Publish to EXE fails in Captivate

Publish to exe fails in Captivate. Read the workaround and our recommendation.

Issue

In Adobe Captivate, if you publish your project as an executable, the exe doesn’t run. But when you click the exe file, you see an icon related to Flash.

This happens because both Flash and Flash Player have been deprecated. For more information, see this blog.

Workaround

Publish your project as MP4. But in an MP4 output, you may lose all interactions. If you only want to see the output without any interactions, then we recommend publishing to MP4.
