Producing a file as executable.

[Guest]

I have a file that I would like to publish as executable.  When I click on publish, there is usually a drop down menu that I could select executable from.  In this instance, there is no drop down menu and the file appears to be defaulted to HTML5.  How can I publish as an executable file?  Thanks for your help.  This is the image that comes up and I'm use to seeing the drop down menu next to Publish as:

EXE or SWF are not an available outputs for a Responsive Project. Only HTML

Hi Rod - I had four other responsive project files I created and when I clicked on produce there was the option to produce in executable file.  I may have done something different but I recorded them the same way.  How could I take this and produce in a way that could be sent for people to view outside of the learning management system?

That is not possible, Charles. Responsive projects are HTML output only, and publishing to exe means that you need SWF output. Same for output to pdf. You can publish the output folder to a webserver and send the link, for those that have no access to the LMS.

Hi there

I'm going to have to say that this is basically impossible. Please give the video below a view to see why.

It's easy enough to identify which projects are or are not Responsive CPTX files.  Just open them in Captivate and look along the top of the Edit window area.  The Responsive projects always have those extra coloured buttons that allow you to set the viewport sizes.  Non-responsive projects don't.

Thank you Rod - I cannot find the icon to answer correct.  As always, you are correct, we did the recording the wrong way for what we wanted to do on the back end.  Oops.

Thanks for your help and I appreciate it.  How do I give you the "correct points"?

It looks to me like you already have nominated my answer as the correct one.  So don't worry about it.
