LabVIEW help not opening

This is frustrating. When I try to open LabVIEW help, I get a popup box that says "File not found: mk:@msitstore:<somefilename>." I know this is a windows problem but I cannot find a solution anywhere. I've looked at the security updates and MS knowledgebase. I've reregistered and replaced my hhctrl.ocx file, I've looked at the registry, etc. I've tried every solution I could find and .chm files still won't open, which includes pretty much all the LabVIEW help. What else can I try???

It's definitely a generalized Windows problem. I've been all over the web looking for fixes besides re-registering hhctrl.ocx and was hoping someone here might have tried a different fix. It's looking like I'll need to rebuild Windows to get this fixed (i.e. Delete everything and start over.)
The error I posted shows up whenever I try to open any .chm file. HTML help opens fine. I've tried installing the MS Help Editor program again and it didn't help any. I've tried deleting the help system directories and letting Windows recreate them and that didn't help either.

Context sensitive help not opening to bookmark (tough one)

I have a Robohelp 9 HTML project with multiple topics. Each topic has multiple bookmarks. I have created a map file with mappings from a map id to a bookmark within a topic.
An example of a map id is Change_SSN, the map # is 70, and this is mapped to a book mark.
The .ali entry is <alias name="Change_SSN" link="Change_SSN\TCRS_Concord_Project_-_Change_SSN_User_Guide-FINAL.htm#3_Change_SSN">,
BCCSDefault.h has this entry: #define Change_SSN 70
whcsddata has this entry: SetCsh(15,"Change_SSN",70,"Change_SSN/TCRS_Concord_Project_-_Change_SSN_User_Guide-FINAL. htm#3_Change_SSN");
I am using the standard RoboHelp_CSH.js file in my web application. Within that web application I call to RH_ShowHelp(0, <path to the index.htm file>,HH_HELP_CONTEXT,70). The help file will be displayed but it does not go directly to the book mark within the topic, instead the default topic is displayed. I have multiple topics and when the help file is displayed all topics are displayed in the TOC, the correct topic is not even opened let alone the bookmark within the appropriate topic.
If I just open my browser and enter path/index.html#<id=70 again the help file is displayed but to the default topic. This leads me to believe there is not an issue with the coding of my web application but something odd with the help file.
I have tried everything and I can not figure out why this is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Is your help always opening the default topic regardless of whether you call a link to a bookmark or does it go to the default topic for every CSH call?
Are you using local help or is it placed on a server?
What browsers have you tried?
If you enter the entire path with two pound signs in the address bar, do you then see the correct topic/bookmark location? (example: http://example.com/index.htm#Change_SSN/TCRS_Concord_Project_-_Change_S SN_User_Guide-FINAL.htm#3_Change_SSN)
My first guess would be that you have to enable all map files for your output. But you seem to have done that as whcshdata contains information. *For anyone reading this thread: To enable CSH in WebHelp: Open your SSL, expand Content Categories, select the category and check the map files you want to use under Map files.
Please answer the questions and we’ll dive some deeper.
Greet,
Willam

Widget browser and Adobe Help not opening in dw cs6

I am trying to insert a widget in dw, but I cannot get the widget browser to open. I have dw cs6 installed in my applications folder along with Adobe>Widget Browser and Adobe help. How can I get this to work?

What version of Mac OS are you using?
If you're not sure, go to the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.
What happens when you try to open Widget Browser directly from the /Applications folder?
How about if you try to open it from within Dreamweaver? (e.g. go to Insert > Widgets, then click the "Widget Browser" link)
Have you tried updating Adobe AIR, which is used to run Widget Browser?
Although it typically will automatically update itself, you can download the latest version of AIR from here to install: http://get.adobe.com/air/

Help Not Opening in Safari

RoboHelp 8.0.2.208
I've created WebHelp and it works fine in IE.
This is the path of the start page:
C:\Program Files\My Company\Application Manager\Documentation\My Help.htm
To test using different browsers we paste the above path into the Address field of the browser. this works fine for IE but not for Safari. We just a message saying "file not found"
Any ideas?
TIA
Jac

Sorry, I misled you....
When the customer installs our software it is installed in Program Files. Therefore the WebHelp we produce is also installed to program files.
My project files are on the C:\ on my computer.

PS: Didn't know it was only on a MAC.

Can anyone convert this *.LIB file? 8.5 will not open it.

This is getting annoying. A lot of older VIs are posted here but the latest labview will not open them. Al l can say to that is ERRRRR!!!!!.
If anyone could convert this to a revision that LV 8.5 can open i would appreciate it.
Thanks

Labview executable does not open excel...

i just compiled labview code into an executable and when i run the executable, it does not open an excel document like it is supposed to. it opens the excel program, but not the specific file stipulated in the code. the problem only exists on one of my computers. the "problem computer" is being set up for the first time to run labview executables.
thanks in advance for the help.
Erik

That is probably the reason. Microsoft is notorious for the way they change their activeX components between office versions.
At the minimum, you need to install the LabVIEW runtime engine on the other PC. It needs to be the same version as the version of LabVIEW you developed in. You can either search the NI website and download and install the run-time engine, or you can create an installer for your application from the development PC that will include the run-time engine.
You may need some other run-time engines such as VISA or DAQmx if your application is using any of those functions.

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

Help! I am making an iPhoto book and all of a sudden it will not open and I get a huge error message which is supposedly sent to Apple. How do I access that site????

Mac osX 10.6.8
iBook - old version
can not access Safari - going through Chrome
All of a sudden my IBook would not open (100 pages and almost finished)
Error message sent to Apple - how do I access them??????
Thank you for any help you can give me
<Email Edited by Host>

Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened? Did you add a page with a map?
Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable. In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link: Getting rid of problem photo book

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening! Help!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

I've just updated firefox and now it will not open at all. Please help!

I use gmail and a couple of days ago I started having trouble accessing it and in fact any google related site. Apparently my version of firefox was not supported so I updated to the current version this morning but then found that firefox would not open at all. There are no error messages. I have tried restoring my settings to those of yesterday but although my system says I have returned to the old version 3.5.15 it still will not open. I can now only access the internet by using an ancient version of Microsoft Internet Explorer - which is also not supported by gmail. Although I'm limping on I could really do with some help!!

Perhaps give one of the following documents a try:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

I am running windows 7. We updated firefox and it would no longer open. I uninstalled it and reinstalled from firefox website. I click on the firefox icon and it will not open. Help please

It installs and I attempted to launch the browser and it never starts. I tried to uninstall, but it says firefox is running. I restart my computer and uninstall and try again. It still will not open after install is complete. Why won't it ever open up? Help please!

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.
