RoboHelp X5

[Mark Southee]

As part of a rre branding project, I have copied a complete project to a new folder, made the necessary changes and re built the index. But when RoboHelp crashes when compiling. The c:/err file contains the following:

HHA Version 4.74.8702
htmlproc.cpp(114) : Assertion failure: (pszTmp == m_pCompiler->m_pHtmlMem->psz)

I've checked and re compiled successfully the original project.

Any ideas why the project should fail at hte the HHA stage?

I've found this post that seems to indicate this is a problem with the length of the path to the project's folder. Try shortening the output path and try again.

Hi Colum, tried this, even tried moving to the root of c:, but it still won't work. Am trying again from scratch and compiling again after making changes in stages. Seems ok so far, but I was wondering whether the index was causing it to fail (haven't got that far yet)?

I've also found this KB article that suggests the HTML Help compiler is corrupt.

Thanks Colum, but it seems to be ok now. Rather than re-run the index wizard, I've manually changed the entries. Still compiling ok, so I'm going to leave it for now.

Thanks for the pointers.
