Integrated Help in Delphi 10 Seattle?

I just installed TeeChart Pro TeeChartVCL-2015.16 in Delphi 10 Seattle, but seems that the Help wasn't integrated into the Delphi IDE help. I tried to manually run H2_RegTeeChart.bat, it ran without errors, but I still can't find the components help.
Is there anything more that needs to be done?

Hello Carlos,
If you don't find a TeeChart.chm file at the "Help\Doc" folder in the IDE, you can try put there the .chm from
here.
An alternative is to use the online docs
here.

Hi Yeray!
First, please notethat during Seattle install, I unchecked the option to installthe TeeChart that comes with Delphi, since I was about to install the Pro version.
I checked what you said, and the file wasn't there. I found the file in TeeChart Pro docs folder, and I copied it to the IDE Help\Doc, as you suggested, but I still can't find TChart in the IDE help when I press F1. Probably there is something more that needs to be done so the IDE will know about that file.
I prefer to use the integrated help than the online version, since it is more practical.
Hope you can help me to solve the situation.
Carlos

Btw, seems that you help install tool completely ignores RAD Studio 10:

Hello,
That's expected behaviour, Embarcadero changed this from XE8. Copying TeeChart.chm, available at TeeChart's Docs folder, to RAD Studio's help folder (e.g.: %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Help\Doc) and pressing F1 from the IDE, works fine.

Does not work for me with Berlin 10.1
I copied the Teechart.chm file as you said. Still, when I press F1 with a TDBchart selected for example, I get help on 'Vcl.ExtCtrls.TCustomPanel'.
Are certain actions required to force Rad Studio Berlin 10.1 to use the Teechart help?
regards, Wilfried

The solution Narcís explained works fine for me too; and reverting the change makes the help on 'Vcl.ExtCtrls.TCustomPanel' to be showed again.
