Failed to find result file in !SSL!\FlashHelp

I am a relatively new user to Robohelp and have been assigned to create our company's help file. I have been told to make it a Flash Help file and have been working on it for a few weeks now. I am having an issue trying to Generate the Primary Layout so I can view the progress so far.

When I click on the button to Generate the Primary Layout the box pops up and processes only 3 messages:

Starting Compilation
Clearing Output Folder
Starting Compilation

At this point the View Result button appears and when I press it I get an error message stating

Failed to find result file C:\...\!SSL!\FlashHelp\agsclerk.htm

Where AGSClerk is the name of the folder where my project resides. There is nothing in the !SSL!\FlashHelp folder.

In the past I found that this error was due to the RoboHELP.dot template not being active but I resaved the Word file after making the template active and restarted RoboHelp but this did not resolve the issue, the error message returns. I did save some updates this morning without making the template active but once I realized this while saving I made the template active again and resaved and figured it would work but it hasn't.

So it appears that I need the .htm file in the !SSL!\FlashHelp folder recreated. How can this be accomplished? I do not want to lose the many hours I have put into this project so far. What can be done?

    What is the path and start page that you have specified on the first page of the FlashHelp layout dialog?
