RH8 won't upgrade RH7 project. He'p Me!

RH8 starts, and then I open the RH7 project, and then RH8 says it will "upgrade" the project, and then it says "Error reading RHFrameStyleMappings.apj file". Yes, that file exists, size 0, in the local copy of the project. I have not set up RoboHelp Server 3.1 to point to the server, yet. What do I have to do to get moving? Thx.

Hi Eileen
In one thread you were talking about four files that were not present in the upgraded project and RoboHelp was giving you grief about the four missing files. I suggested you create a totally new project to create them and copy the missing files to the upgraded project.
I'm not sure I saw a reply from you as to whether you had tried this or not. As you still seem to be stuck, I'm guessing that this failed? Or that perhaps you failed to see it? I was curious if what I suggested was a possible workaround.
Cheers... Rick

  • RH8 fails to upgrade RH7 project to RH8; any kluge to get it done

    Adobe RH Customer Service confirmed to me that RH8 is unable to upgrade an RH7 project. Is there solution that will not kill me, like starting a new project and importing topics en masse? (I don't necessarily know that that would work, but are there any other creative and effective solutions?

    That is nonsense. There has to be some misunderstanding as you certainly can upgrade projects. Did you perhaps ask if you can upgrade but still work in RH7? If you are simply talking about upgrading and then working in RH8, of course that can be done.
    Do you have any reference number?

  • RH8 crashes on converting RH7 project...

    ...please bear with me, this is long: I've successfully converted four significant RoboHelp 7 projects to RoboHelp 8 -- however, I have one that continuously, repeatedly crashes RoboHelp: the conversion itself crashes (maybe 2/3 of the way through), but opens up the project on the next execution of RH8; if I attempt to save changes in most topics, RH8 crashes. If I attempt to preview most topics, RH8 crashes. If I attempt to update DHTML Effects, RH8 crashes.
    I can compile (to either WebHelp or FlashHelp), but my "Normal" template (a stub) is replicated at the top of each and every topic in the compiled system. I've gone through the usual hoops (I've been around long enough), including deleting the CPD file, even the baggage, index, TOC and other configuration/parameter files...to no avail. I created a new, blank project and imported one file. RH8 crashed.
    However, I can go back and open up any of the other converted systems and they run like clockwork, without a hitch.
    The Vista Problem Report listed the crash as:

    At one point, before I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Office 2008 on a long shot (try that some time: it's not a trivial task...), I'd received a debug message something like "yada-yada was activated while yad-yada was activated before yada-yada was deactivated" -- I Googled that, and the resolutions were horrific and I'm trying to forget.
    After a full work week of  grubbing around, I found the solution to RH8 crashing on save: some topics could be individually saved, most not. I did some file diffs and discovered that a table at the very top of each topic was variously saved by RH7 as either:
    <table x-use-null-cells style="width: 100%; x-cell-content-align: Center; border-right-style: Groove; border-right-width: ;
                                    border-bottom-style: Groove; border-bottom-width: ; border-spacing: 0px;
                                    border-spacing: 0px;" cellspacing=0 width=100%>
    ...or...
    <table style="background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll;
                                    background-image: url('Graphics/paper1a.jpg'); border-right-style: Groove;
                                    border-bottom-style: Groove;" cellspacing="0" background="Graphics/paper1a.jpg" width="100%">
    Topics with the first, crashed RH8. Always. Topics with the second were saved as expected.
    OK, so that problem was solved (in a sense)....but, I still have the issue where my template (normal.htt -- which consists solely of a stubbed table as above and now corrected) gets inserted into the top of every published topic. For example:
    The template ("Master Page") is a stub: "This is a stub."
    In the generated output (local machine, no server/network, running Vista64), every topic begins with "This is a stub" -- even if I delete normal.htt...
    I've submitted this as a bug, but would really appreciate any ideas. The first part, above, frazzled me no end--this part is driving me nuts. Again,all other projects have converted just fine and cause no issues.
    Thank you in advance...

    Thanks to the help from Peter, this issue is resolved (and—depending on how you look at it—is two bugs in the conversion process).
    1.       For the “printing” of the stubbed text in the Master Page on each topic when output: “Template” pages in RH7 became “Master Pages” in RH8. A new RH8 Master Page contains a special body tag that prevents contained stub text from displaying in the output. Anything outside the special body tag displays on all output associated with the Master Page. In RH7 Templates, on the other hand, nothing would show/was supposed to show on output…getting the picture? <G>
    So, fixing the RH7 converted Template with the RH8 code fixed that (everything from the RH7 Template was outside the special body tag). Peter alternatively suggested removing links to the Template in RH7, deleting it, then building a new Master Page in RH8 for new topics.
    2.       For the continuous crashing of RH8 and inability to save or preview certain topics: Throughout the years and various RoboHelp upgrades, the tables I had at the top of each topic to contain the topic title and summary text were variously started in the HTML as either “<table x-use-null-cells style=” or “<table style=”. RH7 was perfectly happy with either syntax.
    RH8 is not at all happy with “<table x-use-null-cells style=”.
    Any topic containing that string in the RH7 HTML would crash the project (indeed, crashed the conversion) when I attempted to save or preview the topic. With an external editor, I went though each of 300 topics and replaced all instances of “<table x-use-null-cells style=” with “<table style=” and the project is again 100%.
    Again, thanks to Peter for the help in getting this figured out!

  • RH8 importing RH7 project

    When trying to open a RH7 project in RH8 I get the following
    errors:
    Error in reading RHFrameStyleMappings.apj file

    Try renaming the CPD before opening the project.
    If that fails, try renaming the CSS and copying the same name CSS from another project, then open the project.

  • RH7: Project Manager Tab keeps refreshing continuously

    I have upgraded my project from RH5 to RH7. There were in all 65 projects (.xpj) files that I upgraded. However, i have this issue with some of the files. When I open the xpj file, the Project Manager tab keeps refreshing. I cant scroll and select the files that are towards the end because the moment I click the scroll bar, the the tab refreshes and I cant click on the file.
    Most of the files that I upgraded work fine.
    Please suggest a solution. Thanks.

    Have you tried renaming the CPD and reopening RH to make it create a new one?

  • Opening a RH7 project in RH9 crashes RH9

    I recently had to upgrade to RH9 because RH7 was not compatible with Windows 7. I have had a pretty hard time upgrading a RH7 project to RH9, but followed the instructions to open the HHP file instead of the XPJ and saying No when asked to use the XPJ file instead. This worked a charm with one project.
    Now I am trying to open a different project the same way and RH9 crashes. No error message just my spinning cursor and when I click on the RH icon in my taskbar I get the windows message saying RH has stopped working.
    I tried deleting (by renaming) the CPD file and that didn't work either.
    Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

    Project is ~500 files and 23MB on disk
    My machine is Win7 x64 quad core with 4GB of RAM and over 134 GB of free hard drive space.
    I have a backup - project is in SVN subversion source control
    If I load the XPJ I get the same crash behavior.
    Just before the crash, at the bottom of RH screen it says:
    loading topics...
    Sorting Keywords...
    Ready --> then CRASH

  • ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

    iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
    When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows  installer package. Contact the package vendor".
    It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
    Any smarts out there who could help?

    Thanks much

    I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience.  I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP.  I think I was stuck on 10. 
    I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app.  I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found.  I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs.  Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it.  After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
    I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer.  I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

    Welcome to AD!
    That authorization loop is annoying, isn't it? It's happened to quite a few folks.
    Here are some steps to try.
    1. Deauthorize, then reauthorize your PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    Sign out and sign back into the store to authorize all the accounts, even that old one from 2 years ago that you forgot about.
    2. Delete the SC Info folder. The _entire folder_, not just the file. It will get rebuilt the next time you start iTunes. Don't forget to _restart your PC_, as the article says.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    3. Get a free single of the week, which has the latest DRM on it, and play a few seconds of it. This sometimes will present a new terms of service you need to agree to.
    Something else that has been suggested, is to delete one of these problem tracks but DO NOT SEND IT TO THE RECYCLE bin. Then re-add it to Itunes and see if it will play. Just do one track to check this out. Nobody has ever posted back to tell me whether this works.
    If you still can't get purchases to play, contact iTS support.

  • Upgrading a project from Weblogic Integration 8.1.3 to Weblogic Integration

    Can anyone offer any advice to assist me in upgrading a project from Weblogic Integration 8.1.3 to Weblogic Integration 9.2.1?
    Here are some nuances of the project:
    * The JNDI, JDBC, & JMS server resources are secured; access is controlled by Deployment Descriptor run-as/security-role/... tags and custom CSPs
    * The application is currently build for deployment using wlwBuild ant task (class in workshop.core.WlwBuildTask which is located in the 8.1.3 {weblogic.home}/workshop/wlw-ide.jar - so far I can't find this class/task in my 9.2.1 install)
    * The following are the application characteristics (and utilized WLI features): multiple web apps, EJBs, JMS, Page flow/netUI, web services, WLI controls (process, java, transformation), XMLBeans
    * One of the project goals is to not make any functional changes and modify as little code as necessary (the only expected justification for a modification is a) fallout out from the JVM 1.5 upgrade or b) something is no longer available in WLI 9.2)
    I know there is a edocs page with a tutorial for upgrading from 8.1.4 or 8.1.5 to 9.2, but I am interested in knowing if anyone has insight on upgrading directly from 8.1.3?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
    Regards,
    Andy Frank

  • I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    How did you "move everything" over?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • Itunes won't upgrade IOS on device

    Using ITunes 10.2, and Mac OS X ver 10.6.7.  I'm trying to update Iphone 4 and IPad to IOS 4.3.3 and ITunes won't upgrade the device. It download the upgrade, backs up the device, but then says, I don't have the authorization to update the device.  Sometimes if I log on as a test user, with admin rights it will allow the change, but then it wipes all the information and files on the device too.
    The apple's primary account, with ITunes is what I use to sync and download new apps and stuff, it should also be able to update the IOS, any ideas why it's not letting me?

    Then I tried to update itunes and nothing happened.  It wouldn't even start to upgrade.
    With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that go through any better for you?
