Error with Captive runtime from optical media or usb drive

I can't get any captive runtime air applications to run from an optical disc or usb flash memory drive. The applications work until put on disc.

On windows I get the "Initial content can not be found" error. I have included all of the files created by the adt bundle.

On Mac, it just crashes immediately. In the console I see this message:

com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: ([0x0-0xce0ce].myApplication[1187]) Exited with code: 4

I've tried everything I can think of... don't know where to go from here.

Can you send me a copy of your application (ccampbel@adobe.com), I'd be happy to give this a try for you.

Thanks. I've found that the error only occurs on windows when a native extension is included. The crash on Mac happens with or without.

When you mentioned UDF, it reminded me of a post I made a few years ago (which surprised me since I usually can't remember what I wrote last week )

When I performed my test I simply dragged my .app file to the dvd in Finder and burned from there.

I haven't tried the windows side out but I'll see if I can burn a disk today.


I updated Toast and made a few discs. The Mac application works now on UDF. There are still symlink issues with the custom hybrid. It only works if the symlinks are removed and replaced with multiple copies of the framework, which results in a large filesize.

My main concern now is with Windows. Including any native extension results in the inital content not being found when running from a disc.
