I'm using Document! X version 5.1.1.0
When I try to compile a .net project I get the following error message " Microsoft® HTML Help Compiler has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Other projects compile OK. Also, when I try to compile on a different machine I get the same problem.
Any ideas?
The Microsoft HTML Help 1.x compiler has known problems with the long filenames generated by .NET documentation. This problem can often (but not always) be worked around by compiling to a root path (e.g. c:\docs).
You can also avoid this problem if you compile your documentation with Help 2.0 (the Visual Studio help format). You can find a link to download the Help 2.0 compiler (part of the Visual Studio Help Integration Kit) at:

If you absolutely need to create CHM format .NET documentation, you can use the 'Generate shortened alias filenames' option on the 'Microsoft .NET Options' page in the Document! X project editor in order to have Document! X shorten the generated filenames. This option does extend the documentation build time though.
I compiled to a root path and it now works fine. Thanks
