Can't figure this one out... when I go to copy or move a published course folder I get a weird error message about an mp3 file being in use. So can't copy folder.
If I zip it first, I can copy/move it but then upon extraction it gives the following error message:
Now the really weird part... there are no sounds, mp3 or otherwise in the course.
Does this happen with just a specific course? I would suggest republishing it to a new directory on your C: drive and use Articulate's built in zip function to zip it and see if that resolves it.
At least now I know why a sound file is involved at all (default) and I have an avenue to pursue (Articulate's zip tool vs windows).
By the way, I know I can accomplish the move with the "package" feature, but for someone else to view the course they would have to be able to republish all the modules. So I hope I get this figured out!
If you publish for web, there is actually a built in zip feature at the end of the publishing wizard which would allow you to share a published presentation. If you are planning on hosting your content online, I would consider uploading the content to a web server and sharing a link. It's easier to share a link than distribute files.
Yeah, I would very much love to share a link. It's the right way to go. Unfortunately the stakeholders are insisting on "having" the published output on the shared drive for review and/or sign-off by regulators before hand.
I am going to play with it some more and see if some combination of publishing format and zipping will solve the issue. Just odd that a sound file is causing the mess.

That is a default sound from Engage.
C:\Program Files\Articulate\Articulate Engage\sounds
Not sure why it is asking for password on expanding the zip file though.

Thanks Dwayne and Justin.

If they are viewing it offline, make sure you publish for CD and that they know how to launch the presentation via the Launch_Presentation.exe file.
