Error Code :87 when compiling Visual Studio 20xx Help

Unread post by Roman Turcanu »

Has anyone encountered this issue before:

When publishing a Help&Manual project to Visual Studio 20xx format, compilation fails with the following message:

Code: Select all

Help compiler started:

Error Creating Process Error Code :87
I am on Windows 8.1 Enterprise, 64-bit. My Help&Manual version is 6.4.2 Build 2929. I tried both Single .HxS file and .HxS with separate .HxI file as output type. Namespace and unique identifier are also filled in and do not contain blank values.

I can compile successfully to Visual Studio 2010+ format.

Will appreciate any help, thank you.

Hi Roman,

Before doing anything else, please update to the current version of Help & Manual, which is 6.5.1 Build 2975. You can download the installer here (just install on top of your current version to update):

Please post again if you continue to have the same problem after updating.

Hi Tim, and thank you,

The issue is solved now. I was missing Visual Studio 2003 and Help Integration Package.
