How to change the name of the file 'Default.mcwebhelp?

Post by Dasha_O »

Hi!
I have a merged HTML5 project and when I start building a parent target, this is the error that I see:
<...>
Build failed: HTML5 - Tripane: Linked Projects Compiler: C:\XXXXXXX\Marketing Collateral\Marketing Collateral.flprj: More than one linked help system is named 'Default.mcwebhelp'. Please rename one of them so the projects can be properly merged.
<...>

What is the best way to rename one of 'Default.mcwebhelp?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Dasha. Welcome to the forums! :)

I believe that that file is named based on the name of the target and/or the output file (I suspect the latter; I'm not on Flare at the moment to check.) Sounds like you have more than one project whose target is outputting to "default", and that's why the conflict. I'd try setting the output file in at least one project to a specific name, not just "default".

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Yeah. The output file name in the target needs to be unique. This name is applied to the folder and entry level html files.
