Hi Steve,

I'd go through the full repair as detailed here (the first link Wendy shared) as it sounds like something occurred with your install of the update. 

*wipes virtual sweat from brow* Okay, did all that. No dice. Same behavior. Interestingly, I got the exact same behavior at each step along the way--after clean install, after turning the features of .Net 3.5.1 on that were not already on, and after a clean re-install of Flash player.

Hi Steve

do you want to load up the .story file and I'll see if I get same behaviour with that actual file.  I am on SL1.08.  If I can publish what format do you want it published in. 

Hi Steve,

We've heard some recent reports of users having difficulty publishing, and it just freezing - so as Wendy mentioned we're happy to try out your file here as well. For those users who have had difficulty, it seems to be solved after they try to publish the file a second time (and not making any additional changes to the publish settings). If you'd like to share the .story file we can take a look or feel free to send it along to us here. 

For this specific project, I need to post the course to be playable from a free-standing website directory as a demo/resource. I can't get this to work with the output I previously published for web; the player loading icon just whirls. I suspect that changing the top level folder name breaks internal links, but I don't really know why this isn't working. For that project, I am trying to figure out how I can name the course what it needs to be named, while having the output files bear a much shorter name with no spaces or special characters.

The big issue, though, is that now I can't get any courseware to publish.

Hi Steve,

If elements are not publishing and you've already done the repair, we'd want to look into where you're publishing (ensure it's a local drive, well under the 260 character file path limit, and no special characters, etc in file name or path) and any other items recently installed on your system that could be interfering with the publish behavior. 

I can't assist with any changes you've made to the published output - but when I publish a Storyline file, I see a folder created that matches the name I included here: 

But the files with the folder are more generic in terms of story.html. When you're placing the content within the intended web environment are you using the entire folder? You'll need all the contents generated to upload those to your web server - but if you've changed the file names that may be interferring with the publish files. 

Hi Steve,

I also just saw that you sent your file in - so I'll be taking a look at that and replying there. 

I changed only the top level folder name in which the contents are located,
before uploading it to the web server.

So: www.learningsim.com\content\12secrets\story.html

Instead of: www.learningsim.com\content\12 Secrets of Effective Trainers
web output\story.html

For example.

No changes to anything underneath that output folder, just changing the
folder name and uploading it into the \content web folder.

*scratches head*

Hi Steve, 

When you reply via email your signature is included, so you may want to edit the post if you'd like to remove that information. 

The first link you shared actually opened up for me and I was able to view the course within Chrome. Is that the one that doesn't play for you?
