's
built-in context sensitive help file, download and install WinHlp32.exe.
Useful hints and tips about setting up and using UI-View are
available on Stephen WA8LMF's website.
