[Xerte] Having problems with Xerte 2.10 not opening xml file

I also have found issues with 10.1 but am currently unsure whether the
culprit is the Flash player, or Zinc - my issues have surfaced with
Xerte 3.0. All Xerte 2 stuff, to my knowledge, is working OK in both
browsers with 10.1.

Please report any issues so we can get a handle on this.

Did you manage to fix it? Is it some character in the path that makes
this particular project fail? Something like that? If you move it
elsewhere does it work?

Not sure I phrased my thought correctly.

"But other courses that also read a setup.xml file structured the same
way, and with the same property line for the .rlo file, work just fine
in both IE and Firefox. I've tried replacing the xml file with another
from a working course, and also with just a bare-bones xml file, but it
makes no difference."


So, is it a security/permissions issue with that specific directory?

That's what I meant by moving the problem file to a directory with a
course that works, as indicated in the quote.

But don't feel lonely. Today I had a course that worked in FF and IE
until I upgraded the Flash player, then all I got was a white box.

So I believe the Flash player is the issue.
Something security/permissions related.

It's actually quite ironic.
By going the panic route to get a mobile compatible player out there,
they just proved Job's point: Bloated, buggy crap.
But that's Adobe's trademark.
