The detailed steps for dealing with this problem are covered in the article on my site.

http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/opening/opening_projects.htm

If 802 is showing in Add / Remove Programs or Program and Features and in Help > About, the patch is properly applied.

Unless you are working off a network or using Source Control, I don't know why you continue to have broken link problems if you have followed every step. The procedures there have worked for everyone else where the cause was the bug that 802 fixed.

Hi Peter,

I have fixed the broken link as the way it is written in your website, and

then i reimport the unused files,but after doing that i found again there

are broken links.

How this happen?

Thanks and Regards,

Rahul

Are you listening to me?

I said to repair the links, zip it up and send it to me, not to close it and open it again so the broken links appear. I don't follow the bit about importing. Looking at the project in Windows Explorer the topics to which there are links should have been in the project folders but for some reason RoboHelp was not seeing them.

Now let's try again.

  1. Repair the links.
  2. Close the project.
  3. Do not reopen it for any reason.
  4. Zip it up.
  5. Send the zipped file to me using one of the services on my Contact page.
