Publishing to Windows Executable (exe) play options

Captivate 4.0.1 build 1658. On any Windows platform.
When I publish to "Windows Executable" and then play the resultant EXE file, the window is a fixed size with no scroll bars. This presents a problem when customers attempt to run the EXE on very small (e.g. Netbooks, etc) computer screens, as they cannot see the player controls at the bottom of the window.
Is there any way to
force scroll bars on the play back
allow for shortcut keys (Ctrl+P for Play; Ctrl+Shft+P for Pause, etc) to allow the user to control playback
What other options might there be that I am not thinking of?
I use EXE because I need this video tutorial to play on Windows boxes after product installation.
Thanks,
Jeff

I've never published CP projects that way so not sure...
But I've published Flash projects that needed to be .exe's and have used SWFKit with great success.
Very versatile tool, inexpensive, and lots of options. I'd be surprised if it couldn't do what you need.
If so, then publish your CP file to SWF then embed that SWF into an .exe with SWFKit...

Adobe AIR 1.5 - Package AIR installer as a native Windows Executable (.EXE)

Hello Adobe AIR community,
Is there any way to package the installer for an Adobe AIR application using Adobe AIR 1.5 as an executable (.EXE) file?
I found that this is possible for Adobe AIR 2.0, but it requires an upgrade to Adobe AIR 2.0 runtime. Are there any other options using the Adobe AIR 1.5 runtime?
Thanks,
Mauricio

Check out this one to solve out your query: Code: Ext.onReady(function () { var testWindow = new Ext.Window({ titel: 'Test', layout: 'form', width: 300, height: 300, items: [{ xtype: 'textfield', fieldLabel: 'Test', maskRe: /\d|\,/ }] }); testWindow.show(); }); -----------------------------

What are the system requirements to see an auto demo of windows executable format(.exe)

Dear all
I am using Captivate 4 for making auto demo's of softwares. I usually publish the project as windows executable (.exe) type.Some of my customers complaint me of the exe file not showing properly in some systems.What might be the problem? Can any one give me the system requirements for an exe file to run properly..
Regards
Crazdobe

Hello,
Video and audio will have higher system requirements of course, but it is difficult to give an indication of what is really a minimum because it depends also on the amount of video/audio and on their quality. Available RAM, graphics card RAM, processor, hard disk space, there are so many different factors that are important.
But what is happening with your Text Entry Boxes: are you talking about text entered by the user, or about a Typing object?

[SOLVED] Dolphin won't preview windows executable files

I use to have KDE 4 on my old computer.
I had configured dolphin to show previews in all folders and enabled windows executables under the preview options.
With this configuration I was able to see the icons of the executables both on my desktop and in dolphin.
I have just finished moving over to Plasma and when I went thought and enabled the previewing of the executables in dolphin they don't show up and instead show a green icon.
I just use putty as a test file since it worked in KDE 4.
EDIT: Just realized this should probably go under Applications & Desktop Environments. If a mod could move it there that would be great.

Nothing special, just "microsoft executables" in the preview configuration. You still have to enable preview in that folder, but I think that's what you meant by "enabled previews on all folders".
edit: putty.exe works

Publish Button Greyed out for Standalone Option

I'm using Captivate 3.0 for my project. I'm attempting to
publish my project using the Standalone feature. Unfortunately, the
Publish button is Greyed out. It doesn't matter what the file name
is, where I'm saving it, what's checked or unchecked...the button
is just greyed out the whole time.
How can I enable the Publish button through the Standalone
feature?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all
Have any of you tried upgrading the Flash Player version on
your PC? I notice from the screen capture, that Flash Player 6 is
selected, but disabled. Normally Captivate 3 only offers versions
7, 8 and 9 as an option. At first, I saw version 6 listed here and
thought that perhaps Captivate 2 was being used, as it was the last
version that offered the ability to publish in Flash Player 6
format. But I then noticed that the File Type of Windows Executable
wasn't selectable as well as the dialog showing Adobe Connect.
These are indicators you are using Captivate 3.
So the only thing that seems to make sense is that perhaps
you have Flash Player 6 on your PC and need to upgrade it.
This
link should take you to the Flash Player Download Center, where
your version in use should be reported and you will have the
ability to install a newer version.
Let us know how it goes! Rick

Invoking a call to a window executable fails when request output to file

Hi,
When invoking a call to a window executable it fails(returns 1 instead of 0) when requesting output to file by using "> filename.txt". This nornally works when run directly within a
windows command prompt, and it also works if I don't add the "> filename.txt" at the end. Also instead of outputting to a file I would like the same called executable to output to a memory variable that I can extract data without going to a external text file.
Below is the .java file
package com.insequence.gv;
public class Jinvoker {
          public static int invoke(String program) throws java.io.IOException, java.lang.InterruptedException
               System.out.println("invoking program: " + program);
               Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(program);
               int exitValue = p.waitFor();
               return exitValue;
          public static void main(String[] argv)
               try
               System.out.println("invoker start");
//               int retval = invoke("c:\\tvalesky\\java\\invoker\\targetexe arg1 arg2 arg3");
//               int retval = invoke("C:\\Program Files\\FWTools1.1.0\\bin\\gdalinfo.exe C:\\data\\EarthData2005\\Ortho\\no_collaged.tif");
               String arg1 = "C:\\data\\EarthData2005\\Ortho\\no_collaged.tif > c:\\testing.txt";
//               String arg1 = "C:\\data\\EarthData2005\\Ortho\\no_collaged.tif";
               int retval = invoke("C:\\Program Files\\FWTools1.1.0\\bin\\gdalinfo.exe " + arg1);
//               int retval = invoke("C:\\Program Files\\FWTools1.1.0\\bin\\gdalinfo.exe");
//               String arg1 = "-s_srs epsg:26915 -t_srs epsg:4326 C:\\data\\EarthData2005\\Ortho\\no_collaged.tif C:\\data\\EarthData2005\\Ortho\\no_collaged2.tif";
//               int retval = invoke("C:\\Program Files\\FWTools1.1.0\\bin\\gdalwarp.exe " + arg1);
//               int retval = invoke("C:\\testing.bat C:\\data\\EarthData2005\\Ortho\\no_collaged2.tif");
               System.out.println("invoker end: returned " + retval);
               catch(java.io.IOException e)
                    System.out.println("IOException caught: " + e);
               catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e)
                    System.out.println("InterruptedException caught: " + e);
Thanks,

Well, if you ultimately want the output from the process, you don't need to redirect it to a file first. Just read from the standard output of the process. See [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Process.html#getInputStream()]Process.getInputStream and Process.getErrorStream. You'll need to read from both simultaneously so you'll need to create two threads. You could also use [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html]ProcessBuilder if you're using Java 1.5

J2sdk-1_4_1-windows-i586.exe corrupted (cannot unpack)

I cannot install j2sdk 1.4.1.
First I downloaded it from http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/DisplayLinks
"You have chosen to download Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.1
Download j2sdk-1_4_1-windows-i586.exe .
Filesize = 37,724,482 bytes."
to
c:\Downloads\j2sdk-1_4_1-windows-i586.exe 37,724,482 bytes
Correct number of bytes.
Double-clicking on this file brings up a dialog with title
"Java 2 SDK - InstallShield Wizard"
with a progress bar labelled "Reading contents of package..."
The progress bar reaches 100% and then starts from 0 again. Shortly after, the dialog is replaced with an error dialog stating:
"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again."
This is the third time that I have tried to install the Java 2 SDK and each time I have had the same result. Each time the downloaded file has had the correct number of bytes. There are many posts here describing the same problem, but I have not seen one that has a universal solution.
It seems to me that the problem is to do with the installation environment:
Operating system: Windows 95 Copyright 1981 � 1996
Pentium MMX 166 MHz, 64 MB RAM, 3GB unused disk space
J2SDK-1_4_1-WINDOWS-I586.EXE Dependencies:
File Version
ADVAPI32.DLL 4.71.118.0
COMCTL32.DLL 5.81.4807.2300
GDI32.DLL 4.0.0.950
J2SDK-1_4_1-WINDOWS-I586.EXE 2.11.15.0
KERNEL32.DLL 4.0.0.1111
LZ32.DLL 4.0.0.950
SHELL32. DLL 4.0.0.1111
USER32. DLL 4.0.0.950
I have 2 versions of InstallShield installed. I think that the problem is with my operating system or my InstallShield installations. Anyone know the solution?

Window 95 is not supported for this version and you are at the ragged edge as far as processor speed.
This is the beginning of the installation instructions that are on the download page:
"System Requirements
The JavaTM 2 SDK is supported on Microsoft Windows 98 (1st or 2nd edition), Windows NT 4.0 with with Service Pack 5 or later, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later, running on Intel hardware. In non-English locales, the only edition of Microsoft Windows 2000 tested with this release is the Professional edition.
Note -- Trying to install the Java 2 SDK on a non-supported version of Microsoft Windows or on a machine that doesn't have a sufficiently up-to-date Service Pack will cause the installer to generate this warning: "We recommend that you do not install this Java(TM) Platform for the following reasons: This Java(TM) Platform does not support the operating system or operating-system service pack on this machine."
A Pentium 166MHz or faster processor with at least 32 megabytes of physical RAM is required to run graphically based applications. Forty-eight megabytes of RAM is recommended for applets running within a browser using the Java Plug-in product. Running with less memory may cause disk swapping which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance.
You should have 120 megabytes of free disk space before attempting to install the Java 2 SDK software."

How to create windows executable file from a java file. Please help.

Hi,
For my project I developed the codes in Java. It is working well with java run time environment. But without that I can not run it. I need to create a exe file (windows executable file) from the java source code. If you have any idea please share it with me.
Even if you know it very lightly, please help with what you know. That would be a big help for me.
Thank you very much.

Does anybody know how to read a manual?

Captivate 7 course published to ScormCloud is only playing on some browsers

We recently purchased Captivate 7 to convert our old elearning content. It was simple enough to use, but I am now finding that the courses are not playing across all browsers. The courses are pretty basic slides (image, mp3, text) and every so often I have an mp4 video embedded on a slide. I published them to swf and html5. I then uploaded them to scormcloud to test, and I get the following results:
On a Mac (osX lion 10.7.1)
     Plays fine on Firefox
     Does not even start on Chrome
     Does not even start on Safari (gives an "error initializing communications with LMS)
iPhone/iPad:
     Cannot even get it to start. Just shows a blank black screen.
On my PC (Windows 8):
     Plays fine on Chrome
     Plays fine on Safari (although the videos load a little slower)
     I have yet to test it on Firefox or IE -- but only because they don't work after the upgrade to 8!
Windows 7:
     Plays fine on Chrome and IE (slight delay in videos)
     Plays on Firefox but with significant delay on video slides.
Any thoughts on what the issue may be and how to address it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Arthur

Thanks for the reply, Rod. When published to just SWF, it plays fine. But the course does not play at all when published as html5. The html5 tracker shows there are no incompatibilities. Publishing as html5 seems pretty cut and dry, though, so I don't think I have any settings that would prevent it from working. But I cannot even get the preview HTML5 output in web browser to work.
I combined SWF and HTML5 in my original post only because that is the way we need them to be published ultimately. Feel free to offer any suggestions here if you can think of anything right off the bat, but I will post a new question in the forum, specifically addressing the html5 issue.
Thanks,
Arthur

DDE Server Windows: iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Windows 7 Home Premium
When I start iTunes I get this error. I click OK 4 times and iTunes starts and works OK.
DDE Server Windows: iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point QTCF_CFHTTPMessageSetHeaderFieldValue could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll.
I reinstalled iTunes 10.5.3.3 and selected the repair option. Same error.
I reinstalled QuickTime 7.7.1 (1680.42) and selected the repair option. Same error.

Peculiar. I don't think iTunes versions 10.5.x need a QTCF.dll to launch. So something odd is afoot.
Can you check something for me? Do a search of your C drive for QTCF.dll. How many copies do you find, and what is their location?
On a 32-bit system, the standard location is:
C:\Program files\QuickTime\QTSystem\
On a 64-bit system, the standard location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\

DDE Server Windows; iTunes.exe 0x089c1040 such memory cannot be "written"

downloaded and executed iTunes,
iTunes Software License Agreement, after "agree".
Error Prompt appear:
DDE Server Windows: iTunes.exe
"0x089c1040" reference internal memory. Such Internal memory cannot be "written"
After "confirm"
error message disappear but nothing happen,
Your advice of what's next will be greatly appreciate.

Hey back!
I found out how to solve it
i just needed to install the new quicktime version xD
now everything is perfect !^^
but thanks to all who read it!

i keep trying to oppen my itunes on my laptop (a dell inspiron with windows 7) and it keeps saying: "DDE server window: itunes.exe - corrupt disk "
also says "the folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder"
i dont know anything about this kind of stuff i need detailled help please

hi Hung Tang!
hmmm. just to be on the safe side, please try searching for that file again, after having done this:
Open "My computer". go to the Tools menu. Select "folder options ..." click the "view" tab. Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is checked and "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked, like so:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?pic=1yUGzJM0gRKQ8LtcizzwMSgXNb2u
If the QT file still isn't showing up then, and the fix from that QTfW thread is still impossible to apply, then I think that a
b clean
uninstall then reinstall (with freshly downloaded itunes and ipod software) would be prudent. we want to try to try to get rid of any corrupted files (in either your itunes or quicktime set-ups).
Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT
It would also be prudent to back up your music prior to doing this. we aren't going to be doing anything that would normally affect them, but it's best not to tempt fate.

DDE server window: iTunes.exe- No Disk

When I open itunes I get this window that's labeled DDE Server Window: iTunes.exe-No Disk
