[Xerte] Error at Publish- version 1.9

[Tenney Julian]

Thanks for the feedback.
 
I can't replicate the error. If you make a new folder on your desktop,
right click in it and create a new RLO, double click it to open it in
Xerte and choose File -> Publish, do you still get the error?

	Hi Guys,
	
	First off - I must say I am delighted to use this wonderful
tool. It is a huge head-start for creating accesible learning content
and I had no trouble creating some basic content straight away. It is
exciting to see such a useful tool offered to the world to freely use.
Great work and documentation rivals many commercial works. 
	
	I unfortunately must report an error I am experiencing upon
attempts to publish my own files as well as example files downloaded
from the Xerte site. When I go to File->Publish I get the following
error:
	
	A dialog box labeled "Error Copying  File or Folder" with the
message "Cannot copy file: Cannot read from source file or disk" with a
Button labeled "OK" followed immediately by a dialog box titled
"pcd_test.rlo" (one of the file names) with the message "Publish
Complete. All files for web deployment created"  and a Button labeled
"OK" 
	
	When I look into the associated project folder, it appears the
template file was copied (as it is from the program directory). I have
not modified the template files.
	
	I looked at the list archives and did not see any other posts
regarding this. I have not used a previous version of Xerte on any
machine here. 
	
	Here is what I am using to produce this error with Xerte Version
1.9:
	
	Windows XP SP2 with IE7.0 and Flashplayer 9
	
	I also attempted this on another workstation here with the same
result:
	
	Windows 2000 SP4 with IE6.0 and Flashplayer 9
	
	Both workstations are part of a Server 2003 Windows domain. Both
have Office Professional 2003. 
	
	Please let me know if I've left off any details you guys may
further need to help me resolve this issue. Or have I missed a
pre-requisite somewhere? 
	
	May I suggest you consider a couple of additions to the error
and publish dialogs?
	
	It may be easier to diagnose such an error in the future should
the "error copying file or folder" dialog box be modified to contain the
names of files and folders that have failed to copy. It also may be
helpful for new users should the box with the "Publish Complete..."
message explicitly refer to the path and files created (or not) in the
publish process. 
	
	Once again, I enjoy using this marvelous tool as far as I've
been able to use it. I hope this error is something simple that I have
missed and I look forward to resolving this with your help.
	
	As another suggestion it would be nice to see the program
requisites and recommendations for OS and associated programs listed on
the web site; or have I missed the listings? 
	
	Thanks and best regards,
