Question

Can I hyperlink to an EXE file?

Cp7, Windows 7(64)

I want to create a CD-ROM for customers.

I want to link to several projects.

One of the projects has its own loader and directory structure.

I want to link to this non-Captivate EXE file,

I have published all "my" projects as EXE files (the other project was created by someone else).

Aggregator only allows SWF (makes sense).

I am trying to develop a Captivate project that will have hyperlinks to EXEs published by Captivate and to a non-Captivate EXE (which is in its own subdirectory).

When I link to the EXE I get file not found or website not found.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Michael

Sent a private message to you about the EXE not created by me.

However, I have a general question that I hope to find an answer for:

A) I develop a Cp7 project

B) I publish that project as an EXE file

C) I create another project

D) In this new project, I want to have a hyperlink associated with a word or two in a SmartShape.

E) How do I get the hyperlink to open the EXE I created and published first?

I can't seem to find how to manage the file locatons. When I do a similar thing but publish to SWF/HTML, I can link to the other projects with no difficulty. When the other projects are EXEs, I can't seem to get it to work.

I am disappointed that I cannot find a help page or other documentation that will guide me through the process.

Thank you again for any help you can offer.

Michael
