From: PFTW on 10 Jan 2008 11:10 RAM isn't the issue since we're testing on several different boxes and as far as I know, they're new. The issue seems to be either the upgrade to XP or the Browser version (IE 6 SP2 128 bit) since the courses work on the current configuration (Win 2k, IE 5). I'm also wondering if perhaps the cause could be that they're completely locking down the computers so that the C:\ can't be written to. Doesn't the AW webplayer still create an A6W_DATA folder in the Windows directory where it writes data files? If this is the case, would the inability to write these files cause these errors? Would it effect any of the publish options for the files such as Recycle or OnDemand

In the Authorware 6.5 player, all files the player needs are downloaded to the System folder. This includes Xtras, u32's, media--everything. > If this is the case, would the inability to write these > files cause these errors?

If the player cannot write to the System folder, of course you will get errors. The 2004 player has a different method of operation: There is a "stub" installed in the System directory that has to be installed by an administrator or pushed to the machines. All other files, including Xtras, u32's, etc., will download to a location that you can specify. By default, it will go into the user's profile, which will usually be on C. If the users cannot write to anywhere on C, you will need to use the registration key (use the archives to find the path to the key) to change that to someplace the user _can_write. -Amy

No. The Authorware 7 player was released with Authorware 7. The 2004 player was released several months after. I typed "Authorware web player 2004" into the Adobe website search box and got this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=authorware+web+player+2004 You may want to try similar techniques in the future when you suspect you might have misunderstood something that was said on an Adobe forum :-) "PFTW" <webforumsuser(a)macromedia.com> wrote in message news:fm5q74$e49$1(a)forums.macromedia.com... > By 2004 player, do you mean the version 7 player? |
