CP6 MultiSco packager not accepting manually zipped published projects

I need to include some pdfs in my published captivate folder that the user can download from the course. To do that, I publish the course as a Folder, not zipped, add the pdfs in the folder and then manually zipped the publish folder. The MultiSco packager will not accept my manually zipped files. How do you work around this, these files really need to be in the same published folder? I've done this before MultiSco packager existed and never had problems.

Correct answer RodWard

Alternatively you can just publish the course to a folder once (so that the publish folder exists), copy your PDFs in there as required, and then republish again using the Captivate zip option.  As Varun mentions, if your content is intended for LMS, you need to make sure LMS reporting is turned on before publishing.

When Captivate zips the folder it doesn't do it the way most people think, by zipping the folder from the outside.  Rather the process is to select all content INSIDE the folder and then zip.  This means the imsmanifest.xml file is then located at the root level of the zip file.  If the imsmanifest.xml is not found in this level, the LMS will reject your zip package as an invalid SCORM.

Thanks to both of you. Yes, it was set up to SCORM, so that wasn't the problem. What fixed it was publishing the folder, adding whatever additional files needed into that publish folder. Then, like RodWard mentioned, selecting the contents INSIDE the folder and zipping those.

Hi there,

Make sure that in Quiz reporting SCORM is selected.

You can publish the course with zipped option checked, after that plcae the PDF in the same location, and then drag & drop that pdf to that zipped folder.

Please try this and check whether Multi Sco Packager accepts that file.

Thanks.
