Question

RoboHelp 7, JavaHelp, and Java SDK

I have Jave SE Development Kit 6 Update 3 installed on the computer that has RoboHelp 7 installed. The folder for the jdk is at C:\Program Files\JAVA\jdk1.6.0_03. However, when I try to compile my JavaHelp project, I get dialogs that Java 2 SDK is required to build compressed JavaHelp and full-text search. So, I then click "Locate Sun Java 2 SDK Install Folder" twice (once for compressed JavaHelp and once for full-text search) and navigate to the path mentioned above. RoboHelp does accept that path as the path with the JDK. However when I click Finish, RoboHelp 7 does not build the JavaHelp but again prompts me for the jdk path. It is stuck in a loop. RoboHelp X5 had no problems with my Java SE installation. I have set environment variables for "JHHOME", "JAVA_HOME", and added the C:\Program Files\JAVA\jdk1.6.0_03 path to my PATH variable, but it doesn't help.

Does anyone know what RoboHelp 7 is expecting?

    Note: I installed an older version of the Java SDK (j2sdk1.4.2_06), and the JavaHelp compile works fine. I don't know why it wouldn't recognize jdk1.6.0_3, unless it has to do with the change in naming conventions.
