HTML Help Compiler Error HHC3004
How a Sandcastle CHM build can fail because of filenames containing multiple dots followed by a part starting with 'H', causing an HHC3004 warning.
Today i had an error by building my sandcastle documentation project.
After compiling during opening the output instead my chm-file in the help viewer the internet explorer pops up with an error message that the destination could not be found. So i took a look in the log of the compile process and there was some warnings of the following type listed:
HHC3004: Warning: Resources.HandlingCursors.01.png :
The HTML tag <CRYPTICAL SIGNS> is not a valid HTML tag (it does not begin with an alphanumeric character).
After google this I got the hint, that in filenames with multiple dots no part should start with character “H”!!! So HandlingCursors was the problem.
After renaming in Resources.Cursors.01.png everything works fine.
