How to open an executable file from within Captivate

Hi guys,

I wondered if any of you guys could help me...

I am using Captivate 3 and I have created a project in this and exported it as a standalone executable file.

Ideally I would like to link this to another standalone executable file exported from Captivate, so is it possible
to create a button in the first file so when it has been exported, if I click on this it opens up the second standalone file?

Thanks for your help in advance.

    I'm pretty sure that, for security reasons, the projector app that Captivate uses for stand-alone EXEs is sandboxed: you won't be able to access the API of the host operating system, so you won't be able to launch any apps.
