[Framers] SOLVED: Publish error message

[Rick Quatro]

OK, I figured out the problem. I have a program that I wrote called
SmartLauncher that automatically launches the correct version of FrameMaker
when you double click on a .fm file. I wrote this because I work with
clients with various FrameMaker versions so I have 6 versions of FrameMaker
installed on my computer. So my .fm, .book, and .mif file associations were
changed to point to the SmartLauncher program. Apparently, this causes
problems with the Publish feature. When I change the file associations back
to FrameMaker and restart FrameMaker, Publish works.

Hi Rick,

This might be a real long shot, but I get the same message in ePublisher
(webworks) when one of two things happens:

1.) The path that contains the book file exceeds the Windows 255 character
length (even tho' the book points to itself)
2.) There is a missing dll. I am not sure of all the dlls that Framemaker
needs - I just know the ones that ePublisher needs, but it's a thought.

I am trying to use Publish in FrameMaker 2015 and am getting this error:

Failed to get any FrameMaker document from <path to my book>

The book is open and I opened all of the components in the book. Everything
is there with no missing graphics, fonts, etc. I tried it with another book
and I get the same message. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
