Unable to import Quizmaker

Mar 14, 2013

I get the following long error when I try to import my Quizmaker file to storyline.

I get the same error even in a new .story file so it is a problem on the quizmaker side.

Screen-cap of the error attached.  

(Note: My quiz has both multiple choice and hotspot questions, could this be why?)

Hi Kayla,

The first thing I would want to check is the location of the Quizmaker file. Is the quiz file located on your local hard drive? if not, try relocating the file to your C: drive and see if you're able to import it. 

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names.

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

If the quiz file is local and you still see this error, I'm wondering if the quiz itself is possibly corrupted. Are you able to create a new Quizmaker quiz and import it successfully?
