I have a PowerPoint presentation that I'm trying to expand to use Presenter 13 with videos, etc. I inserted videos, some transitions and then after previewing, tried to Publish. It seemed to publish successfully, but when I tried to launch after publishing, I got "Method 'Title' not supported by automation object." So I decided to just create a new presentation, with one slide and a video to start and see if I got a different behavior. No dice. I removed the video, and still the same error. If I navigate to the Launch_Presentation.exe, I get the same error. Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? I've attached a screen print of the error.
Are you trying to view the content from the Publish Successful dialog window? What happens if you upload to the intended environment first? Are you able to view the content then?
Yes, I'm creating a "CD", and when it gives me success, launching from there gives me that error. If I go directly to the created folder and click on "Launch_Presentation.exe", I get the same error, and then it brings up the folder in Windows Explorer after I click "OK".
OK, thinking it might be something in how it was created, I decided to use the P13 tutorial practice files as a template. I built it on my production drive. ERROR! - but of course it had worked fine on my personal drive. So, I went back to my presentation - what I sent you didn't include the video, so I added the video back. When I built it on my personal area, it worked. If I copied the successful build to my production drive, it played, but the video didn't display and I didn't get any sound from the video (yet it rain for the entire length of the video). If I build it as web on my production environment, it is successful, but again, no video and no sound.
I imagine you won't be able to duplicate my error, so at some point when I want it web based I'll have to debug with my system support.

Hi Pierre and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

Thanks for the details Pierre :)
Sure. Thanks! I zipped the output and also attached the .pptx and .ppta...

Ah, well glad you beat me to that testing Pierre :) Glad you are getting down to the bottom of it.
