Problem:
Product launches but displays a white screen - may also display a percentage figure in the top left - e.g. 96%
Affects:
Network installation.
Cause:
The readme file instructs that UNC shares should be used for a network installation, however the underlying Macromedia code-base changed following the release of Exploring Science Years 7 and 8, causing a failure over UNC LAN shares.
Solution:
Either distribute a shortcut to the wrapper.exe via a mapped network drive (this does not need to be a dedicated resource - it can execute from subordinate paths) - OR - install the software onto all required workstations.
Active Directory distribution can be supported with an MSI file - downloaded from > here <. Download and extract the zip file (~75KB) and follow the instructions in the included readme.
