    I think in your situation it would be worth trying the things listed under the event. It does have to do with FRS and it's easy to do. I've used it to fix journal errors after a server unexpectedly restarts and sysvol stops replicating.  I
    could see where it could fix your issue, and if it doesn't, you're out 5 minutes. :)
    The listed registry key does not exist
    Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

  • Customizable skins for AIR Help viewer?

    Hello all,
    Testing this new AIR help output in RH8 on my projects, I
    already find it difficult to revert to Webhelp or HTML Help. Really
    good things in it!
    However, I was wondering whether the AIR Help viewer skins
    would be customizable... Does anyone know how to do this? Or is
    there a skin gallery for AIR help somewhere?
    I might be asking too much so early after RH8 release but
    with only three skins available, I feel a bit frustrated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dominique

    Hi, Dominique!
    I agree that we only have a "taste" of the potential of can
    be done with AIR help. It is still very new and evolving. The
    templates generally dictate the functionality and the "skins" form
    the cosmetic appearance. Right now you sometimes have to make
    difficult choices between functionality vs. appearance and
    obviously we would like to have control over both!
    I have been able to chat with Adobe folks about this and they
    seem very open to making improvements. This will be tops on my
    personal "wish list" when I visit with them at WritersUA in
    Seattle, March 29. (Peter and Rick Stone will be there as well.
    Perhaps you will be there?)
    Stay tuned. I think you will be hearing more about this in
    the future.
    Thanks,

  • Installation Directory for AIR

    Is there a setting in the RoboHelp Packager for AIR that can control where the .exe file is placed upon installation?  My AIR help always installs in the C:Program Files directory.  I would like it to install in C:\Program Files\Hyland (a submenu off the existing Program Files).

    Your help will automatically be put into a folder with the name of the help file. In the Program Menu Folder field you can specify a sub-folder name such as Hyland and then you help would be something like C:\Program Files\Hyland\Help A. Without specifying that it would be C:\Program Files\Help A.
    http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/air/7/air_rh7.htm shows the screen in the RH7 Air Packager. It's a different layout in RH8 but the field will be the same.

  • How to setup air help auto-update

    RH8 HTML.
    Im fiddling around with the AIR Help file and trying to get the auto update working.
    So far I have the comments syncing perfectly across users with a shared folder on our network.
    I'm now publishing the air file to a shared folder again where everyone can get the  file and where the update.xml file is sitting.
    so I have this looking structure.
    \\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help File.air
    \\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help_Update.xml
    I set everything in RH Air output to publish to these folders, and I can see the newest files each time I do, I change the version numbers from 1.28 to 1.29, and this is reflected in the update.xml file where the version number has changed.
    but when I go into the actual instaleld 1.28 version and use the Check Now feature to look for the latest 1.29 which has over written the 1.28 files in the shared folder, it finds nothing.
    I cant find any way to manually point to where the update should be found.....do the update files have to sit in the same install directory or something? How does this work....aarrrgghhh
    Is there another things I'm not doing?
    Thanks.

    Hi Nick
    Good to hear that you are looking into AIR and Comment syncing is working fine.
    Regarding the AIR auto update feature, you need to do the following
    While generating the AIR file, you need to specify the update XML file location in AIR Help SSL generation option shown in the image below.
    Now install this AIR file, and update the update.xml file and new version of AIR file, and it should work fine.
    So the point is the installed air file need to know where to look for the update.xml file, it can be shared folder or a website.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Air Help and Hyperlinks

    I have added a number of baggage files and hyperlinked them to text in the topic. I generated Adobe AIR help - result is that some of the links are dead. Is this related to "Mark of the Web"? How do I turn it off in AIR help?
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    AIR Help is so new that manu of us are still a bit fuzzy with it. We have played with it a bit, but are by no means totally certified expert users!
    I think the Mark Of The Web (MOTW) is unique to Microsoft Internet Explorer and its behavior. Frankly, I'd be shocked if Adobe were to base anything on that proprietary standard. So my guess is that you are looking at something else entirely. For starters, are we even sure that AIR Help supports the concept and operation of Baggage Files? I'd have to research that and test. It could be that it simply wasn't factored into the mix.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Air Help topic navigation links broken

    I've logged this as a bug, but was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.
    When generating the "Air Help and Browser Based Help" output format (and uploading the browser files to the web server and installing the AirHelp application), the navigation links that appear above the help window and below the search bar/navigation buttons are broken. The example below shows the uni-pane template, but the problem occurs with all templates.
    Upon clicking the first or second topic link (in the red circled area), this displays "The page cannot be found" and the navigation links themselves disappear.
    I noticed that the problem only exists when the topics in the Project Manager are organized into subfolders. If all the topics in the Project Manager reside in the top-level folder, the links navigate properly. Also, the links are only clickable when in online mode, not in local mode. I've been unable to either disable the navigation links entirely, or make them un-clickable in online mode.
    I'm running RH9, Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am not sure what the problem is at this stage but I don't think it is a bug as no one else has hit the problem.
    Please open one of the sample projects and generate some AIR help from that to establish the links work there. That rules out a bug and tells us it is something in your project. What it is will still need to be determined but we will know we are looking in the right place.
    Probably the first thing I would do is apply another skin and not make any changes to the default.
    Post back how you get on. I'm going offline soon but will pick up your reply tomorrow if no one else has waded in.

  • Help Viewer Hyperlinks

    What is the syntax for hyperlinks to and within Help Viewer?

    To open the Help Viewer:

    where gs000 is the page's name in the Finder, without the extension.

  • Help Viewer

    After backing up my hard drive, I erased it and then and copied its contents back from my external drive, Now I can no longer access Help from the menu bar in Pages '08. Help Viewer is not activated and I cannot locate it on my hard drive. Same problem with Numbers. Any suggestions on how I might get the help menu to work again?

    The problem may be that you copied applications back rather than reinstalled them. You might do a search of the external for items with help in them. My guess is that something in a Library (your account's or the main one) is missing.

  • Is there any hope for Help Viewer?

    I have read through as many discussions about Help Viewer problems as I can find, and still, help in Finder doesn't work. I have tried all of Dr. Smoke's suggestions and many others to no avail. Help Viewer still ends up going back to a blank screen, links that don't work, and the search just keeps searching.
    All of the suggestions I have tried fix Help Viewer temporarily, but it has always gone back to its same old broken self.
    If anyone out there can REALLY help, I would REALLY appreciate it.
    Thank you!

    Hi Jordan. Hopefully I can offer a solution for this which bugged me enough to really try to resolve it, and have now done so, at least for me.
    First the essentials.
    System Setup: Powermac G4 Dual 1GHz MDD. 1GB. MacOS 10.4.3
    Issue: Loading Mac Helper from the Finder will result in a blank screen after the first launch. On first launch you will be able to click one or two links then it will not work and search will not function [issues may vary but blank screen always]
    This problem occurred with earlier versions of Tiger. I have since done a clean install. Tried replacing the Help Viewer app from the Install disk and also the MacHelp.help document too, but it did not help. I even tried the same items from other disks just to check for corrupt files but still no change. Trashing the prefs does not seem to make any difference, nor the same with the cache folder but it can resolve other issues, just not this particular one.
    NOTE Before others try this fix I strongly suggest you try the solutions suggested by Apple and those on the very good XLab web site. Here are a few related articles:
    XLab. The most comprehensive guide to the Help issues.Check out the 'Help Viewer displays a blank window.' link.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html
    Apple. From the source. Not quite the same symptoms but offers Help advice on
    'Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: Mac Help Viewer unexpectedly quits'
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107013
    Solution:
    1. Go to User > Library > Caches > com.apple.helpui [note: you need to launch Help Viewer at least once so that this folder is created]
    2. Delete ALL files/ folders in the com.apple.helpui folder, if any.
    3. Create a new folder inside com.apple.helpui and name it 'Mac Help' [the same as that created automatically by Help Viewer, case sensitive].
    4. Select the new folder and use Command + I to see the folder 'Info'. First
    label it red [to aid further diagnostics] and then change ALL the permissions at the bottom to *Read only* [click Details to see the options, not just 'You can'. Include Read only for 'Owner', 'Group' & 'Others'. You will need Admin access for this]. Close the Info panel.
    5. Launch Mac Help from the Finder menu bar. If it was blank before, the Help Viewer screen should show the Mac Help homepage again. Try several links and search and Index. They should all work, and quicker now. Quit and relaunch. This time the Help Viewer works now and no blank screen. The issue with Mac Help is fixed ( but be aware that any other Help folders created could well cause the same issue, so check for these if it still happens and read on for details of how to deal with this other part of the issue)
    *BUT*
    Although this resolves the Mac Help issue, AS SOON AS OTHER MAC APPLICATION HELP's ARE LAUNCHED, IT IS MOST LIKELY THE ISSUE WILL RETURN!, hence the labeling of the Help folders red, to track newly created Help folders (i.e. Mail Help, Safari Help etc). If these are launched this automatically creates help folders in com.apple.helpui for them and they also cause the blank screen problem.
    So, the best thing is to create Help folders in the same way that you did for Mac Help, for ALL Mac applications to avoid having to do it incrementally as and when you use another Mac application Help [or if you do a search it may well create folders anyhow]. These are the Help folders I have created, with the red label and 'Read only' permissions:
    Activity Monitor Help
    Address Book Help
    AirPort Help
    AppleScript Help
    Automator Help
    Bluetooth Help
    Calculator Help
    Chess Help
    Console Help
    Dictionary Help
    Directory Access Help
    Disk Utility Help
    DVD Player Help
    Font Book Help
    Grapher Help
    iCal Help
    iChat Help
    Image Capture Help
    Mac Help
    Mail Help
    ODBC Administrator Help
    Preview Help
    QuickTime Player Help
    Safari Help
    Script Editor Help
    Sherlock Help
    Stickies Help
    System Profiler Help
    Terminal Help
    TextEdit Help
    There are probably more but these are the ones I could find fairly easily. If they are labeled red then it is easy to see if any others appear and cause the issue. Once I have done this I make a backup copy of these folders with the permissions set and archive it for use as and when I need to replace them.
    Result: For me and my setup this has resulted in my being able to use Help normally without the blank screen issue for nearly two weeks now since I spent a lot of time looking at this issue. In fact I find Help works a lot faster and suffers fewer delays. Because this only requires amendments to file permissions, in a folder which is automatically replaced if deleted anyhow, I feel it is a safe and easy enough for most users to do if they have this problem.
    I hope this offers a solution to other users with the same issue and who have tried the other suggestions (Including Dr. Smoke's and from Apple etc) but still have problems with the blank screen.
    The Cause & Other Notes
    Having been frustrated with this issue for several months now I spent some time trying to find the cause. It clearly does not effect everyone, and others have found the suggested fixes, such as trashing the com.apple.helpui cache folder and relevant preference files, have worked for them. It makes it a more complicated problem to identify. It appears perhaps to be related to your type/ speed of connection from the computer to the Apple help servers where the cache folders and files and downloaded from. This seems likely from error messages. It also appears that, for whatever reason, some of those files being automatically created when Help Viewer is launched are the actual problem. In order to explain why I think that, if you have this issue then you should get the exact same repeatable test which led me to find the solution.
    Do this:
    1. Firstly navigate to > Library > Caches > com.apple.helpui and trash this folder. Then before proceeding launch the following apps to help diagnose and follow what is happening:
    a. Console [so you can watch for error message in console.log window]
    b. Activity Monitor [to watch internet traffic during launch and browsing the Help Viewer]
    c. Leave the FInder window so you can watch what happens.
    2. Launch Mac Help from the Finder menu bar. It should launch and show the home page on the screen. Immediately you will see a new com.apple.helpui folder being created. Navigate into this so you can watch what is being placed in the newly created com.apple.helpui folder.
    3. Now click on any of the Help links on the right (not the link to the apple web site). Immediately (slower if dialup and not already connected) you should see traffic over the network as the computer connects to the Apple help servers. Then, in the com.apple.helpui folder you will see a new folder called 'Mac Help'. Also some other numbered (0-15) cache folders which are not of interest right now. And on quit a file called 'TOCCache.plist' which does not effect things. Soon you should see an error in the Console console.log window something like this:
    "2005-11-19 01:57:45.585 Help Viewer[1313] Exception raised during posting of notification. Ignored. exception: * End of archive encountered prematurely at 400"
    I am not sure exactly why this is but it appears to be related to some sort of timeout and failure to fully download some items.
    4. Now try to click on any link or Index. For me, nothing happens and I get only more error messages like:
    "2005-11-19 02:02:21.190 Help Viewer[1313] Uncaught exception - * End of archive encountered prematurely at 400
    2005-11-19 02:02:21.190 Help Viewer[1313] * Attempt to remove unrecognized exception handler 0xbfffdce0"
    The only option is to quit out.
    5. Immediately relaunch Mac Help. If it is like me then it will now be a blank screen accompanied by the following my critical error message:
    "2005-11-19 02:03:33.543 Help Viewer[1319] * NSRunLoop ignoring exception '* End of archive encountered prematurely at 400' that raised during posting of delayed perform with target 375df0 and selector '_setupTOC'"
    Now, everytime I quit a launch Mac Help it is the same error and blank screen.
    This seemed to me to point towards an issue within the com.apple.helpui folder because when it is trashed Help Viewer will launch one time then stop.
    So I went through each folder (I had a number of Help folders the first time) and tried moving it out of the folder, rather like testing for bad prefs in OS8.
    Eventually I tracked the offending file/s down to this:
    User > Library > Caches > com.apple.helpui > Mac Help > Contents > Resources > English.lproj > pgs > pgs.helpindex
    As soon as this file is created then it all stops. Trash this file and relaunch and the homepage appears again until it appears and once again the problem reappears. This is totally repeatable for me.
    Once I had isolated the problem file I tried various solutions to resolve it. The first was to replace it with the same file which is already in the System within the MacHelp.help documentation here (the system Library, not the User path)
    Library > Documentation > Help > MacHelp.help
    Copy MacHelp.help and then use Command + I and 'Show Package Contents' to navigate to:
    MacHelp.help > Contents > Resources > English.lproj > pgs > pgs.helpindex
    (right at the bottom of the pgs folder with hundreds of .html files)
    I then replaced the existing pgs.helpindex with this one. It is different at it has an earlier Created date of 16/03/2005 (my vary), the one in the cache folder is Created 20/10/2005 (may vary?)
    This allowed Help Viewer to launch correctly, but after a short time and re-launch it returned to the blank screen. Examining the file showed it was being overwritten by the later downloaded version, the one causing the problem. This led me to change the permissions to 'Read only' to prevent it being overwritten and after this the Help Viewer worked normally on relaunches.
    I also changed and altered the permissions on the pgs/pgs2.helpindex folder in the same directory as the pgs folder as it seemed to also cause a problem.
    So, finally I resolved the problem, with no error messages, the Help Viewer loading correctly and a working Help. However, I noticed that after a while the blank screen came back. Knowing the pgs.helpindex was OK it seemed likely that other .helpindex files in other Help folders created in the com.apple.helpui folder. This proved the case because, on trashing the new Help folder, it launched again. Swapping the downloaded .helpindex in say, Mail Help, and changing the permissions fixed it, until another Apple application Help folder was created and it re-occurred. The problem does not occur with all the Mac application Helps, but with some (notably for me, Mail Help, Safari Help and some others).
    Finally I found that rather than digging into the apps contents I could get the same fix and also quicker Help browsing by simply creating the actual Help folders as described above and ensuring the .helpindex (or other folders/ files like idx) was not created.
    From nearly two weeks trials it so far appears to completely resolve this issue.
    Just be aware of any new Help folders/ files being created.
    The are a few other observations:
    1. I tried just altering the permissions on the actual com.apple.helpui folder to 'Read only' but whilst it allowed the Help Viewer to open fine, it broke links within the application Help windows.
    2. I have not tried many Helps on other non Apple applications. I find that Toast help triggers error messages:
    "2005-11-19 02:27:02.229 Help Viewer[1340] -[IdxSearchController openIndices:] caught a VTWIN exception. Bad index file is /Applications/Toast 7 Titanium/Toast Titanium.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Toast Help/Toast Help idx
    It is not possible to change the 'Toast Help idx' as it is an exec file. The errors do not seem to break Help Viewer. I had similar error messages from Quicktime Help when it loaded. I suspect that the Toast help is broken for similar reasons as mac Help b (it works for links to installed pages but not external ones). But it could be from the alterations to the Help folders. Either way at least Help works.
    3. It is possible to get most .helpindex files from the relevant application contents but just using the Help folders is a quicker solution.
    4. I can't help feel that the difference between those that have or do not have these issues is a slower connection, i.e. non-broadband. I have a 64k ISDN connection through a router which is pretty much 'always on' with solid 7KB speeds, but it seems this is insufficient for Help to work properly. I read elsewhere that connection speed appears to be an issue and Help is sensitive to this. It would be interesting to know what type of connection people with the issue have. I also have a hardware firewall in the router which may be a factor but it does not stop any other normal traffic and allows the files through anyhow. It has been in place for 6 years and with no issues. Just wanted to note it.
    5. Certainly for my situation, it appears that the files being downloaded from the Apple help servers are actually causing the problem at my end. I can't explain why or how other than the tests explained above are repeatable and that using the same file but from the System file resolves the problem. It remains unclear why a slower connection would lead to files downloading which affect some people but not others? It may be something totally different of course but the error messages in Console do seem to point towards this.
    6. I imagine the reason why the files and folders are downloaded are to ensure that they are kept up to date, as the pgs.helpindex for instance is a later creation date. However I do not seem to have any problems browsing or looking at topics, especially with the 'Include product Support Searches' option selected in the Help View menu. It means that there is extra traffic but gives a wider range of responses from Apple. Perhaps it is better to deselect this option if you have a slow dialup connection?
    Summary
    I hope that this solution can help others with this issue and perhaps other related problems. There is no way of me testing it further and I do not know how others who seemingly do not have a problem can check this. I just know it resolved it for me. I am no expert but a long time Mac user who is used to simple and elegant functionality, not the ongoing saga of the current Help, and wanted the thing just to 'work'.
    Good luck

  • Help View creation

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to create help view from se11.
    It is taking me to a similar screen as in maintanace view. But after activating am not able to run it. can you please tel me the step by step procedure to create a help view and how it is used and how to exceute it.

    Hi
    ->If the selection method for a search help is a database view, the input help displays only the records for which there are entries in all the tables involved in the view (inner join). The set of possible entries is sometimes described by the entries in a primary table for which additional optional information can be added from further secondary tables. This view on the data can be implemented with a help view. The same outer join logic is used for help views as for maintenance views.
    ->A help view is defined analogously to a maintenance view. Help views can only be used as selection methods in search helps. Since the R/3 System cannot pass the selection directly to the database using a help view, it must generate its own access routines. The database view should therefore be used as selection method in preference to the help view.
    ->Selection using a table and text table corresponds to selection using a virtual help view. For this reason, a virtual help view should not be created in this case. Exception: The table contains a field having the same name as a non-key field of the text table. If this field of the text table is needed in the search help, you have to create a help view on the two tables because the field in the search help cannot be accessed directly.

  • Adobe Air application installation using the bundled runtime installer

    P.S. We tried do the same on Linux Mint 10. Everything's fine, application getting installed well.

    Thanks for the reply and solution MrSykes.
    I uninstalled adobe AIR and ran a file and registry cleaner to delete any left over files and installs.
    Then installed the v.15 Adobe AIR beta as recommended.
    The cleaners I used (ccleaner & jv16 power tools) did find some temporary install files and remnants of the Video Alchemy install.
    Tried the install again and still no installation window displays.
    I'm running Windows 7 on my PC and even changed the installation file compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 to no avail.
    Funny that it installed fine on my notebook with Adobe AIR latest version running Windows 7.
    I'm watching task manager as I'm attempting the install and videoalchemy.exe has some cpu usage then drops to zero activity.
    Then Adobe AIR application Installer starts up then cycles to zero cpu activity.
    I'm stumped on this one :-(
    Thanks again for investing the time on my behalf.

  • Changing the default installation settings in AIR installer

    I was wondering if there is a way to change the default settings the the AIR Installer uses when installing an Application that I created.
    More specifically, when the user is going through the installation process for my application using the AIR Installer, I would like the default setting to be to NOT launch the application once the install is completed.
    The reason for this is that my application is intended to only be launched by opening a file with the associated type. When it is launched with either no command line arguments, or invalid ones, the user is given an error message telling them that a file name is expected, and the application is terminated.
    I do not want the user to receive this message immediately following installation (if they do not change the "launch after installation" to NO).
    Is this possible? If not, does anyone have a suggestion to avoid this problem?
    Thanks a lot,
    Jason

    George,
    Thanks a lot, that is very helpful.
    To solve my problem I am going to use that method (Create a new file @ startup, see if it exists, and if it does not exist then it is the first time running) and tweak it a little to solve my exact problem.
    I need to be sure that the application is being run after installation (from the installer), because the user MAY select "do not run after install", in which case the first time they try to run the program by opening an associated file, the program will exit, which is not a good first impression to leave on the user.
    So I will check if the file exists created and if then i will check if arguments (file name) is being passed.
    1. If a file name argument is passed I'll create the file and continue running to program. - First time run, but not from installer.
    2. If no argument is present and it is the first time, I will shut down immediately with no message. - First time running/run from installer.
    3. If no argument is present and file exists, exit with error (file needed). - Not the first time run, but no argument passed.
    4. If argument exists and and file exists, run program. - Normal execution.

  • Update Adobe AIR help content without necessity of installation for users???

    Hello there,
    I want to make our manuals available as Adobe AIR help applications. Unfortunately for our users it is not possible to regularly install these applications. Therefore I decided to generate a help viewer as AIR file and help content as RHA file ("help content only" ssl option). So admins only once have to install an initial AIR file. Afterwards users are able to replace help content to update help files.
    I proceeded in a similar way as described here:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2010/07/merging_multiple_helps_in_air_help_output.html
    In principle this is a good solution - but here is my problem:
    Help content itself already consists of different projects (merged projects). Merged projects unfortunately cannot be generated with "help content only" ssl option.
    Anyone has got an idea how to satisfy all my conditions:
    - Customers only once have to install an AIR file
    - Afterwards help content can be updated by replacing files (without installation)
    - Help content itself contains merged projects .
    Generate different outputs (RHA files) for the merged projects is not a possibility. The merged projects with regard to content belong to ONE single manual - I'm not talking about different manuals. So users should be able to search the whole manual and so on ...).
    Thank you so much in anticipation!
    Melanie

    It has always irritated me that the blog you refer to uses the term "merged help". It is not merged help, it is simply a collection of outputs where the user can select the one they want.
    My site does have instructions for a true merged AIR Help output but that will not achieve your objective of one install. Sorry but I don't think what you want can be achieved.

    The method is the same for Rh10.
