    Description

      After building Qt from source, opening assistant.exe does not open, but exits with an error message to the effect:

      "Error reading catalog file 'C:/Documents and Settings/admin/Local Settings/Application Data/Trolltech/Assistant\qthelp"

      Since my OS is in German, this error message appears in German ("Fehler beim Lesen der Katalogdatei 'C:\..." (etc)). I don't know if it is an issue related to backslashes combined with forward slashes or not (note the last separator is a backslash), and there is no single quote delimiter at the end of the string which might mean that some text was truncated.

      Since .qch files are actually SQLite databases, it might make a difference that I have sqlite3.dll ver. 3.7.6 installed in my Windows system32 folder because I am compiling Qt with the -system-sqlite option.
