It worked! I can create CHM and HTML now. Just implemented the same things on a fresh machine.
I tried the tutorial example, as well as created a new DITAMAP. On my machine, it's probably conflicting with other DLLs, as I have other plug-ins installed. My next worry: the number of elements in DITA are too many. Can I just go and delete un-necessary elements?
