Cannot Run CHM File on a 2nd machine

Windows Vista finally forced me to update an old hlp file to
chm format. Using Robohelp 5.0, I converted the hpj project to a
chm file. If I leave the file in place, all topics and pages
display fine. If I move the chm file to another machine, each topic
and page displays as "This program cannot display the webpage" (I
have IE 7.0 loaded).
It looks like the pages are just links inthe HTM file and of
couse, the source is not on the second machine.
Is there a switch I am missing?
Thanks
Doug

Sorry, just found another post from Colum on 2/9. Seems like
CHM files don't work on network drives which is where my 2nd
machine pointed to.
Here is is reponse from 2/9/2007
Indeed I have. Check out this link for an explanation and
possible fixes.

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 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.

Cannot run jar file with J9!!

Help!! Cannot run installer files

Hi,
I seem to be having a problem running installer files. Once I double click on to run a file, i get an error message saying that there is no default application to run the document ..
I am trying to install Safari, and iWork
Any ideas anyone?

The default application to open installer files is Installer, located in /Application/Utilities. There is a bug where it sometimes vanishes. If this has happened to you, you'll need to reinstall it. To do so, use Pacifist to retrieve it from your original system installer disks.

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.

Cannot restore some files/folders from Time Machine Backup

When I try and restore files or folders from my Pictures folder, which is a sub folder of my user I get the message "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access xxxx". As far as I can tell this has only just started to happen because I've recovered stuff from the folder since I bought the machine in July. Yesterday I deleted an old Time Machine backup folder from the Time Machine disc. This caused empty trash to go berserk - the "files to delete" count went negative and I had to stop/restart the empty trash command about 20 times before it sorted itself out. Maybe this has screwed some permissions somewhere? I have run disc utility and repaied permissions on my hard drive and verified the TM drive. Still no joy. The permissions for Pictures look OK. Anyone any ideas?

Yesterday I deleted an old Time Machine backup folder from the Time Machine disc. This caused empty trash to go berserk - the "files to delete" count went negative
Probably you corrupted your Time Machine Backup by manually deleting older backups- that is dangerous.

Cannot run .class file. What's wrong, please?

Hi,
I have installed J2SDK1.4.2_03 in D: drive in folder JavaApplications.
Have appended the path: ;D:\JavaApplications\bin in System Variable.
Written a simple program named WhatIsYourName.java and saved in D:\JavaPractices
At D:\JavaPractices> compile the program using javac WhatIsYourName.java and it is OK
At D:\JavaPractices> checked directory and the WhatIsYourName.class file is there.
When typed: java WhatIsYourName
Error message appears:
Error: could not open C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\lib\i386\jvm.cfg
Reinstalled J2SDK1.4.2_03 in D: drive in folder JavaApplications again, same error.
When I checked the C:\Program Files, there is a bin and lib folders residing in a 1.3.1_07 folder in the JRE folder. The JRE folder is found in a folder called JavaSoft. Is it because of this that the error occurred?
Could not understand why?
Please help.
Thank you very much.
Theophilus

Hi ChuckBing,
You are right. The older version is being found first. After removing the older version I can run the .class file.
Need to ask you about checking the full path when invoking java which you suggested. At D:\JavaPractices directory am I supposed to type \JavaApplications\bin\java WhatIsYourName ? I don't quite get what you mean.
Thank you very much.

I can compile java, but I cannot run class file.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Demonstrate
That is the error I get when I type: java Demonstrate
I have "C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin" in the path for the Environment Variables in windows xp. I've even tried to insert that into a CLASSPATH several ways and it does not change the error.
javac Demonstrate.java works fine. That compiled file can work on other computers. Because of that, I do not think it's a setting error. Any ideas ? Thanks for any help.

Microsoft problem? I like nothing better than bashing M$, but this sounds like a CLASSPATH problem to me.
I'll assume that your Demonstrate.java does NOT have a package statement in it and has a main method that you'd like to run. If so, you compile like this:
javac Demonstrate.javaThe result is a Demonstrate.class file in the same directory as Demonstrate.java.
Now, type this in the command shell right in the directory where Demonstrate.class lives to run it:
java -classpath . DemonstrateYou won't get that ClassNotFoundException.
Whenever you see that exception, it means you don't have your CLASSPATH set properly. - MOD
You won't get ta

Cannot Compile CHM -- Message says to close all HTML Help windows

Running TCS 1.3 with latest patches.
Single source project - output to HTML Help (.chm).
When I try to compile, I receive the following message:
"Cannot create compiled file. It may be open in another window. Please close all HTML Help windows and try again."
I don't have any HTML Help windows open. Shutting down RH and restarting does not resolve the problem. I have to shut down the computer, which is a serious hassle, before I can compile again. I do work from a network directory, which may be causing it, but I'd like to know if there is a process I can kill from the Windows Task Manager that would allow me to compile without having to restart my computer. I don't see any process that identifies itself as something I can kill to resolve this issue.
Anyone?

Hi there
That message normally indicates you have launched the .CHM file that you are trying to create. The first step of the process is to destroy the existing .CHM in preparation for building the new one. Just as you would need to destroy a house on a lot where you wish to build a new one.
If your .CHM is on a network drive, another user may have it open. (yet another good reason for working locally)
If your .CHM is on your local drive, RoboHelp believes you have it open. If you press Alt+Tab, you may see a blue up arrow. That will indicate the running CHM file.

Problem running .exe files

I cannot run .exe files on Windows 10. A pop-up window shows a message that the .exe file I am trying to run is missing. What can I do to solve this problem ?

Keep in mind that the Win 10 build "refresh" operations are clearing parts of the registry back to default values, so some things you've installed might end up uninstalled or only half installed after an upgrade to a new TP build.
What EXACTLY is going wrong? In other words, exactly what are you trying to do, and what is the exact content of the message(s) you're seeing.
Details matter.

Problem running swf file outside dev environment

If I copy my bin-debug folder outside the dev environment
i.e. any where in hard disk and run the html file the swf is unable
to connect to the HttpService.
Is there any way to solve this problem.. Its working fine
when i am running it from inside of flex builder bin-debug dir.
"Crossdomain.xml" is also provided.
Thanks

This is probably due to security restrictions of running a
file on your local machine that access network resources. Try
running the SWF file via a network request and not opening it as a
file (use the
http:// protocol rather than file:// in your
browser).

Crashes when running applications from network share - "Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons"

Hi,
starting a couple of weeks ago, we get the following error(s) when running applications from a network share. We don't know what causes this, we are not aware of any major changes in our network infrastructure or client/Server configuration. We did upgrade
a lot of machines to Windows 8, but the issue also occurs on older Win7 computers.
We figured out a workaround though: The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share (like
\\share.domain.Company.com) and only cause problems when running from
\\share directly. They have worked fine for years without FQDN though.
Any ideas?
Error Details (the Kind of error differs greatly):
# 1 #
Log Name: Application
Source: Application Error
Date: ...
Event ID: 1005
Task Category: (100)
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: vmDEV
Description:
Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program XYZ
because of this error.
Program: XYZ
File:
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

Hi,
>>The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share
It sounds like a DNS suffix issue. When this issue occurs, please try to ping share on the client, then check if the corresponding IP address is correct. If the IP address is wrong, please adjust your settings of DNS to make sure that the client can resolve
the share correctly.
If it's very hard to change the settings of the DNS for some reason, as a work around, we can add the entry into the clients' hosts file.
