HTML Help Workshop cannot write to the projectfile

[Thomas Steinbach]

Hello,

I started using HTML Help Workshop but get sometimes
an error that the HHW cannot write to the projectfile. See:

http://www.failure.bravehost.com/help/htmlhelp/project/

Why? I can't see the problem. What is causing this error
and how can I fix that?

Hello Thomas,

I'm not quite sure - but sometimes this error occurs when opening a HHP
project file by double-click.

Try to delete the quotation marks before saving your project file (see your
snap - two quotation marks).

Try to open the HHP project file from HTMLHelp Workshop's File > Open menu.
Try to avoid context menu from Windows Explorer.

Just to add to Ulrich's reply, you may be able to fix this problem
permanently by searching the Windows registry for any instances of the
following string:

hhw.exe" "%1"

If you find any, try removing the quotation marks from around the %1.
