I get a RoboHTML.exe - Application Error when I try to start RoboHelp 10 HTML. It says:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
I have uninstalled and re-installed RoboHelp 10 several times but it made no difference.
What can I do?
Thanks,
Diane Heald

We can't help you. We know nothing about your system. This is just a generic Windows crash 5 miliseconds after attempting to launch the app and could be anything. Check your Windows Event Viewer and provide system information.

Thanks for your reply. My system is Windows 7, a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook. I bought it in May 2012. It is a 256 GB solid state drive, 4GB memory, 133 MHz, Windows 7, DDR 3. with an i7-2637M processor. 1.70 - 2.80 GHz.

It is a 64-bit system.

Did it ever work? If so, what’s changed; if not, then you should call Adobe Support for assistance. Are you running it as an Administrator on your machine?

Yes it did work fine. The problem was that I could not view the Single Source JavaHelp output on my PC after I generated it. I know you have to download Java JDK, etc. and I've done that many times over the years and each time it was a huge hassle, but finally got it to work.
But RoboHelp worked fine and the output worked fine in my customer's Java program. Since I could not view the output, a programmer at my client's site looked up the error message online and gave me some links to look at. I did what one of those links said by downloading something. I don't remember what at this point. It was then that I would get the message anytime I tried to run RoboHelp. So I cannot run RoboHelp now.
If I can just get rid of this error message and be able to run RoboHelp, I am OK with not even being able to run the JavaHelp viewer. I've dealt with that many times over the years on various computers and it is always a huge hassle. I'll just look at it after my customer loads it into their application.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

I’d be looking to restore my machine to a restore point prior to when you downloaded “whatever it was” – sounds like you’ve pooched something in Windows completely outside of RH. Support may have a better idea of what to do.

Jeff Coatsworth idea about running the Restore Point is a great idea that I had not thought about. I think it would have worked great, except that I had done so many installs and uninstalls that the restore points did not go far enough back because each time you do an uninstall or reinstall, it creates a new restore point and the oldest ones are gone. I did go ahead an restore it to the oldest restore point it had. For future use, I have alloted more disk space for restores. Thanks for this and I will remember it in the future.

I think I would try simply reinstalling Rh.

After I did the Restore Point, I uninstalled several Adobe programs including RoboHelp, an Adobe PDF program, and several other Adobe programs. I then re-installed RoboHelp and it worked!! Yea!
Thanks for your help!
So RoboHelp runs now, but I still have work to do since I create JavaHelp. I know I need to download Java JDK (I had uninstalled it during this troubleshooting process) and work with the environment variables. I will do that another day as I don't have time today.
Thanks, again to all who helped.

Going to need a bit more info before anyone can help you. What o/s? What version of RH10? All patched up? Happens all the time or just started happening? Happening on anyone else’s terminal?
