Hello,

I have recently converted a classic Robohelp 11 project into the latest release of  Robohelp (20.2.29). Has anyone else experieced problems with the Search when generating a .chm file via Microsoft HTML Help output? The topics are in the correct order however the search never returns any results. When I generate WebHelp Output for the same project, the search works as expected.

Thank you for your help!

Beatrice

    1. Run MJ's diagnostics to make sure all the dlls are registered correctly.

    2. Where is the chm located? It should be local as they don't work properly on network or web servers for security reasons

    Thank you very much! The diagnostics indicated I was missing some software. Got that going and the search is now working!
