Publishing to .exe with an External HTML Object
April 2, 2013 12:00 AM
Gang,
Something we have to do with our product is make an .exe. Our previous version used SABA publisher and we were using an 3party HTML to EXE program to make our .exe. When we try that now, page number are not coming up. So I thought I would try making the .exe in Lectora. It won’t let External HTML Objects be published in an .exe. I'm using an External HTML Object to check if the page is loaded to be able to use ExternalInterface.addCallback in Flash.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Ramona

Hello Ramona,
Could you please let me know the name of the 3party tool that you are using to go from HTML to EXE?
Thanks,
Adriana
I would really be interested in knowing the 3rd party software as well. I seems that there is greater reliance on javascript but adding external HTML eliminates EXE publishing in Lectora.
I think there's going to be much better support for external HTML in Lectora 12. It has a brand new way of launching content via EXE and basically abandons the old EXE approach.

You're right!
In Lectora 12, we've streamline the EXE and CD publish with a new "Publish for Offline Use" option. The content runs in a framed window, like with EXE. You can also take the published files and put them on a CD (or a thumb drive, or shared network drive). Either way, you can run the content when you're not connected to the internet.
However, the difference is that Lectora publishes HTML files - so you won't get a publish error if you have External HTML and other web objects in your title. Moreover, CSS, Javascript and HTML5 will render and run even if you're not connected to the Web.
