HELP! Changing Project Names - CRASH

[Guest]

Any help would be appreciated....I selected the "File->Rename Project" option, gave my project a new name, got a Robohelp crash error and cannot open the project anymore. A friend of mine then tried it on a different project on her machine and the same thing happened. Any thoughts as to why? Any thoughts on how to recover the project?

Do a search as this cropped up about a month back. Let us know if you cannot find the post, it is just that I am busy right now.

I found a post regarding framesets....I'm not exactly sure what framesets are...it's not something I created in the project manually...I can't open my project to look...

Can you post the link to that topic?

OK found it.

Seems there is a known bug although I hadn't seen it before the above post.

Take a copy of your project as it is now, even though it is broken. Delete the CPD and XPJ files. Double click the HHP. Does that open it?

Take a look at Opening Projects on my site for more information.

Post back how you get on.

Is this a project you could copy to me? If it is, first let me know the zipped size.

Thanks Peter.
But....I have no .hhp file. I tried renaming the .cpd and the .xpj and tried re-opening but couldn't. The project opens and when it looks like it is almost finished loading, my cursor starts to blink then I get the Robohelp error message that it is closing.

Have you been through the other post to make sure that nothing suggested there works for you?

The fact that you have no HHP file suggests you have not generated any help from the project, otherwise there would be an HHP file. Is that the case? Your project is not on a network is it?

If still no joy it looks horribly like creating a new project and importing everything. Is that a major task?

Happy to look at the project if that is an option.
