Cannot compile Help 2.0

Errors & Warnings on build help 2.0. Works locally, but not on the remote build machine. This stopped working a few weeks ago and am hard-pressed to find anything that changed during that time period.

I have re-installed VS SDK and Innovasys

The Help 2.x compiler uses several files that are in a resources .hxs file that is normally installed with Visual Studio. The error message you are seeing suggests that this resources .hxs isn't installed. Do you have Visual Studio as well as the SDK installed on this build machine?

One fix that I know has worked in the past is to install MSDN or remove and re-install Visual Studio.
