Open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database error

Good morning,
I am currently on RoboHelp, version 8.0.2.208 and last week my laptop (XP OS) crashed. My IT department ran a repair disk program and since that time I receive the error message in the subject line when I attempt to open any XPJ file. We use RoboSource Control 3.1. I can access/see all of our projects when I go through RoboSource Control 3.1 Explorer. I have already uninstalled/reinstalled the Adobe Tech Communication Suite twice. I think my next move is to have our IT staff wipe my disk clean if I can't solve this problem in the next day or so. Appreciate any advice/feedback anyone has. Kind regards.

This morning a coworker got the same error message. He had been working on his RH8 project yesterday with no problems. He was unaware of any changes to his PC, but our IT dept may have pushed some kind of update. To reproduce the error on my PC, I made a copy of an RH8 project and renamed the .cpd file. When I tried to open the .xpj, I received the same error. When I restored the .cpd file name, I continued getting the error--not only on that project, but also on ALL OTHER PROJECTS! (Unfortunately, I didn't try to open the project before renaming the file--and hadn't used RH at all today--so there may have been a problem for me even before I started to break things, and that might indicate an overnight PC update.)
I tried several solutions (including deleting the .cpd and .xpj files, then trying to open the .hhp in RH8, as suggested on other sites). No luck. Then I attempted to create a new project (File>New>Project>Blank Project), but RH8 created only a handful of files in the new project folder, then stopped, without creating an .xpj and most other critical files.
Since I also have RH5 installed on my PC, I created a new project in RH5, then converted it by opening the RH5 .xpj file in RH8. After RH8 converted the new project to the RH8 format, I was able to open the "corrupt" project in RH8, as well as all the other projects!
The manifestation of the problem in all of my projects seems to indicate that there was a corruption in the RH8 application, not in the .cpd file. The app just needed to be "unstuck," then everything was OK. Nothing in the project had been lost at all.
Since my coworker does not have RH5 installed, he was able to fix his situation by simply creating a new project in RH8.

  • "open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database for..."

    I'm doing a project for my Professional Writing course and I
    have to use RoboHelp to create an online help document. The
    professor provided templates for us to use but when I go to open
    the project file I get the following error: "open project was
    cancelled or the application was unable to load database
    for....(then the directory)"
    I know the project file isn't corrupted because the members
    of my class are using the same one without issue. I tried
    re-downloading the file, I also re-installed the program itself,
    still with no luck. I'm using a Trial Version of RoboHelp 6.0 .
    The only other suggestions I have seen are that I don't have
    edit perms for the system, but it's my personal laptop and I have
    full admin privs. I thought at first that the folder was read-only,
    but when I opened it up all it displays is the little green box in
    the checkbox (which doesn't mean the folder is read-only, it's just
    some stupid windows default, it's only read-only if the box is
    actually checked). I tried making the entire directory read-only
    and then turn it off but still get the same error.
    Any suggestions?

    There's a topic on my site about Opening Projects that
    includes the method of deleting the CPD and XPJ files but I didn't
    cover that as the project is good for everyone else. Anything is
    worth a try at the moment though.
    Another thing to try is to rename the course folder, then
    create a new folder with the same name plus all sub folders. Then
    move the files across. That will ensure the folder properties are
    good and not read only. Yes I know what you said but again anything
    is worth a try.
    Also, in the last post you are saying the directory is not
    read-only. I assume the files are all good?
    Ref my previous post, is it the case that now you are getting
    an error before the original error would have popped up?

    Hi,
    As i mentioned above its only for one Application Fiji. For a temporary Solution we tried to restart the Hyperion Services. But this did not work. One of the the Hyperion Service HyPService(not sure of the exact name). did not restart. So we have done a a fail over to other node and now the Fiji apps is running. But i don't think so what we have done is the correct fix for the solution. Have any one faced this problem.
    Hi John,
    Which Doc ID you mean to refer me is that the doc which comes with the Essbase Software.

  • Application was unable to load database

    I have a RoboHelp 9 project that I left open on my computer overnight and microsoft updates ran causing my computer to restart.  When I try to open my RoboHelp 9 project, i get the following error:
    Open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database for "C:\CODE\HELP\HELP.CPD"
    How can I correct the CPD file without starting over?

    Hi there
    Just delete the CPD and re-open the project. When RoboHelp sees it missing, it will bake up a fresh one to use and all should then be well.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Open project was cancelled or application was unable to load database for pathname

    My pc is installed with Robohelp 3x. Recently I shifted the
    pc from one room to anther. Now when I attempt to open my existing
    workable solution, it give me the following message: "Open project
    was canceled or application was unable to load database for
    <pathname>". Do I need to call for Robohelp technical
    support? If yes, can someone provide me the toll free number?
    Can someone pls advise?

    Thanks Peter, managed to get in through the link you've
    given. I seriously doubt it has anything gotta do with a corrupted
    project. I have 2 working projects last week but they can no longer
    be opened this week.
    I tried even to created an empty project from scratch. It was
    created successfully but when I reopen the project, it shows the
    same error message.
    Could there have been other possibilities or ways which I can
    troubleshoot?

  • Open project was canceled or RoboHelp was unable to load database

    I have Robohelp 2002r2 and am creating Robohelp HTML help.
    The project was ok yesterday but today when I try to open it I get
    the error message "Open project was canceled or RoboHelp was unable
    to load database". I tried the solutions in the knowledgebase
    (rb_3245) but still no luck. I can't even create a new project
    either or I get the same message. Anybody know what to
    do????

    Welcome to the forum.
    The message is usually easily dealt with. I haven't checked
    the article as you didn't include a link but I'm guessing it
    involved deleting a couple of files and then using the HHP file to
    open the project.
    What is more worrying is that you cannot create a new
    project.
    Have you tried opening one of the supplied sample files?
    Are your projects stored locally and not on a network?
    Have IT given you a new profile to log on with?
    Has anything else changed in your environment?

  • Project Error: Open project was canceled or RoboHelp was unable to load database

    Hi,
    I checked an HTMLHelp project out of SourceOff Site (SOS),
    then attempted to open it locally with RoboHelp 5 when I got the
    error message: "Open project was cancelled or RoboHelp was unable
    to load database."
    I found the TechNote for this error message (rb_3245) which
    said to delete the .xpj and .cpd files, then right-click the HHP
    file and click Edit to open the project. This worked fine for
    opening the project, however the Primary Layout Source defaulted to
    WebHelp. I reset the Primary Layout Source to HTMLHelp which caused
    all of the graphics in the project to not display. I fixed this
    issue, compiled the Help, and all appeared to be fixed. I checked
    the project back into SOS to back it up. This morning, I checked it
    out of SOS and tried to open the project locally again, only to get
    the same error. I closed the project, undid the check-out, and
    asked another writer to check-out the project then open it locally
    to see if he got the same error. He did not get the error.
    I am not sure what could be wrong on my computer that is
    causing this error. I had no problems opening and using this
    project until yesterday and I made no file name or path changes to
    the project. Any ideas on what may be wrong?

  • I have two apple id accounts ,when i used to update application it used to prompt a default id and if the application was downloaded using the other id i would cancel and it would prompt the other id but not any more .

    i have two apple id accounts ,when i used to update application it used to prompt a default id (the old one) and if the application was downloaded using the other id i would cancel and it would prompt the other id but not any more .
    it just prompt the old id which im not signed in with im signed in using the new id and when i cancel nothing happens and when i try to update applications separately  i have the same problem .
    im signed in using the new id
    the old one is my wife's so i can't delete it
    the problem happens  when i update all or  each application by its own
    using ios 5.0.1 on a iphone 3gs
    the applications are downloaded using both the new and old id's
    any help will be greatly appreciatedِ

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here and they don't monitor these forums - I've asked the hosts to remove yout account ids from your post.
    In terms of combining accounts it's not currently possible to do so, nor to copy/transfer content from account to another.

  • Help. Windows 7: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002).

    I just got a new computer. Windows 7. Toshiba. Intel 13-3110M Processor. 6GB DDR3 Memory. 1TB 5400rpm Hard Drive. Intel HD Graphics 4000. 2.40 GHz. 64-bit operating system.
    I installed CS5 Creative Suite on it (which worked perfectly fine on my two previous computers--Windows 7 and Windows 8). Since then Photoshop and Illustrator have been giving me the same error message. "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application." The programs still open and remain open after pressing okay, but the message comes back every minute or so.
    Then, with InDesign, the program won't open at all. It gives me the error message of "Cannot load the PDF.RPLN plug-in. It is dependent on the EPS PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in, which failed to load. Please check documentation for the EPS PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in." Then InDesign stops responding and closes itself.
    I have to live with this computer for two more weeks (and then I go home and can use my old one again/return this current laptop), and I have schoolwork that counts on me being able to use these programs. If anybody could help me, I would be super grateful!
    Oh, and I've already tried installing and uninstalling it.

    Without system information nobody can say anything. also check the logs in the Event Viewer.

    Hi,
    First please test if it is caused by third party application. A Clean Boot could help disable all third party applications.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796/en-us
    Meanwhile is there any change made before the issue occurs, such as Windows Update, installed any program etc? If there is a restore point before the issue occurs, it may be a quicker solution for this issue.

    Hi,
    There is not enough information about the problem. For troubleshooting, I recommend you can use Process Monitor to detect whether there's any process failed.
    You can download Process Monitor and see how to use it for troubleshooting in below links:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939896
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/06/01/troubleshooting-with-process-monitor.aspx
    There are a lot of log entries in Process Monitor, you may filter Visual Studio process only(proces = devenv.exe). And you can upload the logs to OneDrive so that we can investigate them.
    Also, you can refer to Gfazil's post in 
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/96035692-9a50-40d4-a7d3-48bda87d11ec/the-application-was-unable-to-start-correctly-0xc000007b-click-ok-to-close-the-application-when?forum=vssetup
    Please try the method he mentioned to see whether the problem can occur:
    " Replacing the dlls mentioned below from a machine that is working solves the problem:
    c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100.dll
