Default search path

When Authorware runs a piece, it must be able to find the additional files, such as the libraries and drivers that it requires. Authorware does this by searching a series of folders, so placing files in one of these folders is the simplest way to make sure that Authorware finds them.

Authorware searches directories for files in the following order:

• The directory where the file was located when you first loaded it. (When the piece is packaged or the file is moved, Authorware no longer finds the file unless you tell it the file's new location.)
• The directory where the piece is located
• The directory that contains Authorware or the Authorware runtime application (Runa7w32.exe), whichever is currently running
• The Windows directory
• The Windows System directory
