Windows 7 and RoboHelp 7 or 8

I am using Windows 7 with RoboHelp 7 and it seems to work ok until I have to add something to my project which takes a very long time and half of which RoboHelp forces itself to close and not run properly. Does anyone know if RoboHelp 8 would solve any of these occurances or not? I have verified that all updates for RoboHelp 7 are installed.

I haven't tried running RH8 under Windows 7 but as even that RH version was released before Windows 7 I'd expect there to be issues with it. It's a bit like buying a Porche and installing a Ford Escot engine in it and expecting it to work 100%.It won't!

Read the RoboColum(n) for a tips, tricks and musings on the Technical Communication Suite products.

Sorry to contradict but RH8 in a basic test did seem to run without any problems and I know someone else found the same with a bit more testing. That doesn't mean everything will be perfect as it hasn't been tested to the limits and obviously you will be on your own if something does break as it is not Adobe approved for Windows 7.

Hello Guy,

Are you using RH7 or RH8 in Windows 7?

I am using RH7 and the Tech Comm Suite 1 in Vista (successfully) and considering upgrading to Windows 7 but am a bit reluctant to do so.

I am using RH8 in Windows 7 x64. I came from RH5 previous so I skipped a few versions.
