Cannot open .CHM file when Application is running in Service Mode.

Hello All,
I have a compiled HTML help file (.CHM) that i am trying to
integrate with my VB 6.0 project.
I am using RH_ShowHelp function (which uses htmlhelp()) to
launch the Help File.
All is fine when i run my program in Application Mode.
But, when i install my app in Service Mode, (running under
SYSTEM account) - it does not work.
I have tried to use ShellExecute API as well, and that does
not work either.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working
from services mode?
Is there some other function call or parameters needed...
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
G

Software executed as a service is usually running as a
background task and
is usually executed not by the current logged-in user but by
a special
default "user" named "System". There are a number of
advantages to having
software run as a service... it can run continuously no
matter who's logged
into the system or even if the system is locked.

896358: Cannot open CHM files

I hope this isn't indicative of MS's patch quality continuing to take a nosedive.
I need for certain users to be able to open CHM files from a network share. Easy cheesy. Sadly the 'workarounds' seem to function (or not) wildly differently across OS versions and architecture.
I have Win7 64 and 32 bit machines. 64 bit work fine when the 'allowed' URLs are specified in the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\HTMLhelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions - value UrlAllowList). No zone modification needed.
However;
32 bit Win 7 machines do not work with this method. Unless the user is a local administrator (not happening). I cannot get them to work at all. Can anyone please help me understand what needs to be done differently for these clients?
Thanks!

Hi n4,
Have you tried to add a MaxAllowedZone value under the registry key?
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\HTMLhelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions
If not, you may take a try:
1. Right-click the ItssRestrictions subkey, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
2. Type MaxAllowedZone, and then press Enter.
3. Right-click the MaxAllowedZone value, and then click Modify.
4. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
5. Quit Registry Editor.
If the above steps do not work for you, please see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358 for alternatives.

"Cannot open resource file" when InDesign CS6 starts.

I have an Intel Mac Pro running OS/X Snow Leopard.
When I open InDesign CS6 I get an error "Cannot open resource file", but there is no indication of what file it can't open.
When I click OK in the dialog box, InDesign opens and appears to be working.
I am concerned that this may cause a problem as I continue to use it.
Is there any way I can correct this issue?
I also have InDesign CS5.5 installed on the same Mac and it runs fine with no resource error.

I tried uninstalling InDesign, once I figured out how to do that with Creative Cloud that is (it's not an option in the Adobe Application Manager - which I think it should be).
Anyway, after uninstalling and reinstalling, the error is still there.
I also tried Peter's suggestion to remove the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData and have them recreated but that didn't work either. I even tried the cmd-ctrl-opt-shift method to delete the preference files and still I get the "Cannot open resource file" error.
I thought that it was just a glitch since if I click "OK" in the dialogue box InDesign seems to open fine and then even let me open up a document that I had been working on in InDesign CS5.5.
But ....
Even though the document opened fine, as soon as I click on a text field, any text field, InDesign crashes.
I tried three different documents and it does the same thing.
It didn't crash when I selected a graphic or an embedded pdf but it does as soon as I click on any text field.
Does that help narrow down what the resource file error is?
By the way, I can open InDesign CS5.5 just fine (same computer) with no resource file error and it does not crash when I select a text field, so the issue seems to be strictly with CS6.

Cannot open chm file

Hi,
I've found several threads on this site conserning error
messages containing: mk:@MSITStore , but none of them seems to fit
my situation.
I worked in RH on a project, generated a new chm file a
couple of times a day. No problem. Then suddently after generating
another time I could not open the chm - not from within RH project,
not from the folder, not when copying the (newly generated) chm to
the desktop.
The message is: "Cannot open the file:
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program Files\RoboHelp Office...\..\filename.chm"
I've shortened it here with a couple of folders, but no it is
not very deep. I'ts at the same level as my other projects, so
that's not the problem.
I can open older chm files generated from other projects as
before, so there is nothing wrong with the help function itself.
I've tried deleting the chm file, rebooting my pc, regenerating -
but no result.
I also tried the MJ's Diagnostics and the only problem found
was:
HTML Help 1.x Workshop Components*** HH Workshop not found or
not installed correctly. Try reinstalling.
But it seems like this 1.x is something very old and my
installation has worked up until now. Do I really need to reinstall
something and exacly what and how? Is this an RH component or MS
component?
Any clues are welcome.
Thanks
Sara

Hi John,
Thanks for trying to help out. It's solved now. I should have
written the solution here right away, but I was so happy that I
could continue with my work so I forgot about it.)
What I did was that I looked at the single source layout and
I thought that Optimize CHM File Size might cause a problem (a shot
in the dark - but you have to try everthing). I deselected it and
regenerated. Voila - it worked. Then, with trembeling hands, I
selected it again and regenerated - it still worked. Maybe this
change of the layout made it save again properly and restart from
scratch. But i thought that I had tried a similar thing before when
a made new layouts to see if they would work, and they didn't.
So, it's solved, but I'm not really sure what was wrong and
what solved it.

I cannot open PDF files when I am using Firefox, how can I fix this?

I cannot open PDF files while I am using Firefox. This is true for opening PDF pages in Firefox and outside of Firefox.

I ran into the same problem, and here is what I have done to fix it.
Go to Tools/Add-ons
You might have to get the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (Likely 10.x.....)
On any exiting Adobe Acrobat Reader select disable (to disable the plug-in)
If you have already gotten the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader just disable any earlier version.
There is no official way to uninstall a plug-in so this it the workaround.
If you do need to uninstall the plugin you need to type about:config ....about:plugins search for the article to do it.

Cannot open .jnlp file when asked to open with firefox web browser in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

After upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox 6 browser cannot download and open .jnlp file from the interactivebrokers website. Usually I go to the IB website and download tws.jnlp file which is opened in the firefox web browser. But now when I click on the Open with Firefox Browser button, the firefox browser opens a new tab and display the same open window again.

Seems that after upgrading to 11.10, jnlp files open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
If you right click the file on the download folder and choose "open with" you can manually select java web start.
Ubuntu bug...
You can right click any .jnlp file and select "properties", go to "Open With" tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "Set as Default". Should fix it. I don't know what would happen if you have the default ubuntu java instead of Sun's. Maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

Hi
What's your portal version ?
What response headers do you receive from the webcache port ? (using something like IEhttpheaders but for mozilla, maybe Firebug will help you to get them).

Can I prevent Mac OS X Lion from opening previous files when applications are launched?

Since upgrading to Lion each time I click on a file (and the program opens) in addition to the file I clicked on also the most recent file I had open in that program opens also. Is there any way to prevent this action?

Open CHM file

hi2all
I want to open .chm file when i click on help menu. I had already tried
Runtime.getRuntime().load("C:/html/help.chm");
but this throw an exception that "C:/html/help.chm" is not a win32 application.

If you are using java 1.6, use can simply use it's new desktop integration to open any file with an associated application... If you are using older java, download and use jdic library...
it's
desktop.open(file);
where desktop is a java.awt.Desktop (or org.jdesktop.jdic.desktop.Desktop) object... that simple... :)

Cannot open source file

I just downloaded some new drum sounds on Logic Pro X that were offered upgrades and now I get an error message in my regular work that states,
"Cannot open source file" when I go to import an mp3 large file into any template or new project.
I've trashed preferences and have plenty of room to import the large files I usually work with.
Need guidance please.

Thanks Pancenter, that helped. I still hear a slight difference in the tone of voice speaking in a 48k session also.
Do you think this is the difference of being recorded at 44.1 mp3, then change to m4a and export the now 48k file into a 48k Logic session? I didn't see a way of changing Quicktime Player sample rate to 44.1, which is preferred in this instance. Future recordings I can set up at 48k but I have a bunch of files at 44.1 waiting for me that need a solution first.
Whew, and yes what a pain to do this when it worked fine before. (although for my work, I would prefer to edit as mp3 instead of turning into AIF then mp3 again- too much giggage wasted for this use)
Still open to other solutions without undoing the new sounds & such I just upgraded.

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

Hello,
I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry. I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC. In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse

I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

"Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer. I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
Extraction Failed
Cannot Open Output File
And the process closes. It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
Any idea why? I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support?? Poor, poor customer service.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
If you haven't still got the Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop. If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
Download and install 7-ZIP. Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ). Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K
