need help: Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system.

[sirhooch]

I am having issues trying to generate a pdf from a robohelp 7 html project.  Whenever I try to generate a pdf I get the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system."

I have tried to uninstall both Office (2003) and robohelp, re-installing office first and then robohelp, but it doesn't help.  Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Do you have Open Office installed? If so, click here.

Colum,

Thanks for the reply, but it's Microsoft Office, not Open Office.

I have read many threads here and tried most of the suggestions, up to and including:

Uninstall/Reinstall of Office and RH 7

Adjusting Macro security

comparing registry entries

There are others but I can't think of them all right now.  Point being, nothing has worked thus far.  I must admit this is fairly frustrating but I haven't given up yet.  Any more suggestions are welcome, and I will review the link you gave me just to make sure I cover all my bases.

I'll be contacting you shortly.

Sean had contacted me but I mixed up this issue with the Cannot Start Word issue.

I have now sent him a file that should fix the problem.

Peter, do you have a fix for this ?

RoboHelp HTML 8 on Vista x64 with MS Office 2007 installed.

Getting this message when double clicking on Printed Documentation.

The file I have is RH7 specific. Also you are running RH on Vista 64 bit which is not an officially supported platform. You could try Tech Support but I think that is the response you will get.
