[My answer assumes that OPlanner.xml is a DocBook 4 document.] Convertdoc executes XMLmind XML Editor's process commands and there indeed is no process command called "docb.toCHM".
As explained here -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/convertdoc.html -- you need to know a process command in order to use it in convertdoc. I mean, there is no way to *guess* which arguments to pass to convertdoc. Please take a look at XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl and search for "docb.toHTMLHelp". By doing this, you'll see that you'll have to run something like: C:\Program Files (x86)\XMLmind_XML_Editor\bin> convertdoc.bat docb.toHTMLHelp Y:\Planner\Manuals\OPlanner.xml -u "Y:\Planner\Files\Generated for Build\OPlanner.chm" Please do not forget the -u and the quotes, otherwise the above command cannot work.
