RH10: Error says HTML Help compiler not installed (but it is)

I tried generating an existing CHM SSL after about 9 months of inactivity.  It didn't work and RH10 gave me the message that HTML Help Compiler is not installed and that I need to go download 1.4. 

I already have HTML Help installed but I downloaded it from microsoft anyway and tried to install the latest version (1.3).  The installer said I already have a new version installed on my laptop. 

So, Windows says I already have HTML Help installed, but RH says the compiler isn't installed.  Any ideas?

Update:  I uninstalled and then reinstalled HTML Help Workshop.  Same error. 

HOWEVER, I just opened another RH project and was able to generate that project's CHM output just fine.  This makes me wonder if there's an issue with the first project.  Again, any thoughts?

Perhaps try closing the project, deleting the CPD and re-opening the project?

Cheers... Rick

You may also want to locate the ProjectName.HHP and rename it to something like ProjectName.HHPB. Then try generating the CHM again.
