Error Message: "Navigation to web page canceled"

Good Morning, Holly.

One of the most useful pointers for testing your published content is to be certain that you are performing your testing in its intended environment.

For example, if you are publishing for Web, you would need to upload the published contents to your web server for accurate testing.  If you want to test your content locally, you will need to publish for CD, then use the Launch_Presentation.exe file to launch your presentation.

It sounds like perhaps you published for CD, then uploaded the published content to your web server, which will not work.  I'd recommend publishing for Web and uploading to your web server.

Please let us know if you continue to have trouble.  Thanks!

When we publish for web our hyperlinks to PDFs on our Sharepoint server don't work. The fix that Articulate recommends is to publish to CD and run the .exe file. When we do that our hperlinks work. But our course will run on a webserver and that's where we are testing.

Thanks for the quick response, Holly.

Can you reference where we have recommended that for Sharepoint, you should publish to CD and run the EXE file?  It's hard to imagine how an EXE would function successfully from a web browser, but I've stumbled across a few other tips that might help you:

• In this Forum Post, Brian shares some tips for publishing to Sharepoint
• This thread is all about Sharepoint (although it is Storyline-specific)
• You could be bumping up against our maximum character limit of 128 characters for hyperlinks
• Have you tried adding a file attachment to the player instead of an external link?
• You will also find a Forum Thread here that discusses using an Absolute Path  to reference a file, and also points out a way that you might possibly accomplish this via an HTML Redirect.

Please let us know if you need anything else.  Thanks!

Hi,

I have been having a similar problem. I need to put the exe. file ONLY onto a USB. I have published to CD and deselected the html output options.

I need to be able to put just the exe. file onto the USB without all of the other files on it. My company has done this before but I don't know how to.

Good Morning Fiona, and welcome to Heroes!

After you've published a Presentation for CD, you must copy all of the published output to your removable media.  Presenter does not support publishing to a single file, so your published output will not work with only the .exe file.

Please let us know if you need anything else, and have a great day!
