Hi Leslie, 

I this error occurs when I click the "view presentation" button just after publishing.  I have been using Articulate for years now and have always been able to preview the course before I upload it to our LMS.  This problem only started when I installed update 2  (1402.2817).  When I uninstalled the new update and re installed the old one I was able to do this, but now I am experiencing other issues.
