Question

root.fpj gets corrupted

When using RH9 with the file structure located on a network drive we are getting all sorts of errors with reading or writing root.fpj.

In the end, root.fpj is left corrupted/truncated and you are lucky when you have made a backup.

This happens right in the moment when you want to add a new theme (CTRL-T). Once you have added the theme and you want to leave RH 9 you are getting a window, saying

Beim Speichern von Daten in

<H:\Robohelp_deutsch\Robohelp-Projekte\Version-1.2.-folder\SomeFolder\Company-123\XYZ-000\root.fpj <5> ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.

Clicking OK give the same error but with a <1>

Then the same text, but while reading, and then you can kiss goodbye to your root.fpj

Ok, your basic problem is that you’re trying to run a RH project off a network drive – that’s a strong no-no; it’s only been since RH10+ that projects on network drives have “worked” – even then, most people still prefer to use the best practice location of c:\projects\[project_name]\ for their work.

I hope that running from a network location is the only cause of your

problem.

As for recovering your project, you can use my free missing topics fixer

to restore the root.fpj file. See
