Sorry its been a while but I am releasing an updated build and I would like to get this in there
I feel a bit stupid in that your last suggestion of updating the view-deploy.xml did indeed work. I had set that on the studio server and my deployed appliance did not have the link, but wouldn't you know, the help link on the studio server did.
If I change this on the built appliance, it does indeed work. What I was looking for was how to set it on the studio server so that will be the default without having to script it in. I can change with with the post installation script, but since this studio server will only be building appliance where the help will point back to our website, I am looking to reconfigure the studio server.
