Fix something corrupted in a RSC database

I recently discovered that the inclusion of some non-alphanumeric characters in a RoboHelp HTML topic file name can cause this file in a RSC database to become corrupted. The file .htm in my local working folders (Windows Explorer) is not corrupted. The offending characters (at least the ones I've seen) include:

-(tiret cadratin; l'en tableau de bord ne cause pas un problème)
… (ellispsis, where there is a single character; three periods separate, side-by-side, cause no problem)
' (apostrohphe)

Curiously, RoboSource Control allows files that contain one of these characters offending to be added to a database of version control. In addition, these files can be recovered to local computer of the customer, where the customer can then work in the file without any problems. However, when you save such a file, the corresponding file of the database is damaged. Corruption appears in the form of a change of name for the file. For example, a file named ' export_files... htm "(where the points of suspension is a single character) will be renamed"export_filesBLAHBLAH"(where"BEST"is a random combination of symbols and special characters). The offending character is always replaced with the symbols and special characters, who then do the rest of the file name; a part of the filename before the offending character remains unchanged.

I recognize the importance of restrict filenames to alphanumeric characters, but in the case where this happens again, what is the best way to fix something corrupted in a database? In this work in my head, I came up with the following process:

1. delete the corrupted database file.
2. use Windows Explorer on your local computer to make a copy of the corresponding .htm file.
3. remove any offending character of the file name for the copy of the .htm file.
4. open RoboHelp HTML and delete the topic of the project.
5 import the backup copy of the .htm file in the help project.
6. check in the 'new' (restored) .htm file.

Note: I do not remember for some, but I think that I tried to simply rename the file corrupted in the RSC, but he would not allow me so I don't think it's an option.

Your proposed solution should work. When you rename the file in the database would be a solution under optimal, as the reference to the file would always be there in the local copies of the project.

  • Is it possible to fix a corrupted by default profile

    After you fix a corrupted profile, I noticed that most of my programs to "all programs" was missing, but they still exist in program files/program (x 86).  I decided to save my information and the profile to remove completely.  I let the system to create a temporary profile, but he has always had the same problem.  I created a new profile has always had the same problem.  I came to the conclusion that the default profile on the system is corrupt, and I'm at a loss to know what to do.  As a last ditch effort, I copied the last known copy of my regback registry files with no luck.

  • Unable to fix a corrupted user profile

    Please read my resolution posted on October 14, 2011. My problem was never a corrupt user profile. It's an anti-virus program blocks my access.

    I tried to follow the instructions for the attachment of a corrupt user profile, according to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    I created a third user account (UA3); Connected to UA2 and tried to copy and paste the files from the user to the file from the old account (UA1) on behalf of third parties (UA3).

    First of all, I'm confused by the instructions which told me to copy all the files except the ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log and ntuser.ini files. Did that mean all files that begin with these names or all files with exactly these names? There are other files that start with these names, but are not only these names. For example: ntuser.dat.LOG1, ntuser.dat.LOG2, ntuser.dat {3f2f6031-3445-11e0-a837-8ga..., etc.

    I tried to copy all files except those that begin with ntuser.dat etc, but I must have done something wrong because it did not work. I received a message that says I need administrator privileges and asked if I wanted to continue. I responded to continue, but the files do not glue.

    If I am able to copy files successfully, once the UA1 profile copied to UA3, when I connect UA3, he look the same as UA1 or do I have to reset the context, etc. ? It is unclear in the article what I am really copy and what remains to be done to make them the same (with the exception of corruption, of course).

    All this has emerged a problem that I had to try to add email accounts to Outlook 2010. After working on the problem for several days, the error has been identified as resulting from a corrupt user profile. If you need general information, please visit http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/access-denied-when-adding-a-email-account/7bb6576e-53ab-4c94-830c-0e58be115dcf?page=1&tm=1318178723530

    I've seen this kind of problem of corruption has reported several times in answers.microsoft.com, but nothing I found to date has addressed what is causing the problem in the first place.

    SOLVED. I found the problem. This is a parameter in the anti-virus program. Somehow, he has been to block access to the registers for Office 2010. I removed the control registry setting and I am now able to add/modify email accounts. There is no corruption of the user account. I'm sorry it took so long to find it. However, I learned a lot during the process.

    There are a number of things that need to be addressed in your instructions to "fix a corrupted user profile. It would be useful to others in the future.

    1. they must state that, after the creation of the new user account, you must connect that account, otherwise the files are not created.
    2. instead of say "copy all files except the file ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log and ntuser.ini.", it should say "copy all files except those that begin by...» (these names) ».
    3. something should be mentioned on the shortcut files, with the arrow upward from their icon. They copy not at all in Windows 7.

    I have never able to repair a user profile with the instructions of the way they are written. (I think someone needs to try them with a Windows 7 system and deal with the permissions that are defined in Windows 7).

    In your answer on what programs could cause something like that, you might want to talk about the access to the registry that is blocked by a virus protection program.

    The fix for this would be to launch a 'chkdsk' with the ' / f ' or ' / r ' option.  Most likely, there is alteration of the disc in this area and your virus control program cannot navigate the directory beyond that point.

  • Cannot follow the directions to learn how to fix a corrupt exactly user profile.

    When I followed the following instructions;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    I can do everything through the seven step but when I do extra files that would appear under the folders do not appear.  To get these files to appear I have to open windows explore and go to tools > folder options > view and uncheck "Hide protected files of the operating system (recommended).

    I can then follow the seven-eleven steps and everything seems to work OK.  But it leaves me curious to know what may be wrong.

    Any ideas?

    You say that you have completed all the steps until step 7...

    Step 5 tells you to 'clear the Hide protected operating system files check box... "- so you should have already passed this check box in step 5 and I don't understand why you have to clear the box still in step 7 to see the files.

    If you are copy and paste all the files except ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log and ntuser.ini by following the instructions in step 7, then you do it right.

    Hello BearPup,

    But I'll try your suggestion first two program.

    I will surely you know how it goes.

    Best regards

    Hello Mr. ML.

    You're welcome and thank you for your kind words. The problem, Recuva is a file recovery application. They allow you to recover a file (or folder or partition) that has been deleted or damaged otherwise. Another freeware program, you can use - it's the only one on my system - is 7 - Data Recovery Suite, available here: http://download.cnet.com/7-Data-Recovery-Free/3000-2094_4-75905667.html.

    Just to be clear, this is equivalent to a backup in case your backup (if all goes well now) fails for some reason any. Part of the concern here is that the corrupted files are potentially carriers of the virus or anything would be able to re - corrupting your system.

    Frankly, if it were my system, I'd be less likely to try to repair files corrupt and much more likely to replace everything. And Yes, I have separated from my system disk backups and my data disc, baked upward on the other two disks. Readers are cheap. So if you have backups and / or can make a reinstallation is complete, it would be my first choice recommendation.

    If you can't do that for some reason, some tips for the use of data recovery software.

    • Stop any activity involving the disk or disks that you want to recover files from. The reason is simple, the computer "works" - reads and writes information in the hard drive, more lucky that some of the files to recover will finish itself be replaced. The more often that happens the higher the risk that you will not get a "good recovery" - too much information will be unrecoverable.
    • Do not install it on the same drive you want to recover files from. Its OK to install the program on your D:\ or you get the portable version on a flash drive.
    • Given that the source of the problem is a virus / malware, i. by 'wash' everything you get with your antivirus program as soon as they are recovered.

    Good luck to you and keep me updated.

    Kind regards
