Missing MasterThemeSchema.xml in Multiscreen HTML5 layouts

I'm running RH11 with all updates applied on a Windows 7 machine and have encountered some problems with modifying the look of the Multiscreen HTML5 screen layouts.

I am working in an existing project and would like to switch to a Multiscreen HTML5 layout for. However, whenever I try to edit any of the stock Multiscreen HTML5 layouts that ship with RH11, I get an error stating that the MasterThemeSchema.xml file cannot be found and that it "is required for layout customization and validation". I have tried re-downloading the screen layouts available on the Adobe website (used the two Desktop_Knowledge screen layouts with/without the home button for this test), but after importing them into my project the same MasterThemeSchema.xml not found error appears.

Is there a way to get RoboHelp re-create this file for the Multiscreen HTML5 layouts? Or any other suggestions I can try?

I'm not sure if this makes a difference in finding a solution, but here is some other info about my project:

- I am able to generate Multiscreen HTML5 output using the screen layouts with no issues (they just have the default look and feel as shown in the preview when on the New Screen Layout dialog).

- I can import/export the Multiscreen layouts okay, but I still cannot edit them.

- My project originally used a Responsive HTML5 screen layout, which I can still edit on the Layout Customization screen with no problems.

The Multiscreen HTML5 layout do not support the HTML5 editor at this time. If you want to use the editor, you have to use Responsive HTML5 layouts. Since the support is not added for the Multiscreen layouts, the file MasterThemeSchema is not available and hence the error.

Kind regards,

    Thank you for the response, Willam. Are you aware if this is a bug that they're working on fixing? It's very annoying finding out that this feature is unsupported when RoboHelp allows me to select the option to Edit the Multiscreen HTML5 layouts in the first place and then the error message makes no mention of it being an unsupported feature!
