Hello
The Help compiler fails with Visual Studio 2005 RC1 and the October CTP of the SDK. It fails with the message:
Microsoft Help Compiler Version 2.05.50727.31 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp. Fatal Error HXC1022: The compiler server could not be initialized. Reinstall the Microsoft Help 2.0 compiler.
Confusingly:
- The Beta2 Help Compiler (Version 2.05.50215.44) also fails on a machine with RC1 and October CTP installed.
- The October CTP Help Compiler (Version 2.05.50727.31) works just fine on a machine with the Beta2 installed.
Plese can you help
Thank you
Peta
Help compiler fails with RC1
fugacity
Thanks Aaron
Well yes, to all intents and purposes we are using the Sept CTP SDK (with the addition of some fixes we requested - thank you).
Do you have a date yet for the release of the October CTP We are up against the wall here, releasing our own Beta imminently.
thanks

Within the next 2 weeks is as close as we can commit to at this time.

I think you mean the September CTP of the VSSDK. We're still working on the October release.
We know there have been some issues with the help compiler in recent CTP's. We're introducing some new tools in the next SDK release to assist with creating help content which should get around these problems. Sorry for the problems in the interim!
Thanks,
Aaron Marten [MSFT]
