Hey Milan,

I confirmed that the new path for the help docs on windows should be
x:/kicad_install_path/share/doc/kicad/help.  This is were they are
installed if you configure the build with CMake and run `make install`.
 Try manually moving the doc files to this path and see if KiCad can
find them.  If this works for you, we will have to update the installer
to put the docs in the correct path.

Thanks,

Wayne
