Hi JR, A common mistake is for people receiving the zip file not to unzip the file first and save the contents in a folder on their computer BEFORE trying to view the presentation. So:

1) They receive the zip file and save to their desktop (say)
2) They unzip the file and make sure they save the contents of the zip file to a folder on their desktop (say)
3) Finally they open the folder and then double-click on the player.html file to launch the presentation.

Hope that helps.

Hi!

I recently purchased Studio 09 for our department and made an interaction. After publishing it on a web, I sent the zip file as an attachment for viewing by upper management. Unfortunately, the links I created are not working nor can the receiver view the published interaction.

Any ideas?

Hi Felicia,
Yes you should be ok with Server2Go. You just need to be careful with your directory structure. You would want each presentation to go in a separate folder and then have the menu.html at the root level of the htdocs folder with the 8 module folders. You would need to change the menu.html to index.html. Your links in the menu would then point to the player.html within each module folder. Each module folder would in turn also hold the corresponding player and data folders. That way, files are not confused between presentations. Please get back if that doesn’t answer your question.

Hello Dave
Thanks for the great info regarding Server2Go. Just tried to use it myself, and your post is extremely helpful. However, I still can’t get it right. I am wondering if that’s because of the way the original “course” was organized. We thought we had a lot of content, so we broke the course into 8 “modules” that are really just separate PPTs/published files, brought together under one “menu.html” file with buttons linked to each of the 8 published modules. My question is with this organization in mind, can I use Server2Go with the same directions as your post? Each module has its own /data folder, /player folder, and player.html. Any ideas? Thank you very much.
