Note: Your antivirus may or may not give a warning.
The Windows Firewall will not interfere with it.ĥ) If desired, you could also create a shortcut that runs this same command line. For example: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 9 圆4\AdobeCaptivate.exe"ģ) Run a command prompt (CMD.exe) as an administratorįor example: psexec -i -s "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 9 圆4\AdobeCaptivate.exe"Ĭaptivate will run without complaining. You can right click on the shortcut in the program menu to find it, or navigate through your program files directories. I have found another way which doesn't require modifying any Captivate files, but rather to run it with a privileged account (SYSTEM).Ģ) Determine the path to the executable for your particular version of Captivate. Running in compatibility mode and running as adminĪbout the only thing that works is turning WinFW off, but that isn't really an option as a workaround or solution for us. Manually creating firewall exceptions for Captivate However, even after allowing it through (both through the pop up, and manually removing all prior created firewall entries and creating a new one) every time you start Captivate the popup box will visit again asking for the program to be allowed.Īdobe's ever so helpful answer to this is "you should allow it through if this pops up" as if we're a bunch of idiots who couldn't figure that much out.Īnyone that has found a workaround/solution for this please post - it would be much appreciated.
She is running Adobe Captivate 8 WS, and every time it is started up the Window's Firewall popup box comes up asking for Captivate to be allowed to run some of it's features that apparently WinFW is blocking. I am seeing this issue as well with a user here. I have looked through all the settings and can't find anything to adjust for this, except the location of the temp folders. It seems to create a new folder every time so the exception from last the session, doesn't apply. I noticed that the location in the firewall exception is buried under the users profile in a different folder every time. The only thing he did say was that the Edge Inspect Preview picks a different port every time on start up, and that there was no way to assign it to a set port. "Deep" was his name, but I think his tech experience was pretty shallow. My searches have come up with nothing and even chatted with Adobe Tech Support.
Acts the same even logged in as an admin. Every time we start Adobe Captivate 8 the generic prompt for allowing an exception in Windows firewall (Allow or Cancel) pops up and whether I Allow it or Cancel it, it will ask again upon the next start up of Captivate.
