Hi,
I'm not sure what to put for the "Manifest Location" in the SandCastle BuildAssembler action. When I create help files manually, all I need is the SHFB file - what is the manifest and why does FinalBuilder need it?
Thank you!

Hi James,
The SHFB file is a project file created by “Sandcastle Help File Builder”, which is a GUI-Frontend to the Sandcastle components (BuildAssembler, MRefBuilder & XslTransform). To build a SHFB project you will need to use the “Execute Program” action to call the command line version of this tool, “SandcastleBuilderConsole.exe -projectFile”, where projectFile is the path to the SHFB file.
If you would like to see how to use the Sandcastle actions you can read the following blog post, which contains a tutorial on using the SandCastle components directly, https://blogs.msdn.com/sandcastle/archive/2006/07/29/682398.aspx.
Regards,
Paul.
Thank you Paul! That was exactly what I needed.
