Urgent-need authorware 7 FULL installer

Question

Hi all:
Evidently Macromedia no longer makes the FULL installer for
Authorware 7 - I need this player FULL installer to help a customer
who is using it. Can someone please give me the link or email me
the player - I need this asap.... By the FULL installer I am
referring to the one that creates the AW70, AW65, AW50, AW40 etc
folders all at once when you install it under
windows\system32\macromed\authorwa\np32asw folder...... Please make
certain yours does this before emailing me back... On the Adobe
site, it doesn't install those folders above and I need to
experiment with the specific player installer I mention and not the
newest one.....
Thanks
Patrick

Answer 1

Your frustration is somewhat understandable, but you're
letting it get
in the way of working out the problem...or you just don't
grasp the way
identifying the web player works in an HTML document (which,
if true,
you really should put some effort into understanding).
When you web package an Authorware application, a 'parent'
HTML document
is created. In OBP, you choose what player you want the HTML
to attempt
to download to the user if that player does not exist on
their system.
In Authorware 7 you can, of course, choose the Full Player,
which then
adds the 'codebase' for that player to the HTML document.
The codebase contains a link to where that player is located
on
Macromedia's (Adobe's) server. If you copy/paste that link to
your
browser address bar, you can download it just as you would
any other file.
To spare you further frustration, this is the codebase link
OBP
generates in an HTML document when the Full Player is
selected:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/authorware/awswaxf.cab#version=7,0,0,70
(beware wrapping)
I entered that into my Firefox address bar and was asked if I
wanted to
save the file, so it is present on Adobe's server.
Good luck!
