  • New version no longer generates .cnt, .fts, or .hlp files?

    Hi!  I inherited a project to update a Help application that hasn't been touched in 7 years.  I'm not sure what version the old one was in, I think it might have been 5, but I'm using Robohelp HTML version 7.  It seemed to convert my files fine and I've made my changes.  These are the output options I have available:
    WebHelp
    WebHelp Pro
    FlashHelp
    FlashHelp Pro
    Microsoft HTML Help
    XML Output
    The developer who links to the Help application from his program is looking for three files ending in .cnt, .fts., and .hlp.  When I outputted mine to WebHelp (which is what I normally use), these three files were not created.  I researched the .cnt, .fts., and .hlp file types and discovered that they all seem to be opened primarily by Microsoft Help applications. This made me think that maybe I should be outputting the files as # 5, Microsoft HTML Help. Alas, none of the three required files were generated using this output method, either.  For good measure, I tried publishing the files as each of the 6 output options but no luck, the three required files were not generated using any of these methods.
    This is making me think that maybe in the last 7 years, Robohelp has made some changes and it's no longer possible to output .cnt, .fts., or .hlp files.  Is this true?  If so, I'll have to get the developer to change his code to point to some other file type, perhaps the Microsoft HTML Help .chm file.  If it's not true, can anyone tell me how to generate these three files?  Thanks!

    What your developers are using is a WinHelp file. This is produced from the RoboHelp for Word application rather than the RoboHelp HTML application. Don't worry though as you still have this as part of Robohelp 7. Just look inside your All Programs list for it. It uses Word as the editor and produces the files your require. Of course your developer could also change the application to start using Webhelp which would negate you doing anything ;-)

  • Crystal Report 11, List of Runtime DLLs, Runtime.hlp File

    I am using Crystal Report 11 with my Delphi 7 application.
    I need the list of runtime dlls which I will need to distribute with my application.
    The Help file which comes with the Delphi 7 VCL Component (UCRPE32.hlp) says :
    QUOTE
    check RUNTIME.HLP in the Program Files\Seagate Software\Crystal Reports\Developer Files\Help folder
    and make sure you have all the files.
    UNQUOTE
      I could not find the RUNTIME.HLP file in any folder/subfolders on the machine  where Crystal Report 11 has been installed.
       Can somebody tell me where I can find RUNTIME.HLP file or the list of runtime DLLs which is required to be distributed
    along with my application(which is written in Delphi 7).
        Thanks in advance

    Hello Ramesh,
    Business Objects does not support manual deployment of their runtime files.  This started with the release of CR XI (v11.0).  Please see [Business Objects Note 1218571|https://bcp.wdf.sap.corp/sap/sapnotes/display/0001218571] - How to distribute the Report Designer Component (RDC) in Crystal Reports XI for more information.
    You may also want to review the RDC deployment article - [Creating an RDC Distribution Package|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/901c0761-cf1d-2b10-dea4-8e83937a9337] - that can be found on the SAP web site as well.
    The RDC merge modules do not include the CRPE32.dll.  Since you're using the VCL you'll probably have to add that file manually to your deployment package.
    The merge module links in these articles have probably changed.  Go to the [Business Objects Support Software Download|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm] page to find the RDC merge modules.
    Change the Selection Criteria to this:
    Software Product: Crystal Reports
    Product Version: XI, XI Release 1, or XI Release 2 (depending on your version of Crystal Reports)
    Software Type: Utility
    You should also be aware of the fact that the VCL is not being updated any longer.  I think the XI (v11.0) version is the last one that will be available.  Additionally, the Report Designer Component (RDC) has been retired with the release of CR 2008.  Going forward you'll have to migrate to .NET SDK or the Crystal Report Java SDK.
    I hope this helps,
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher

  • Signing .hlp files

    Is it possible to digitally sign a .hlp file? We would like to avoid getting an “Unknown Publisher” message when we open a .hlp file from a network share.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to our community, Bonnie
    I think you'll find the same (or dearth of) answers here on the Adobe forums as you found on TECHWR-L.
    WinHelp files are really old technology. Microsoft really tried to fool everyone into thinking WinHelp was dead when they released Vista. Of course it still works under Vista and Windows 7 and may require an additional download to make it work depending on whether it's 32 or 64 bit, but work it still does.
    However, digitally signing a HLP file is likely something you will find doesn't exist. And it's quite logical if you think about it. As you are still using .HLP format, you are now among a very small minority of users. To create something like a digital signature and make it work would require an investment of time and money. And since this format is dying, I'd be very surprised to see anyone putting any real effort into something with zero payback.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Will RoboHelp 10 import .hlp files created from RoboHelp 7?

    I downloaded the trial version of RoboHelp 10 and tried to import old .hlp files that were created long ago with an earlier version of RoboHelp.  I keep getting an error  "The specified help file could not be opened.  Ensure that this help file is not running and try again".  Am I getting this error because I am running the trial version of RoboHelp 10 or are these old files not supported by RoboHelp 10?

    Welcome to our community.
    The error should not be an indication that you are using a trial. Have you confirmed that the HLP file isn't actually open on your PC?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can I generate .hlp files

    We just upgraded to Frame 9 (from 7.1) and RoboHelp 8. Prior to the upgrade, I was using WebWorks to generate my .hlp files - is there a way to generate .hlp and .cnt files with RH8?
    Thanks in advance!
    Debby

    Hi there
    Sounds like you are creating 32 bit WinHelp files. If you want to switch to 16 bit WinHelp files, the viewer is already present on Vista and Windows 7, so no download would be needed and WinHelp would still work.
    Whether WebWorks allows you to choose between 16 and 32 bit WinHelp files is another matter... Rick

  • Winhlp32 for old .hlp-files

    Hi,
    I can't see anymore the Content of old hlp-files on a 64-bit-Win10. will the old .hlp-Files be supported anymore? For Win8/8.1 there exist a msu. (Windows6.1-kb917607.msu / Windows8.1-KB917607-x64.msu)
    Thanks

    Hi karesol,
    Currently, there is no such application or update applied for Windows 10 Technical Preview. I notice some similar functions which have no appropriate update to support Windows 10 Technical Preview, but everything should be ongoing.

  • Generating hlp files in RoboHelp HTML

    Is it possible to generate .hlp files from RoboHelp HTML version 9? We're generating help files for an older program that only uses .hlp or .chm files. I've only been able to generate .hlp files from RoboHelp for Word, and I don't really want to use it any more. But I haven't been able to generate .hlp files from RoboHelp HTML.
    Thanks.

    Hello PP
    I'll be happy to hazard a guess as to why RoboHelp doesn't "do" WinHelp. It has to do with the history of RoboHelp. Way back around 1992 or so, RoboHelp existed largely as a plug-in to Microsoft Word that made it a lot easier to create WinHelp files. Basically it was a set of macros that formatted the arcane coding necessary inside Word documents that made things work for the WinHelp compiler.
    HTML emerged later on and the first version of RoboHelp HTML was born. This created an entirely new format and an entirely new application (RoboHelp HTML or RoboHTML) was born. HTML help was the new kid on the block. As such, I'm guessing the developers were sort of watching to see if or how much it would "catch on".
    So the application code bases were totally different. And remain so to this day. As Microsoft has taken measures to try and dissuade folks from using WinHelp, I'm sure RoboHelp for Word is likely on life support and probably has been for some time. RoboHelp for Word and RoboHelp HTML work in totally different ways. And given the fact Microsoft wants WinHelp gone, it simply doesn't make any sense to expend effort on making RoboHelp HTML capable of outputting WinHelp.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Reading .hlp files

    Hi all,
    I have a .hlp file (Windows help file) which I want to be able to read on my Mac. Is there a program to read it or to convert it to a Mac help file?
    Thanks,
    Ziv

    That is what I do.
    I just thought that for reading a help file I would not need to consume much of my system memory and cpu power.
    Thanks anyway,
    Ziv

  • Viewing HLP files

    Anytime I share my hlp file with anyone they receive the
    following errors
    Cannot find or load the file wh2robo.dll. This file should be
    copied to C:\Windows\System32 or a directory in your path
    what am I doing wrong?

    Hi jar92380
    Those that know me will probably gasp when they read this,
    because it's been so long since I've used RoboHelp for Word.
    However, try expanding your single source layouts, then right click
    the layout you are building. Click the Properties item on the
    context menu. Click the Next > button once. Look in the Compile
    Options area. My guess is that you have the option labeled
    "ActiveEdit (for Development)" enabled. Click to set it for
    "Release (for Shipping)" and recompile. Maybe this will correct it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Howto create a hlp file that a DLL referes to in teststand ?

    Hi,
    I have made a .odl file with links to a .hlp file.
    How do I create a .hlp file with the correct refs?
    Does NI have a sample witch generates a hlp file ?
    Regards
    Anders

    Hello Larry,
    I have an information plug-in that gets a little more specific.  In all I have 850,000 verticies (2 points and a connecting line segment) which equates to about 5,250 paths.  I can't simplify too much, however, I have simplified the paths 5 x at 99%.  If I try to simplify at just 95% my contour lines will not line up with my streams and valleys.
    Do you know the maximum amount of verticies that can be handled?
    Thanks,
    kru

  • Error compiling .hlp file

    When I compile my HLP file, I get the warning "HC4004: FPS709help.rtf is not an RTF (Rich Text Format) file." The contents of this file is excluded from the compiled help system. I am using RoboHelp 8 with Word 2003 on an XP machine. Can anyone help with this?

  • GID file recreation and unable to locate HLP file

    I am currently using RoboHelp Office Version 2000 to compile
    our Help System. Our application users are experiencing an error:
    "Cannot locate the <projectname>.HLP file. Do you want to try
    to find this yourself?" This error has been occurring since we
    decided to move the RoboHelp files into their own HELP directory
    instead of residing in the application executable directory. I
    tried deleting the GID file. After opening the Help System (the GID
    file then gets re-created), the error does not occur until running
    a Search or Find command. Is it a requirement that the Help files
    reside in with the application executable? If not, is there a path
    to the HLP file that gets stored in the GID file that could
    possibly cause the search engine to look in the wrong place for
    this file?

    The USB drive is formatted as NTFS. It can be read, but not natively written, on a Mac. If you want to drive to be both readable and writable on both platforms, it should be formatted as FAT32. To do that, you have to back up and erase it.

  • How to attach HLP file with the existing forms

    We have FORMS 5.0 application running. We have developed .HLP and .CNT files using ROBOHELP utility. I would like to attach the help file to the existing form. I want to use the registry to set the help file path so that I won't hardcode the path. I tried
    using WINHLP32.exe file using the HOST command. This need path settings in the machine. Does any body know other methods instead of using HOST command.
    Thanks in advance.
