Summary:
SYMPTOMS
When the Windows Help Compiler compiles a help project file, the
following error message appears:
Error P1083: Invalid context identification number
CAUSE
The representation of the context identification number begins with
a zero and contains the digit 8 or 9.
RESOLUTION
Remove the leading zeros from the number.
More Information:
The Windows Help Compiler parses a number that has a leading zero as
an octal number. C compilers also interpret numbers in this manner.
Only the digits 0 through 7 are legal in an octal number.
