Hi Jeff,

Hmmm... odd, I don't see this here...

Can you do me a favor and try with "Run As Administrator"? I wonder if there's some sort of security issue getting in the way there...

I can take a closer look at this on Friday - unfortunately I'm out travelling at DevConnections these next days, so not much time to investigate further until then...

I pick Import from the Tools menu and I import a .NET Assembly. I pick my DLL. I take the defaults and hit finish.

I get the error message OLE. And then on self-report I get another FoxPro error and then it shuts down.

Interestingly, when I re-open HTML Help Builder and open my project I do see that it managed to bring in one Namespace and the beginning of it's first class, but not much is filled out.



Hmmm... that's odd. Can you give me exact steps?

I was upgrading from version 4.0 Build 4.601.

Ok, I used your link to download the installer and I ran that and it worked.

Now, I've got an error trying to bring in a .NET DLL.

The app won't self-report the error because it gets an error saying: "Variable 'WWHELP_VERSION' is not found.

The original error when it tries to read in the assembly is:


OLE error code 0x80020006: Unknown name.
System Error #1426


Jeff,

What version are you updating from?

4.6 and later requires a full reinstall (which is basically what update does these days anyway).

The install just replaces your existing version...

Aloha,

Rick,

I'm running HTML Help Builder version 4.0 Build 4.601 and when I try to upgrade to latest and greatest it fails with a 'syntax error'.

Thanks
