HHC5008 Error when generating full-text search data

I've created a small new RoboHelp HTMLHelp project with 1 book with 2 topics; created the index keywords via the smart index wizards but the compiled CHM gives me the TOC/Index/Search tabs but the Search tabs is completely empty (the Index tab is filled and works perfect)

During compilation I see the following error:

Generating full-text search data...
HHC5008: Error:
An unknown error occurred while creating the index.

PS: I've first had the problem about the itcc.dll that was not registered but using the regsrv32 command this is successful now

searching the web gives me nothing ...

I've installed the htmlhelp 1.3 workshop components; the diag tools now founds the dlls but the compilation still does not work (same error)

That all looks good. Do other HTML Help projects compile without error on your machine? This may help to show whether this one project is at fault or whether there is a problem with the compiler components on the machine.

If you feel comfortable doing so, please email me the broken .chm file so that I can take a closer look. You can contact me by clicking my user name at the left.

Hi, Gunter,

This is the description of error HHC5008 in the KeyTools Error Message Reference ( http://www.workwrite.com/helpthink/welcome.htm):

quote:

HHC5008: An unknown error occured while creating the index.

Problem: A problem occurred while creating a binary index.

Result: The .chm file is corrupt and cannot be used.

Solution: If you don't have a specific reason for using a binary index, you can turn it off to see if the .chm file compiles correctly. You should also check to be certain you have sufficient disk space on the drive where the .chm file is being created.

As a first step, maybe run MJ's Help Diagnostics to ensure that all the required compiler components are properly installed.

I've unchecked the "binary index" but without any success

I've also run the diag tool (see results below); I've manually registered hhctrl.ocx, itss.dll, itircl.dll but also htmlhelp compilation without any success. It also gives the error "File not found: C:\Program Files\itcc.dll" but the itcc.dll file exists under C:\windows\system32 and ofcourse not under C:\program files

It's odd that MJ's Diagnostics cannot find the compiler ("HTML Help 1.x Workshop") components. Perhaps you could try reinstalling them by running the HTML Help Workshop setup program.

Welcome to our community, Gunter

You do realize that the Search tab should be empty upon initial viewing, right? And nothing shows there until you search for something.

Cheers... Rick

Ofcourse ;-) I've entered some search texts (for example "topic" when a topic title is called "new topic" etc) but without any search results.

Creating a Robohelp WebHelp (which uses another compiler I assume) gives me search results using the same search texts
