Creating Clean Standalone CD-ROM Executables

The standard Windows CD ROM deployment on imo.hravatar.com works, however, the size of the window that opens is not exactly the same as the IMO. To correct this, you can take the following steps. The result is a more professional-looking experience when someone starts the IMO from a CD-ROM or Memory stick or someone's computer.

1. Download the standalone flash player program and save to a handy directory on your computer:
https://cfmedia.clicflic.com.s3.amazonaws.com/web/misc/flashplayer/flashplayer_10_sa_debug.exe

2. Perform a Windows CD Rom deployment of the IMO on http://imo.hravatar.com.

3. Unzip the zip file to a folder on your computer.

4. Do a Standalone Flash-Only deployment of the IMO on http://imo.hravatar.com.

5. Unzip the flash-only deployment to a different folder on your computer.

6. Execute the flash player program from Step 1 above by double-clicking and load the player.swf from the Flash-Only deployment in folder from Step 5 above (File -> Open -> browse to directory and choose player.swf).

7. Choose create projector from file menu and enter G2CDFlashPlayer.exe as the name of the projector file. This should create a file in the directory from Step 5 called G2CDFlashPlayer.exe.

8. Copy this new G2CDFlashPlayer.exe file to the directory from Step 3. This should overwrite an existing file. Be sure to replace the file.

9. Zip the files in directory from Step 3 above being sure NOT to include any absolute or relative path information in the zip file.  You can use Zip Genius (free download) to do this.

10. The newly zipped file can be loaded into a directory or CD-ROM and will play on windows computers with no other software required.
