Publishing to ONE Executable File
Hi,
I am using a trial of Storyline and need help and I don’t have a week to figure this out as we are trying to decide whether or not to purchase.
I am trying to publish the created project. ...
Not to argue, but for the sake of technical accuracy, this option makes me think it extracted then deleted:
"9. Tick all boxes (enable files virtualization, compress files, delete extracted on exit)"
Not that there is anything wrong with that approach, but it's is technologically nearly impossible to take a bunch of diverse files of unknown content and make them one executable file.
The bottom line is that the result does look to the end-user like one exe file that doesn't install anything. After all, that is the basis of this entire field: creating things that look to the user like what we want them to see.
I think you're right, it is viable only as a last resort.
