So, this patch will not address the missing topics issues and cpd bloat problems - is that right?

[Peter Grainge]

That is correct. This problem manifested itself in recent days and I am sure you will understand the patch had been closed before that to allow testing and suchlike.

I have posted elsewhere that this recent problem is being investigated.

How can we get it......the Update option in the help menu on RH is greyed out.......

[Peter Grainge]

If it is greyed out, it means you do not have admin rights. You need to get IT to apply those rights while you update.

Hi Peter,

We are in the middle of evaluating the TCS2 with a major component for us being RoboHelp 8. We have had a lot of the issues noted in the patch. Do you know if we can download and apply the patch to an trial copy of the TCS2? Thanks,

I'd have thought so. Just use the Help > Updates menu item inside RH8.

I opened up RH8 and looked under the Update option. They are all greyed out. I have admin rights to this computer. So I'm not sure what the deal is.

Try going to www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and pick up the patch from

there

I downloaded the patch and now ROBO will not open at all.  Any suggestions?

Unfortunately the link that Jeff provided does not yet have the patch included on it. The only way to get hold of the patch is currently via the Help > Updates menu item. If you have "downloaded" the patch was it via this method? If it wasn't, ensure you have applied the correct patch.

Sorry - it looks like they still need to build a RoboHelp 8.0 section on that page before they can post the 8.0.1 patch

[Guest]

Thanks Colum. That seems to be working. At least so far. I was looking under the File ~ Update option~

[Guest]

Yes, I downloaded via the Help - Updates and now the project will not open.
