Adobe RoboHelp 8.0.0 update issue

I need to update Adobe RoboHelp from version 8.0.0 to version 8.0.2. The update package seems to download, but nothing is installed (InstallShield only shows the "Remove components" option).
Can somebody provide me with a solution.

Hello Dmitry,
Try downloading the update file manually using following links and then run the Update installer and see if that works.

http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/robohelp/win/8.x/adobe_roboHelp_patch_8_0_1.exe
Hope that works, if there is any error message please let me know.
Thanks!

Issue is not resolved.
Latest technician was a total waste of time. Had not read previous case notes, had me retry procedures that had failed on previous t
hree attempts to work with technicians.
Wanted me to delete and reinstall entire CS5 Suite with a new user account: said it was a Microsoft registry issue, not an Adobe pro
blem. I lose two days of work, and have to reinstall all plug-ins for the entire suite. Asinine for a problem with Illustrator.
How about some competent help for a change? How about repairing Illustrator registry (if that, indeed, is the problem)?

Thank you Adobe support for more wasted time, non-solutions, and non-call backs.
Spent 40 minutes on hold yesterday, spoke with a technician who was running through the standard diagnostics, and was disconnected a
fter about five minutes.
Spent about 50 minutes with a young woman this morning who was also unable to do anything. She wanted to uninstall and reinstall the
entire suite, which I declined to do.
Another tech called, and an appointment for 2:00 PM was set up. It is about 3:30 PM, and still no call back.
After researching the issue on non-Adobe sites, I was able to get the Toolkit up-date to work. Illustrator will still not up-date (s
ee attached error messages). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same result.
Thanks again for the lack of support!

Microsoft was very helpful in resolving this issue. There is also an error in Adobe's Cleaner Tool: Microsoft's Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer recommended for anything other than Office, as it may corrupt Windows 7 files, and is not available from Microsoft.
Situation
Apparently the attempted install of Illustrator patch 15.0.2 corrupted some Illustrator, as well as Windows 7 files.
Solution
The solution was to run a Windows 7 [in my case Professional] "in-place up-grade." This essentially reinstalls Windows while retaining all install and other information. Worked flawlessly.
Second step was to run generall follow Adobe CS 5 Cleaner Tool instructions. Illustrator would not totally uninstall, but the error log indicated that the problem was deleting some empty directories. It appears they were write protected [a change an Adobe Tec had me make], so I manually deleted them. Please see note above about Microsoft's Installer Clean-Up Utility: it is no longer available from Microsoft.
On reinstall there were a number of error messages, which did not appear too important. I ran install a second time, then applied up-dates for the next few hours.
All up-dates were successfully downloaded and installed, and the past two days the suite seems to be working fine.
Wrap-Up
Thank you Microsoft and Milenium. Continued thumbs down for Adobe support.

Adobe RoboHelp for Word 8.0 - Issues

Hi
I am using a Trial version of RoboHelp for Word 8.0, and would like to receive comments on the following issues:
It would appear that Manual Page Breaks in the middle of a long topic (inserted for printing purposes), are causing the data from beyond that point on to be ignored.
Links (hyperlinks) in the Word document "appear" to be links in the generated HTML ... but are not links.
All Tables in the Word input are set at 100% ... but the generated HTML is "fixed width".
Images in the Word input are links to an image library (absolutely mandatory in this application) ... but it appears that the generated HTML is using the Word version of the image, rather than the image in the image library. This results in poorer quality and differences in size when compared to the images in the library.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
MBarryH

For 1, Peter is correct. You will need to remove the page breaks in your document within a page. RH uses hard page breaks to indicate a new topic is there.
For 2, Word uses a different method to insert hyperlinks like mailtos. RH needs to use its own code to make these links (i.e., Insert html and mailto:). You will need to remove the hyperlink, then insert the link using RH. If you have many of this mailto links to replace, use Word's copy and paste to copy the RH code for the link and paste it where needed.
For 3, I believe HTML code only supports fixed width tables. It will not automatically make the table wider when the window is maximized. I find the best width for tables to be 6 inches.
For 4, images placed in Word docs are often created in different graphics programs. RH uses more simplifed graphics programs such as Paint. I suggest you open each imgage in Paint, then save as a bmp file using a more familiar name than image001.bmp, etc. During the compile, RH will convert the bmp to a good gif file and use it in the topic. Then, in your doc, delete the image and then select to insert the graphic using this function in RH. This makes a direct link to the image file. You can also modify the image directly and changes will appear in the pix when you compile it. It is easier if you are viewing the doc in true code in RH rather than WYSIWYG. If the image is in the doc itself, the imagennn.bmp is ignored. Note, if you must use the WYSIWYG, these images show up as blank areas in your doc when you are in draft view. Word 2007 only makes them show up when you are in print view. So, you may want to consider putting a border around the image so you can see it in draft view.
I have used RH for Word for over 15 years. Word adds more quick editing features than RoboHTML does. For example, paint, search and replace -- all in terms of something you already use when working with Word. The only adjustments you may have is when MS comes out with a new version of Word itself. As MS makes Word easier for the novice user, they sometimes cause problems for the powerusers. However, there are always ways to work around these issues. RH for Word is easier to use if you use the show formatting marks in Word so you can tell what is happening. You will be able to see the code used in the RH links and the paragraph marks to see what Word is doing. Be aware to spellcheck your doc, choose to hide these marks and spell check will ignore text formatted as hidden.

RoboHelp 10.0.1 Update installation fails with error code: U44M2P7

After installing RoboHelp 10, I ran the 10.0.1 Update's installer. It failed with the following error log:
Adobe RoboHelp 10.0.1 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P2
I tried re-installing RoboHelp 10, followed by a reboot of the machine. Several attempts to run the 10.0.1 updater gave me exactly the same error. No applications were running when the installation was attempted.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Adobe RoboHelp 8 Pop-up Issue

Since upgrading to Adobe RoboHelp 8 from a former Macromedia version, the Topic Heading's will not display in the Pop-up windows. The pop-up headings worked in the older version. The graphics that are in the heading appear but the text which is defined as Heading 1 does not. Does anyone have a suggestion for correcting this problem?

Thanks for your input. I've checked both CSS files for negative margins and there's not a single negative margin in any of my styles. Following along these same lines, I do have some margins specified by Points and a few others by Pixels, which may or may not cause a problem. I really don't think that's the issue because it's not caused any problems to this point. Here are the relevant styles:
Heading 1: This text displays properly
H1 {
          font-weight: bold;
          font-size: 14pt;
          margin-top: 9pt;
          margin-bottom: 9pt;
          color: #000080;
Normal: This text is not visible
BODY {
          background-color: #ffffff;
          font-family: Arial, san-serif;
          font-size: 10pt;
          color: #000000;
P {
          font-family: Arial, san-serif;
          color: #000000;
          margin-bottom: 9pt;
          margin-top: 10pt;
Please let me know if there's anything else I can provide that may point to the root problem. Thanks.

Lates Adobe Reader Update Issue

My Mozilla plug-in page says my Adobe Reader needs updated. Now I have the latest version XI 11.0.08. It does not need updated but this apparently is the Acrobat version which mine is 11.0.8.4. I don't remember having problems updating before but it is asking something new now when you go to update. It was asking for my system with a lot of choices to pick from. All I have is Windows XP so the only 2 things I saw that I figured were for me would have been Windows XP SP3 or 2 (64-bit). I know I have Windows XP SP3 installed so I picked that. Then it asks for language, picked English, then it asked for version. 2 choices, either Reader 11.0.08 English for Windows or 10.1.4 English for Windows. I knew my Adobe XI was 11.0.08 so I picked that. So when I went to install it said I already had it and finished. Still plug-in says it needs updating. Was I supposed to pick 10.1.4 English for Windows instead? They never asked these questions before. So I am at a loss. Technically I have Adobe XI 11.0.08 and this new one is called Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which can work on all devices (of which I have none). So perhaps I don't need to worry about it. I don't know. Thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who could help me. Also my Avast program says my Adobe Reader does not need updated but we're talking about the actual program, not the Acrobat part which I guess is different.
Same deal with my Java. Since I have XP the next update was for Version 8 but it said I could go ahead and install but it may not work now with XP. So I haven't bothered doing that and left it with Java 7 update 76.
Well thanks if anyone can let me know if I picked the wrong thing or not to worry about it.

Hi FredMcD,
Thanks for the response but yeah I've gone through this before with the plug-in thingy. LOL! But what's different is it's saying Adobe Reader 11.0.8.4 is old and I have no idea what the new one is since it won't install but it's called something different. It's now Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
My Adobe Reader XI is up to date with 11.0.08 but on it too it offers the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC upgrade in a different place and when you click on it, it brings you back to the plug-in page all over again. It is something different from my Adobe Reader XI. So that's what makes this whole thing confusing. But, perhaps I shouldn't worry about it and thanks for trying to help!

Robohelp 10 crashes when updating linked Frame 11 files

I recently upgraded from TCS 3 to 4 and this project worked fine before the upgrade.
Whenever I update the book linked to RoboHelp, it crashes and I receive an "Adobe RoboHelp 10 has stopped working message" (below).
If I update individual files in the book, RoboHelp does not seem to have a problem with files that do not have many linked images.
I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise. 8 GB RAM. The source control for the Frame files is Documentum, so they reside locally on my PC at C:\Users\user.name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\Documentum\<connection_name>\<reposit ory>\

Hello,
TCS4 with Acrobat update to XI, unstructured FM. Win8.
I am having the same problem, and I am very concerned. This is definitely a new problem so something has changed recently - perhaps an Acrobat update?
I have been linking my FM books to RH and happily converting graphics through distiller for several years now. The last time I successfully did this was in February, with no problems. Now, I am starting a new round of help releases. As soon as RH encounters a chapter with graphics to convert, it crashes. This is not a problem with a particular graphic or particular FM chapter. It happens on any FM chapter with a graphic. Many of my graphics have callouts so it's possible that it occurs due to this, but it wasn't a problem before.
Things I've tried:
Started a new RH project.
Changed the image conversion to not use Distiller. This resulted in no problems whatsoever, but the graphics quality is not acceptable.
Converted a chapter with no graphics. No crashing.
Tried using Distiller, but created .gif instead of .png. Still resulted in an immediate crash.
Deleted the CPD file after each crash.
Observed Distiller and looked for error messages in the log. There are none. It looks like 2 -3 graphics are converting before the crash. I went to the temp folder where these are being distilled but could not really make sense of what's there... there are 2-3 PDFs of my images in each temp folder. There's a temp folder for each time I crashed.
OK I admit I am really worried about this new issue.

RoboHelp 8 Crashes on Updating All Files

Hi there
I am using TCS 2.0 wth RoboHelp 8 and FrameMaker 9. I have many issues with this integration but that can wait for later. My current issue is with Robohelp that continuously crashes when I do an Update All. Files are linked between Frame and Robo. The last change I made was to the markers in Frame. I am having Robo create filenames based on markers in Frame (filenames are numeric). This is for simplifying localization. Anways after I changed some of the markers, not all of them, from a numeric filename to a regular naming convention (due to another issue which I won't go into here), RoboHelp crashed on an Update All. I tried to go back and change the markers to the way they were when things were mostly working as expected, but RoboHelp is still crashing. It's of course down to the wire in the project and I'd rather not spend time uninstalling software that should be working and should be bug free. So if anyone has any suggestions on getting this to work they would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I'm on Windows Vista.
Thank you
Gerry

Hi Gerry
You say you are using Windows Vista. On that count alone I will tell you that you aren't using software that is "Bug Free". All software has bugs.
By no stretch of the imagination whatsoever do I claim to know anything about Frame other than how to say it, but have you tried simply creating a totally fresh RoboHelp project, then linking it to Frame? I suppose that's something I might consider, given what you have told us.
Cheers... Rick

OSX: Adobe Creative Cloud unable to update (stall at 50%)

Hey experts,
ever since signing up for Creative Cloud I have been unable to update any application as my regular user on OSX. After exchanging 23 emails with the Adobe support in 2013 I finally gave up and created a workaround in the hope that the Adobe developers would finally look into the issue and fix the bug. With the last update of Creative Cloud my workaround stopped working so I took time to do a complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud to see if the bug was finally fixed. It was not.
The bug:
-Installation of Creative Cloud and Photoshop, Lightroom etc. through the Creative Cloud app works.
-Any try to update a CC applicaton (e. g. Photoshop CC 2014 results in the state "waiting" at 50%):
-Trying to update through the menu of Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 "Aktualisierungen"
resulted in the following error message:
Translation: "Update failed. Unable to apply updates. Adobe Application manager is already running. Close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates. etc."
What I tried to resolve the problem:
What did not work:
-Complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud:
     -Uninstall of all Adobe applications
     -Ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool
     -Eliminated every single *[Aa]dobe*-folder on my disk including my profile.
     -Reboot
     -Re-installation using a fresh CC download.
-The common 1st-level-support acts of desperation:
     -Rebooting
     -Checking the file system
     -Fixing permissions
-The bug even survived 2 OSX system upgrades
-Even tried to track down the bug myself which I gave up after having discovered the endless chain of Creative Cloud and AAM-Processes executing each other...
What worked:
-Installing updates as another OSX user. (Which is cumbersome and to be honest I am unwilling to create a new profile and redoing the settings of all installed (especially non-Adobe) applications because of an Adobe bug...)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I am trying to generate a project as WebHelp and after about 10 minutes of generating, the following error message appears: "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I am able to generate all other projects, just not this project.
This project is not on the network. It used to be on the network, but I moved it to my local directory awhile ago.
I tried restarting the computer. I tried generating from another computer and that did not work either.
I tried repairing the CPD through Microsoft Access. (I am not able to rename the CPD, because when I do that, almost all of my topics appear as broken links, so I use Microsoft Access to repair the CPD instead).
Is there anything else I can check or try?
Thanks,
Debbie

Thanks. I didn't see anything in the .HHP.
However, I think I'm getting closer to finding the solution (at least I
think I've found the problem).
I have various conditional tags. One is called "uni2" and one is called
"Remove_in_uni2".
When I generate with "uni2" excluded and "Remove_in_uni2" included, the
WebHelp generates.
When I switch them ("Remove_in_uni2" excluded and "uni2" included), then I
get the error.
I tried removing the underscores - didn't work.
I tried renaming it to RemoveIn18 - didn't work.
Any suggestions, anyone?
Thanks,
Debbie
                                                                                From:       Peter Grainge <[email protected]>

Subject:    Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
The CPD is created from RoboHelp's internal files so a repair will not
necessarily fix the issue as Access will not know what to look for. A
rebuild is what is needed and it should not result in the broken links you
are seeing. However, that can happen and I have seen it. After repairing
the links, I had no further problems. Try generating a CHM first as if that
will create, it may make changes to the HHP that prevent the broken links.
Also take a look in the HHP for any obvious path errors.
Do you have many folders in the project? If not, creating a new project
should not be too painful as you can import all the topics in a folder in
one hit.

Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Keep Getting Adobe RoboHelp 9 has stopped working Message

I am running on Windows 7 Professional, SP1, 4GB RAM, 64-bit OS, with Administrative privileges using Adobe RoboHelp version 9.0.1.232. I am creating projects on my C drive and linking them to Word 2010 docx files that are on the network then generating them as AIR files for testing purposes at this point. Each linked document is a technical manual (with a TOC and index) having anywhere between 100 and 1000 pages. The plan is to create a project for each of the 20 manuals then link them together and generate a Master Project as an AIR file to distribute to our customers. The manuals contain flowcharts, bullets, numbered lists, images, tables, hyperlinks, etc with approximately 100 custom styles defined in one Normal.dotm file. Only defined styles are used in each of the manuals and all manuals use the same Normal.dotm file. Each custom style is linked to a corresponding style in a custom RoboHelp css file used by all RH projects.
I have a default project that is used to create each separate project which includes a linked docx file that contains each of the custom styles so I do not have to link each Word style to the corresponding RH style every time I create a project for a different manual. My process is this: create project, link docx file, change Properties to create new TOC, Index, Glossary, Generate the linked document, Update linked document (when applicable), generate the AIR file, then update the Word document (in Word) as necessary. I then Update the linked document in RH and generate the AIR file again....and keep doing that until it looks good. So far, I have successfully created projects for 11 manuals with projects ranging in size from 20 to 50 MB. So I know the problem is not my styles, etc.
My problem is this....I will sometimes get the message 'Adobe RoboHelp 9 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'. Sometimes, I will get the message when the manual has been updated in Word and I select Update in RoboHelp while other times it occurs when I am first getting the project set up. Right now, I am getting this message when I select Generate for the linked manual. I checked my application log file and see that I am getting an EventID 1000, Task Category 100 error. The manual is 477 pages/7.6 MB and the RoboHelp project is 42 MB and has only two really small flowcharts. I have successfully created a project for this manual a couple times before after updating the Word document for things I saw in the AIR file, but when I selected Update in RH, I would get the message and the project was then corrupt so I had to start over. I know it is not an installation problem because I can then open another project and it works fine.
Things I have tried without success: copied the linked manual to my C drive to remove the network aspect. Closed all other applications so only the Word document and RoboHelp are open. My experience has been that in most cases, RoboHelp is happier when I have the manual I am working with open in Word but have also tried it without Word running. I have tried creating the project on the root of C instead of in my folder. Tried it when no one else was on the network (5 am). In one case, I pulled out a chapter that was about 50 pages of flowcharts - which fixed that one. All our flowcharts are inserted into borderless tables as metafiles so they are not free-floating.
Any help anyone could give me as to why this is happening or what I can do differently so as to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Kathi

My inclination is that it is something in the projects or in the manuals being linked that is the culprit because that is where the consistency lies - projects were created identically and manuals all follow identical formats. The problem typically only occurs after the project has been successfully created and the manual is subsequently updated and I am syncing the manual in RH so I can generate a new AIR file. This is the first time the project has consistently corrupted every time I try to generate the Word document after linking it in RH. This makes little sense to me since it generated fine a couple weeks ago and I did nothing special when I updated it in Word yet when I tried to update it in RH, that is when it originally corrupted. The bottom line is that I cannot 100% trust that any project I run will work the next time. I end up just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
My problems seemed to start once I went to RH9 (from RH8) because we had upgraded from MS Office 2003 to the 2010 version and I needed 9 for the docx extension. Like I said, it is not all the time - I can be beating my head against the wall getting one of the projects to work, then create 3 more projects that have no problems and then the next one leaves me wanting to throw my PC through a window....
Deleting the CPD does not corrupt the project, it just removes my default linked document that allows me to circumvent linking the styles individually for that project. Once I have a manual linked and I remove the CPD, it just creates a new one. What I am saying is that if I delete the CPD file, it does not prevent the project from corrupting nor does it make the corrupted project viable again.
thanks!
Kathi
