No luck at all on Firefox or Chrome (only IE 8+ seems to like the HTA extension) so perhaps not the right fix after all (it's for running in a prison, hence restricted internet access, plus I don't know how up to date their browsers are).

There's no option to select 'local export' btw, I just went to Export in the Project Properties and clicked Zip Export, and it spits out a zip file.

try it on a different browser just to be sure it's not cached and stuff

Did you select "local export" in XOT when you exported - I can make
the export produce a HTA if better? / Alternative?
