I have just updated from CP2019 to the latest version (Captivate Classic 11.8.2.254) and have discovered that the file locations are no longer in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2019 x64\" but rather "C:\Program Files\Adobe\". The new Captivate is in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate".

Slightly confusing, but if you have modified files like me and therefore the update breaks projects, I hope this will save some time and headaches 🙂

Just want to comment that you are probably talking about the Captivate duo installed on a Mac.

This is NOT the same on Windows. Just to warn all users.

I rarely keep the default folders, check the location of the folders for both versions under Preferences, General.

No, PC 🙂

I can see where confusion might arise, so thanks for pointing this out. For clarity I am not referring to the default locations that can be changed in Preferences, but where Captivate saves its core files. I have a customised index.html file, which gets overwritten every time Captivate is updated. Most users won't do this, so it will not be relevant to them.

OK. That explains, but those folders will be different for a Mac user.

I am a lot more confused about the eLearning assets structure at this moment when using both 11.8.2 and 12.
