retained variables in an exe
June 12, 2011 12:00 AM
Hello Everyone,
I have an assessment that I publish out to an exe that has a retained variable that changes to 1 when the student reaches the 'landing page' at the end of the assessment. At the beginning of the assessment there is an action that says if this variable is equal to 1, then cancel the test. This is so the user can not keep taking the pretest. This works fine except for one thing... one student was able to just change the name of the .exe and retake the test. When they changed the name of the .exe file of the assessment the retained variable was no longer retained. I know that the retained variables are stored in the registry, but not sure where. Does anyone know why changing the name of the .exe does this and is there any why to get around it?
Thanks,
DKeil
