Sandcastle is running out of memory about shfb

[EWSoftware]

The x64 setting applies to the platform selected for the solution/project documentation sources. SHFB is itself 64-bit so no issues there. If you're building a Help 1 file though, that is the issue since the help 1 compiler is a 32-bit application so won't use all available memory. There's nothing SHFB can do about that. Switching to website or Open XML output for standalone help are the only alternatives. Although with that many topics, Open XML probably isn't a good solution so website is the better option assuming you can host it somewhere.

Thanks a lot Eric. I was able to generate help using one of the 2 approaches you mentioned.

can 64 bit of "help 1 compiler" be integrated with SHFB? I see many posting in web due to memory limit issue, integrating 64 bits of "help 1 compiler" will help a lot. Thanks

As far as I know there is no 64-bit version of the help 1 compiler (part of the HTML Help Workshop). It's really old and 32-bit only.
