Can anyone tell me if RoboHelp 7 will work with Windows 7?

Hi there
It will be interesting to see. I'm unaware of anyone that has tried it. Well, maybe (hopefully) Adobe has.
Cheers... Rick

I wouldn't hold my breath on that - they'd be more concerned that RH8 works with Win7 (since that's their current version, right?)

Based on a limited test, RH8 works OK on Windows 7. I will test RH7 on it when I can. My gut feel is RH7 will work OK too.
However, if you do hit problems, don't bother phoning Support as both are currently unsupported, obviously.

I've got it installed and it seems to work fine. I can't, however, pin RoboHelp to the task bar. This is such a great feature in 7 and I can't use it with this application which is dissapointing.

Hi there
For those of us that don't have Windows 7, can you expound on what is exactly meant by "Pinning to the taskbar"?

The taskbar in Windows 7 has been greatly improved. When you pin an item to the task bar it is equal to pinning the item to the shortcuts launch bar that was in XP or VISTA. There is a lot of added functionality though. Take a look at the link below.

On a side note, I also use Captivate and it uses the task bar like all other applications do. RoboHelp is the only application that does not.

Hi there
I realize this is an old thread, but today I stumbled across some information that may be relevant. Purportedly the steps allow pinning even uncooperative applications to the taskbar in Windows 7.

Has anyone got the pin to taskbar to work in Windows 7?

I recently upgraded from to Windows 7 (from Vista) on a 64-bit machine. I use RoboHelp 7 and it works for me and so does Captivate 3.
I do not like the "pinning to the taskbar" feature, but I did find a way to get the Quick Launch menu back and working like it does in XP/Vista. Search for the How-To Geek online.

I'm really behind the times. I'm using Robohelp 6 with Word 2003. I generate .CHM help files, but they're not web-based. They're all viewed by F1 clicks and have Map IDs assigned to the topics. My questions are:
I'm rather technologically challenged so please be kind
