Fatal Error HXC2064: Unable to initialize the full-text index engine. Reason code 205.

Hi,

I cannot compile Help 2.0 files anymore. Whether I use NDoc or HelpStudio, I got the following message :

Fatal Error HXC2064: Unable to initialize the full-text index engine. Reason code 205.

I have found this FAQ http://helpware.net/mshelp2/h2faq.htm#HXC2064 and tried to register the listed dlls without success.

The targeted assembly is small and do not contain tons of comments.

Any ideas

Hi Paul,

I already tried to register all IT dlls on my computer, without succes for the help compilation :

- ITCC.dll

- MSITSS.dll, msitss55.dll

- ITIRCL.dll, itircl54.dll, itircl55.dll

Both environment variables are set to the same temp folder on my main drive which has a bit more than 900mb free space.

Thanks for answering.

I have forwarded this question to the Help 2.0 compiler folks. Hopefully we'll hear back from them soon.

I forgot to say that I have tried to reinstall the SDK. No luck with that too.

Hi Gildas,

Can you try manually registering the following DLL:

C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2005.10\VisualStudioIntegration\Archive\HelpIntegration\itcc55.dll

(If you have a later version of the SDK it may be in a slightly different path)

You would run from the command line in that folder:

regsvr32 itcc55.dll

Also, do you have a TEMP or TMP environment variable declared on your system The help compiler creates many temp files when generating the full text index, and if the temp path is full for any reason it may cause errors with the full text search generation.

Thanks!

Hello Paul,

Thanks for answering. No, I have installed the VS SDK yesterday and it worked only once. After this first compilation, I always got this error. I didn't have installed anything else.

Hello Gildas - were there any changes to your machine that you can account for between when the compiler used to work and when it stopped working Did you install any new or updated products that you can recall Thanks.
