R18 Help Docs??
(OP)
Has anyone else run in to problems with these?
They install fine by when trying to launch it gives a error.
I cant figure out whats wrong. Others are easy install and tools/options point the path in the help tab.

you need to install the same service pack for the doc as the one you have for catia...
not sure if that is true but...

I suspect that its a problem with Java.
Check the prequisites in the program directories. They specify the level of Java required for R18.

Also, Installing the help docs over a server can be a bit wonky, as well. For instance, one customer of ours has an issue that actually requires the user to map the location of the help docs as its own drive letter, (at the level where the help index is located) and then call out the drive letter, (i.e. - "K:") and then SPECIFICALLY call out English as the language. Normally, you would only have to call out the folder level where the language sub-folders reside, and the default program language would automatically find the correct language files. However, that just doesn't work on their server.
Hopefully one of these two tips will work for you.

"No document is associated to the current command."
The fix was to add a line to the Environment File. There are some commented out lines at the start of the file. Within this area make sure you have the ARGS line as shown below
!----------------------------------------------------------
! DASSAULT SYSTEMES - V5 ENVIRONMENT FILE
!----------------------------------------------------------
! MODE : Global
! TYPE : CATIA
! TMSTMP : 1234567890
! ARGS : -cs CATIA -a global -icon no -menu yes -tools
!----------------------------------------------------------
It's actually the "-cs CATIA" bit that does the trick.
Now the help docs open exactly as expected within CATIA.
Hope this is useful.
