# Publishing movies as standalone (EXE) files

You can create a standalone, executable file (EXE) of your Captivate movies. This publishing option also enables you to create a Linux Projector file (EXE) and a Macintosh Projector file (HQX).

#### To publish a movie as an EXE file:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the File menu, select Publish.

3. In the Publish dialog box, select Standalone.

4. In Movie Title, enter the desired name without the file extension (EXE).

5. In Folder, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the folder.

6. In File type, select the type of EXE file to create: Windows executable, Macintosh executable, or Linux executable.

7. Select from the following output options:

   Zip files: This option creates a ZIP file containing the EXE file. (A program like WinZip can be used to open the files.)

   Full screen: This option opens the EXE file in full screen mode.

   Note: If you select AICC output options and scoring, you cannot select the Full screen option during the export process because AICC output uses framesets.

   Generate autorun for CD: This option ensures that the output file runs automatically when the EXE file is placed on a CD.

8. The Movie information area displays useful statistics about the movie including the size (resolution), number of slides, audio information, eLearning details, and the playback control assigned to the movie. To change many of the options listed in this area, click Preferences.

9. When you are done, click Publish.
