How do I fix project after "Remove From Version Control" corrupted it?

I am using RoboHelp 9.0.1 and installed both Tortoise SVN 1.6.9 and latest PushOK SVNSCC then added my large RoboHelp project to SVN. I was able to check in and out files from SVN but had several issues with it:
1) Super super slow. Working with folders or any renames would take 10 seconds per file and up to 1 hour if needed to refresh the root folder.
2) I could not perform some actions at all, such as delete, rename, or move folders. I kept getting COM errors.
I therefore decided that working with SVN and RoboHelp is not practical, at least not on my VPN so I decided to disconnect the project from source control and just work locally. The only option that I saw that sounded like it would do that was the "Remove from Version Control". This started a process that lasted for several hours. At the end of it, I now have several significant issues:
1) The order of the files and folders in my Project Manager is completely wrong now. I have almost 1000 topics and reordering all of them is not possible.
2) The Table of Contents, Glossary, and Index files appear empty. They had content before.
2) A couple of the Single Source Layouts I had created are completely missing.
3) Many, but not all, of the folders have tons of files with the extension ending in "_temp_removed_by_svn"
4) Many, but not all, of the files are actually gone from SVN so I can't recover a clean image. There was no warning that this command would actually delete the files from SVN (I thought it would just remove the version control connection).
5) Who know what other issue exist that I haven't seen.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Are the "_temp_removed_by_svn" files in your local folder or SVN? Let us know how you get on with the new project. It sounds like something is wrong with SVN. Can you use the SVN Log command to see whether there is a different version you can restore. This might also give you an indication of what might have caused the problem. You could try deleting your CPD file. It gets rebuilt it is isn't there anyway. This file can become bloated and it is good practice to delete it when it gets close to 2mb in size. Your project is fairly large and has a lot of folders and may affect performance. Have you considered splitting them and merging the output? I know you probably don't want to consider this right now, but I think it may be a better long term solution.

Problem: When she is establishing the root path (and the Browse RoboSource Node window opens, but it does not populate, even after 20 minutes. Reboot did not work, neither did manually removing Serena Dimensions SCC. I have verified that she has a connection to the database (via RSC Explorer) and can see the project (as well as the RH7 version of the project). We have
These are the instructions... (screenshots not included). She's hanging up on
1.1    Using a New Project for the First Time
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The author must have local administrator rights on the machine. If the user has a privileged account, they must set up full local control of their work folder (specified in 1.1.2.8).
1.1.1    Install RoboHelp and RoboSource Control
1.    Download appropriate software packages, including all patches, from Adobe.
2.    Launch RoboHelp Installer. Select the following options for installation:
o   RoboHelp for HTML
o   RoboSource Control (Client)
o   CS4 Script Extender
INSTALLATION NOTES
Installation of each component is separate and may take up to 30 minutes. You do not have to install RoboHelp for Word.
Only select the Client Install for RoboSource Control.
3.    Install all patches in the order specified by the vendor. Check with the technical communicator on which version is currently in use for patching.
1.1.2    Open the Project
1.    Launch RoboSource Control.
2.    Establish a database connection per section 3.3.1.
3.    Close RoboSource Control.
4.    Launch RoboHelp 8 for HTML.
5.    Click Open under Recent Projects under the main frame (do not use title bars).
6.    Click the Open Project from version control button (shown below).
7.    Make sure that RoboSource Control 3.1 is highlighted as the Version Control Provider and the checkbox for “Make this my default selection” is checked. Click OK.
8.    Configure the Source Control system as follows:
Connection: PROD
Root Path: Click the … button and navigate to the (project name) root in the database and click OK. This may take several minutes.
Connection Mode: Online
Get to Local Path: Click the … button and navigate to your Data folder. Select Make New Folder under Data and give the folder a unique name to help you identify the files as for the Support KB in RoboHelp.
9.    Click OK when you have configured source control. A copy of the database is now being downloaded to the path you specified. This may take up to 20 minutes.
You can verify that installation is proceeding either by watching your local path fill with files or keeping an eye on the CPU usage of the RSO3MiddleTierService and RoboHelpHTML files under Task Manager.
10. Once transfer is complete, highlight Tier1KB.xpj and click Open. It may take several minutes to open the project the first time. It is typical for the snippet file to check out the first time you open the project and the first time each day that you save all project files.
11. Once the project is open, set Version Control properties:
a.         Select Tools > Options.
b.         On the Version Control tab, select all options. This will prompt the user on each version control action they take.
12. Test a check out/check in to validate correct installation and source control operation.

It's the settings in miscproperties in the XPJ and it works in TFS just fine. I'ts as follows:
<miscproperties>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::provider</name>
<value>Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider</value>

Anyone know how to open a project after going from Trial to full purchase?

i purchased the full version of Premier Elements 8 and the project I had been working on for weeks just won't open. It seems like it's there, but nothing happens when I click on the file. Any ideas?

Unless the Project file (.PREL) has become corrupted, there should be no reason for a Project, created in the trial, to not Open in the full-paid version. The ONLY difference between the two programs is that trial will embed a watermark on the Exported footage.
This FAQ Entry will instruct you on changing the Project, to remove that watermark.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do you fix 'unable to upgrade from version 0'?

I have been working on 6 ibooks over the past year, documenting a lot of stuff for user manuals for our school. The ibooks were all created in iBA version 1.0, but are not published - we only use them internally so we just use the previews.
I gave up trying to upgrade my 1.0 iBooks, it takes too long to 'optimize' the files when I try to open them in 2.0. I have read all the issues with iBA 2.0, but decided to download 2.0 on another computer and wabt to try to re-write all my old 1.0 manuals (I have all the files that went into them).
However, when I double-click to open the 2.0, nothing happens. So I go to 'File' and select 'New from Template Chooser'. I then get the window with all the new templates, including the portrait ones. When I select any template, say the 5th one for example, I get the prompt "The document 'Textbook 05.ibatemplate' could not be upgraded. Unable to upgrade from version 0". This happens for every template. I don't understand. I downloaded the 2.0 from the app store onto a 'clean' computer. Yes, it has Lion on it and all the spec requirements to run iBA. Can anyone help me with what to do next?

Did you ask Apple for help yet?

Error Message - Project is missing or has been removed from version control

All of a sudden, the SharePoint RoboHelp version control "link" stopped connecting to the team's local versions. Now, once we logout of RH, we have to redownload the SP version to our computers in order to continue working. We are on RoboHelp 10 and did not have this issue previously. We do not know what may have triggered it (perhaps an enterprise deployment of new security software?). Any thoughts or ideas on how to re-establish and MAINTAIN the version control connection?

Problem deploying VB6 project after upgrade from version 8 to version XI

Hi,
I'm upgrading a VB6 application from crystal report 8 to crystal report 11.
When running on development machine it works fine, but when i deploy the application on the client pc instead of the activex control i get a white background with no error (Setup package is created by adding merge modules to an installshield 11 express project)
Searching for dll not installed or not properly registered, i've used the "modules" utility and then i've manually registered dll that wasn't loading on the client pc.
After that i get error 339 : 'crviewer.dll' or one of it's dependency is not registered. File not valid or not found.
Is there a list of dll that need to be on the client machine or some advice for using the merge modules with installshield 11 express?
Thanks,
Carlo

Download [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] to see what is happening when you runt he project. It will give you more info than Modules.
Also, ensure that you are distributing the correct version of the runtime. You mention XI, but that still leaves the option of 11.0 or 11.5 (each of which as a different runtime). See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsReportDesignerComponentRuntimeDistribution-Versionspre8.0.xto12.0] wiki for more info.

How to clone a project that is under version control?

[RH10]
Hello. I have a large project that is under TFS source control. I would like some advice on how to safely clone a copy of this project to a separate location (not under source control).
In the past I ran into problems when copying a project under source control. I think I need to somehow unlink the project from TFS before copying it, but I am hesitant to do this without some expert guidance. Can anyone walk me through the steps for doing this safely? (By safely, I mean without altering in any way the state of the production files under source control.)
Thanks,
Mike

An olden golden from Rick: http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/MonthlyScry/102004.htm
Just create a copy somewhere and follow the steps outlined by Rick. This article applies to all versions of RoboHelp, no matter the source control system used.

Have CS5 on current PC, Win 7 64bit; how get *.exe to transfer to new computer after remove from old one?

Baffled by multiple links; found one I think(?) I need. CS5 12.1.
It's basic, so I assume that one goes with CS5 Design Standard, but do not
know. Thanks for answer(s) again.

Project Not Checking out From Version Control

All of our help projects are managed using version control
(Team Foundation Server).
I recently had an XPJ file that became corrupted. As per
Adobe's instructions, I deleted the XPJ and CPD files and
regenerated the project from the HHP file. That worked fine, but
now launching the project from the XPJ file opens the project
outside of version control. (I'm no longer being prompted to check
the files out.) I think this is because the newly created XPJ file
now disassociated with the source control. If this is true, how do
I get the XPJ file back into source control?
Hopefully this makes sense.
Christina Stommel

Hi Christina,
My understanding of the entire "version control" process is
limited but since no one else has thrown in, I will try to pass
along what little I know. What I have learned is that version
control works great until it doesn't.
What I've had to do in the past, when I've had these sort of
synchronization problems, is to remove the entire project from
version control (I would be sure to back up your local project as
well as your version-controlled project). Then, you should be able
to add the repaired project back to your source control software
(we use MS VSS but I think it shouldn't matter).
I have tried, in the past, to add individual files to the
database from the RH interface (you could try "check in all files")
and I have gone into the database and manually added the necessary
files, but I have had mixed results. In the end, it seems that
removing the project from version control, then adding it back, is
the only thing that is guaranteed to work.
Good luck!
