Hi,

You are probably using Windows Vista/7 with UAC enabled. The script tries to save the project to you install directory, but UAC is preventing that. This doesn't create an error, but when the script tries to open the newly created template, the template is missing and you receive an error.

Try disabling UAC and running the script again.

RoboHelp 8/9 comes with a script to do this for you. Just run the script SaveAsProjectTemplate and the script saves the current project as a template.

I have tried that but i always get this error:

I enter a name for the help template and a description but this error always loads

Line 49 of the script in bold:

RoboHelp.closeProject();
   RoboHelp.openProject(tarPath.concat("\\", projName), false);
   RoboHelp.project.rename("Template.xpj");
   RoboHelp.closeProject();
   RoboHelp.openProject(srcPath.concat("\\", projName));
