32bit? 64bit? English? Slovenian?
I tested the latest Xerte 2.18 from the Nottingham Xerte website and
installed it on a 64 bit Dutch Windows 7 PC.
The languages folder is copied when packaging/publishing the learning
object.
I tried:
1. Publish from the wizard (in a template (.rlt) project)
Package from the wizard
Publish from the Xerte editor
All methods that I tried correctly created a languages folder for me.
Can you specify how you try to publish your Learning object?
Can you try to install xerte as an administrator, i.e. right-click the
setup and choose 'Run as administrator'?
I suspect that some of the files of the languages folder actually ended
up in the windows 7 Virtual Files store in stead of in the Program Files
folder.
