Compile error RH 9 (Microsoft Help HTML)

When I try to create the CHM file from a project of RoboHelp 9, the compilation presents an internal error approximately at 50%. When I close the message, the application also closes. The message mentions the .err  file wich has the following message:

HHA Version 4.74.8702

htmlproc.cpp(114) : Assertion failure: (pszTmp == m_pCompiler->m_pHtmlMem->psz)

Making some tests, it appears to me that the limitation is in the quantity os key words included in the project, but, I have another project much bigger wich doesn´t shows the error. I´ve already compared the configurations of each project and there is no difference.

I´m using Microsoft HTML Help as primary output and to generate the CHM I click at the icon Generate Primary Layout.

The applications it is been used in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.

Has anyone faced this problem? Any suggestions?

Thank you.

This could be caused by the length of the path where your project source files are. The Microsoft HTML Help compiler has some issues if the path is too long. Try moving your source to a directory off your C: drive (e.g. C:\Source) and recompile.

I had tried this option. I tried again now, but still has not solved the problem.

Any other suggestions?

In that case there can't be anything wrong with the topic content. There must be a problem somewhere else. Try generating using a new TOC, Index, Glossary (if you have one) in turn and see if it compiles.


Results:

1 - Created new TOC from an existing one: error.

2 - Created new Glossary from an existing one: error.

3 - Created new Index from an existing one: ok.

4 - Created new project and imported the topics, TOC, Glossary and Index: ok.
