   It's been a while since I did a Help file in Help Workshop, but I seem   
   to remember making an ID mapping file, a .txt file I think, that   
   assigned each TopicID, such IDH_2001 or IDH_INSTALLATION, to a numeric   
   value. The format was something like   
       IDH_2001 = 2001   
       IDH_INSTALLATION = 2002   
   etc.   
      
   So maybe you are just missing the mapping file. You can probably   
   recreate one if you don't have it.   
      
   PS: I agree with Randy, there is no reason to reformat a drive just to   
   do a release. Just check the version of every file listed in references,   
   etc. and in any setup program, so your program can run on Win98 or   
   whatever OS version you need to support.
