IN previous versions of Captivate, publishing as an exe was an option.  How do you do this with 2017?

Still there, but you have to be aware that EXE is Flash-based:

Thank you for the prompt response.  I eventually found it because the dropdown list was not active until I hovered my mouse over the top part of the dropdown list.

Even though the .exe output is Flash-based, it *should* be ok. I believe it uses the IE ActiveX control (or it used to), so as long as a user has Flash installed, it should work. As far as I know, systems themselves aren't blocking localized Flash content, just browsers for online content.

I've not published to .exe in years, so I'm not positive that's all true, but I do believe it's at least less-risky than publishing SWF for the web.
