How do I publish an exe file?

I am new to Director and I am greatly benefiting from this
forum. I have a Director question that maybe someone can help me
with. It's a ridiculously simple problem but somehow I can't figure
it out. Here it is:
How do I publish/export an exe from Director? I want to put
the my output movie on a CD-ROM as an exe and, despite trying many
different publish settings, all I get is a shockwave movie.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks

"It's a lousy decision" -- I couldn't agree more. I'm a
longtime Director developer (since MacroMind days) but since my new
employers didn't have a current version, I ordered D11 through our
software purchasing process, which takes a little time. Downloaded
the demo version so I could get started w/my app ... but, no, I
can't create one with the demo version. Very silly decision on
Adobe's part ... what was wrong with a watermark as a solution to
people using the demo instead of buying the product? Taking a hard
look at Adobe AIR as an alternative, and maybe something like
Appcelerator/Titanium or Multidmedia Zinc so users don't have to
deal with AIR runtime install issues. I really hope Adobe's neglect
is not the end for Director.

    Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
    to it you need to create a local variable.

  • How do I change and .exe file so it will work on my mac?

    I am trying to download an Active X plug-in and install it on my Mac so I can log onto a website that supports this Active X plug-in only. How do I change an .exe file so it will work to where I can install it on my Mac?

    You can't install Windows software natively on your Mac but you can run Microsoft Virtual PC <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=virtualpc> if your Mini is a PowerPC Mac or you can use something like Parallels <http://www.parallels.com> or Apple's Boot Camp <http://www.apple.com/bootcamp> if your Mini is an Intel Mac.
    Virtual PC comes with Windows but Parallels and Boot Camp will require you to install your own licensed version of Windows purchased separately.
    Then you'll be able to run Windows on your Mac, which means you can use ActiveX in your IE browser.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • How can I publish an ics file to a remote server from my calendar server?

    I am running Lion Server and have Calendar Service up and running. I have an account with a couple of calendars, one of which I'd like to publish to a remote server, as an .ics file.
    From an iCal client it is possible to publish local calendars, but not remote calendars (for which the only option seems to be to 'Share').
    How can I can I publish an ics file to a remote server? Programatically, if necessary.

    I have this working now.
    curl -s --digest -u username:password -o calendar.ics http://hostname:8008/calendars/users/username/calendar/
    generates the .ics file, and a combination of cadaver (from webdav.org) and an expect script upload hourly (via cron) to the remote server:
    set timeout 60
    spawn /usr/local/bin/cadaver
    expect "dav"
    send "open https://remotehost/path/\r"
    expect "Do you wish to accept the certificate? (y/n)"
    send "y\r"
    expect "dav"
    send "put calendar.ics\r"
    expect "dav"
    send "close\r"

    send "quit\r"

  • How do I move two exe. files to a windows 8 machine

    I have two exe. files I need to move to a windows machine. I believe I may be able to do this via ethernet cables. Is there some set of instructions somewhere that can help me with this? The windows version is 8.xx. I have no idea about it. The last time I bought a non-Apple computer was way back before Windows even  existed. There was such a time. Back in the 80s. The 1980s. This little Toshiba laptop I bought today is here for one reason only and that is to run firmware updater routines on a Davis Weather Console that cannot be accessed via a Mac. I don't have a lot of time to waste on this. I hope somebody knows how to do this. Sure appreciate some help if you can do this.

  • How to include and call exe file in jar?

    Hi, I am writing a Java application that calls an external exe file to accomplish some tasks. In order to make the program more user friendly, I would like to package the Java application and the exe file into one JAR file and distribute that JAR file to users. I tried to package all these files by running the following command:
    jar cmf manifest.txt java_class_file exe_fileThe manifest.txt contains only the following entry:
    Main-Class: java_class_fileHowever, when I execute the program with java -jar bundle.jar, the JVM complains that it cannot find the exe file. (Everything works fine when I run the original class file with java)
    Would anyone kindly teach me how to do this?
    Thanks in advance!

    You cannot call an exe file in a jar.
    You can have the jar unpack the exe and then run it however.

  • How do I call another exe file from a Java program?

    Hi,
    I am doing a simple IDE (text editor/interpreter) for a simple programming language we are developing. It will be submitted as our project for this semester. I created an exe file (in C) which will be used as the interpreter. How do I call the interpreter from my IDE? The interpreter should run when the user clicks a button (i.e. the "Run" button). I've tried the Java Runtime class but it doesn't work. Anyone who knows how to do it?
    Thanks!

    I first tried to do a simple program that calls system commands such as dir, cd <dir>, etc.
    I do not have the exact code right now but as far as I can remember, here's what I wrote:
    class Sample{
        public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
           BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
           String command;
           while ((command = in.readLine()).equalsIgnoreCase("exit") == false){
              try{
                Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
              }catch(Exception e){
                 System.err.println("Error: " + e);
          System.exit(0);

    download the 7-zip SDK and then use that to try to open an EXE as an archive
    this is what I would try

    I use 7-zip which is a free archive and backup tool

  • How do I publish Android APK files from CS5?

    As far as I can understand you need three things to be able to publish Android APK files from CS5:
    1. Air 2.5 or greater (I've downloaded and installed 2.7 beta)
    2. Android SDK (I've downloaded and installed)
    3. Flash CS5 Android Extension (NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE)
    That's right, the last thing you need is no longer available because Adobe is rolling it into the next Flash version. So because I didn't get in on the prerelease with the extension...I'm just out of luck? That can't be right. How do you create APK files from CS5 when you can't get the extension? All of the tutorials out there for creating Android content from CS5 use this simple extension that seems to make everything so easy. What is Adobe's answer for creating APKs out of CS5 if you weren't part of the prerelease? They don't have the extension available anymore so there must be a way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You must use the Android extension to get the menu "AIR for Android", for you and das please find the below link:

  • How do I launch and exe. file?

    I downloaded a youtube to mp3 converter.  I have the exe. file but cannot figure out how to launch it to set up the program.

    Install Windows with Boot Camp
    Exe file only run with Windows
    P.S. IMHO a very poor reason installing Windows. I would suggest doing some more ssearching for convertion programs because there are ones for Mac available.
    P.S.S. But then I never think that is a good reason to install Windows.

  • How can I create a *. exe file

    Im new to Java but i did some C++ before. When I wrote a program in c++ it created a *.exe file. I didnt really see anything like it. So How can I do it??
    Thanks for your help

    correction, jar files can be run through the Java Virtual Machine on Windows by double-clicking them simply because they are associated with the JRE installed on that system.
    The JVM will look for the Main-Class attribute in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file within the jar.
    As an analogy, can .doc files be executed ? no, but they can run by double-clicking them and opening Microsoft Word (if it is installed on the system).
    Have fun !!

  • How to generate & publish  webhelp html files in different folder than default folder

    Hi All,
    I am new to robo help. I have a requirement to generate & publish webhelp html files in a different folder than default folder.
    Could anyone please tell me the steps to change the folder
    Thanks
    Rashmi

    You change the generate folder and filename in the first field on the first page of the wizard. It must be a folder on your hard disk.
    You change the publish folder in the last page of the wizard. Anywhere you like.
