Hi! I am no longer experiencing this, as it took a long time troubleshooting with Articulate Support and our IT department. Turns out, Windows Media Player (Legacy version) was not installed. Try checking and installing that to see if that fixes the issue. That did it for me!

    As a follow-up, Articulate are investigating how they can disassociate this technology from relying on WMP. I don't have any further knowledge of that, but thought I'd drop that note.
