Manually copying files from one location to another is not
the way to fix things and I cannot say what harm that may have
done, if any.
It sounds like you ran the exes from some location other than
where the originals were. What was required was to download those
files and place them where the originals were, then run RH.
You say "download, run and replace RoboHelp.exe and
RoboHTML.exe" but I believe it is "download and replace
RoboHelp.exe and RoboHTML.exe".
I would now uninstall and reinstall making sure you have
admin rights both to install and use RH.
Let's hope copying those files has messed things up.
