				For some reason the MainPreloader file
was missing from the latest setup.
				 
				Download it again now and give it
another try,
				 
				good catch! thanks.

				The piece does not function in the
browser. I did not have in preview mode at publish.
				
				Monitoring the folder, I get the "Cannot
copy" error (apparently) at the moment the index.htm is created. It is
hard to tell if just before or just after the index.htm appears in the
folder window. After clicking OK I then get resources.swf,
XMLEngine.swf, and rloObject.js only. No MainPreloder.swf file created. 
				
				Unfortunately, I have three different
machines I've duplicated this on. Shall I try some others? I have at
least 3 or 4 more I could try. I know it is difficult to determine what
the error is when you cannot duplicate it.

				Do you have all of these files after
hitting publish:
				 
				index.htm
				rloObject.js
				XMLEngine.swf
				MainPreloader.swf
				resources.swf
				 
				Is Xerte in preview mode when you hit
publish?
				 
				I still can't reproduce it.

				I just downloaded (about 5 minutes ago)
to a Server 2003 and right click on desktop, create folder, right click
folder, new xerte file, double click to open, file->publish, get the
error. As a note- ALL have firefox as default browser, not IE

				Hi Julian,
				
				That is indeed exactly what I am doing.
I am a local administrator on the XP machine, a standard domain user on
the 2000. On both the users have full access rights to the project
folders created on the desktop. 
				
				Best regards,

				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,
				
				Bill Laakkonen
