I made a personal E-learning project with Captivate that I’d like to share with people. Its about 60 MB. Ideally I’d like to host the file on a personal website and make it downloadable, or something like that. However,
-I don’t have a work/ school LMS

-Sending it via email often gets rejected

-I tried creating an amazon server but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Bonjour,
Quelqu’un saurait me dir pourquoi lorsque j’essaie d’ouvrir mon captivate (j’ai un abonnement mensuel) je ne peux pas et reçois un message d’erreur comme celui ci: “n’est as conçu pour s?exécuter sous Windows où il contient une erreur…”
Il fonctionnait avant et toujours sous Windows.

Merci pour votre aide, bonne soirée!

Hi Rosa,

Sorry to hear about the issue you are facing while launching Adobe Captivate.

Can you please share the screenshot of the error message you get while launching Captivate?

Regards,
Mayank
