RH X5 (RoboHTML)

[ShouldBeSailing]

Hi All,
I am new to this forum.
I have a problem where X5 closes with error when I double-click an HTML File (Topics) top left side of RoboHelp HTML. The error is "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in RoboHTML.exe[4004]." and Visual Studio askes me if I want to debug the problem. I click the "No" button and RHX5 closes.
I have installed the patch (X5.0.2) for X5. I also installed X5 on a different PC with the same results.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Thank you inadvance,
Sean

Hi:

Try the following to recreate the *.CPD and *.XPJ files.

1. Close RoboHelp HTML.

2. Delete the .CPD and .XPJ files located in your project folder.
(The Getting Started folder)

3. Right click the *.HHP file (in the same folder as the files listed above) then select Edit.

This should re-opoen the project in RoboHelp.

4. Save and then compile the project.

Hi Bdeeb,
Thanks for your suggestion. I have worked out that the RH is crashing because the HTML files have links in them that RH cannot handle.
I solved my problem by importing FrameMaker .MIF files into RH instead of HTML files. Much easier and much cleaner.
Thanks again,
Sean
