    It's really not too helpful to users to just vote to kill a topic because it doesn't comply with Stack Overflow rules regarding questions with subjective answers without any further action. This is a good question that's simply in the wrong place and it would be much more useful to move it to Meta and include a link to the question's new location in the "Closed as off-topic" announcement. – cfwschmidt Aug 07 '17 at 16:18

You could try KEL CHM Creator.

It's free, easy and it works.

It supports HTML keywords for building the index, tools for automatic TOC construction, CHM decompilation, etc.
