Conditional Build will not generate

By the way, I did incorporate a table and merge two right hand cells.

I created two topics, applied the condition to one and excluded it. The chm file generated successfully.

Create a new project. One topic with a table. Merge two cells in the right hand column. Generate with a condition. Does it generate?

One more thing...

I also updated rhvariable.apj per snippet 79.

When I remove my conditional variable, the chm generates just as it should. When I apply it, no luck.

See the replies above. Colum pointed out that having the project on a network may have corrupted it so perhaps the same occurred to you. See the link Colum provided.

I had a very similar problem and, following the advice given above re snippet 71, downloaded the two dll's and tried again. Instead of getting a failure notice, the project generation process simply led the program to freeze. I then tried moving the project file from the network to my C: drive, copied the dll's again and pasted them into the C:drive files -as specified. I generated the project again. Again, the project froze while the Generating HTML Help (Updating Files) dialog was displayed.

I would greatly appreciate additional suggestions. Parenthetically, I might add that I am generating a chm based on a single tag exclusion.

OK, We never did figure why it was getting corrupted. I welcome comments from a VSS user.

Networks are OK if you are using source control, or they should be. Colums comment applies to working directly off the network. With source control, RH pulls a copy from the network and you are working on it locally so you should be OK.

Maybe someone who uses VSS can comment?

Thanks Colum, I am going to look into the issue of having our working projects on the network. We have had corruption problems when multiple writers work on the same project. I thought VSS was supposed to make that ok to do, but if Robohelp does not like it then I have more research to do. How do we share work on a project from a local drive. Should I start a new topic for this?

Thanks Peter that fixed my problem with conditional builds.
