I managed to reproduce the problem albeit without crashing Java (I work on a Linux box, not on Windows).

It's an out of memory caused by the large number of images (2,000 pages when printed; over 700 XML files; just over 1100 <imagedata> elements).

It's not surprising that XXE v5.9 eats a little more memory than v4.5.2. (Or is it a recent Java 64-bit runtime compared to an older Java 32-bit runtime?)



There are two ways to work around this problem:

1) Do not display the images normally. Display them as thumbnails. In order to do this, before opening your document, please Select Options|Preferences and then select the View section.

At the end of this section, you'll find a "Display images" combobox, please select "as thumbnails".

After doing this, I was able to open referenceguide.xml in about 25s (Quad-core Core i7; 8Gb) and to generate the Web Help. See it here:

AND/OR

2) Increase the amount of memory allowed for Java. How to do this is explained in the FAQ:

XXE freezes when I try to open large XML files. Is there a workaround for this problem?

After changing -Xmx512m to -Xmx2048m, I was able to open referenceguide.xml with the images displayed normally.

Moreover, after checking "Yes" in "Load images in a background task", an option which is almost mandatory for your use case, your document appeared after just 12s!
