RH10 makes double path to some images and fails to compile HTML Help

[rasterdan]

I have a project that has been upgraded many times.  Until RH10 it has been working and still works in RH9.  RH10 fails to compile this project and "Stops Working" in Win7-64.  This project has been removed from version control which has not changed the failure but has made testing a lot faster.

Near the beginning of the compile 2 warnings popup about two images we use as bullets which it says the source doesn't exist.  The reason it doesn't exist is because it is doubling the path ( example:  D:\project files\testproject\D:\project files\test project\WarningSymbol.jpg "cannot be copied to" D:\project files\testproject\!SS!\Microsoft_Html_Help\!chm_temp_folder_0\D:\project files\testproject\D:\project files\test project\WarningSymbol.jpg". reason: source does not exist.

Go figure, the path is whacked.  I have attempted to search every style and every page for the use of these images and somewhere buried in this project is a hidden link in the code that I can't seem to find.

Also, the last file compiled before stopping has been remade so I think that topic is ok.  I cut all the text and pasted to notepad and then replaced and reformated to make sure there were no strange characters hidden.  No luck.

Anyone seen this???

After messing around with this for a few days, I went back to the working RH9 version of this project, copied to another folder and opened in RH10.  It is working now.  Something in the previous conversion or something after the conversion corrupted the global variable and other links.

It seems to be working now.  Good thing we backed up.
