AIR output with merged TOCs not working

Question

I want to create Adobe AIR application help (not Adobe AIR browser based help). I have setup the folders and inserted the merged table of contents into the parent project as defined in the Merged Help article.

What I am experiencing.... If I select the Output type as Adobe AIR application then there is no mergedProjects folder created. Should there be?

As a test, I also selected the output type as Browser Based help, I then get the mergedProjects folder. When I then compile my child projects to the respective child folder under the mergedProjects folder I get an string of Data > files folders. These folders have created a path so long that they can no longer be delected...because the recycle bin cannot handle the long path.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

The Files and Data folders are what you get when you generate browser based AIR help and I have no idea how you have managed to get that setup. You will have to delete rather then recycle.

MergedProjects is unique to browser based help (WebHelp and AIR) so you should not get that folder with locally installed AIR help.

You refer to "the Merged Help article" but don't state which one. Are you talking about the topic in the help? Please state the title so that we know what you are working from.
