New Skin throwing application error and not publishing correctly.

My boss created a new skin for us to use. I added the new publish contents to my project and when I go to publish the content to HTML, the new skin is not being used. When I try to open the skin within RoboHelp, it throws an application error, and will not appear in the window. What should I do to resolve this?

    Yes, export from boss's machine and import into yours, then select in the preset. 

     

    Is your boss also on Update 7?

     

    When you say created, I assume you mean customised a supplied skin.

    Yes, he customized a skin. We usually just copy the files from the RH folder from one to the other and it works. Thanks for pointing out the Version, he was still on 2019.14 - fortunatley I have both 2020 and 2019 on my machine and I tried opening the RH project with 2019 and that worked. Thanks for your time and responses!

    "I added the new publish contents to my project" - not quite sure what you're doing in this operation. Usually you'd have to export out of one project & import into another to transfer something over - in RH2020, I'm not sure of the procedure, but I'm sure that you have to specify the new styling in your Output Preset for HTML5.

    Let's start with the basics - what exact point version of RH are you using? What output are you creating?
