The kicad autoinstall package has a problem: Its creates a directory named "KiCad", and kicad (which is case sensitive) expects a directory named "kicad". Therefore kicad does not find the help files and some other files (default config files and dictionnaries)
In order to avoid problems: Rename the kicad directory C:\Program Files\KiCad to C:\Program Files\kicad AND edit the desktop icon properties ( change KiCad to kicad) or: install kicad in root directory (c:\ or d:\) or download the new autoinstall archive (this bug is solved) -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS Maître de conférences Directeur d'études 2ieme année.
