Error reading map file - invalid file version

[Brian Walls]

I have an NT 4 / IIS web server and win95 / IE 4 clients. I attempted to
package an Authorware 5 file for the Intranet, the player appears to install
on the client, but always end up with the following error:

Error reading the Authorware Web Player map file.
Invalid file version http:// <server path> /winapi.u32

I have placed the winapi.u32 in the same directory as the segments and the
following map file:

ver 0 5
get .
put DOWNLOAD
seg all stan0000.aas 0 16213
seg all stan0001.aas 16213 14390
seg all stan0002.aas 30603 16012
seg all stan0003.aas 46615 12655
seg all stan0004.aas 59270 15700
seg all stan0005.aas 74970 15808
put .
bin win16 "winapi.ucd" "winapi.ucd"
bin win32 "winapi.u32" "winapi.u32" length=182784
# HTML_PARAMS: WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=450 BGCOLOR=0000D0
opt all BypassSecurityDialog=FALSE
opt all UniqueID=59809765

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try renaming the winapi.u32 on the server to be winapi.aab and change the bin
line in the .aam file to be something like
bin win32 "winapi.aab" "winapi.u32" length=182784
On IIS, .u32 means something to the server and the server can try to run that
file instead of just downloading it.

Brian:

Open your map file and double click on the line with the winapi.u32.
Delete the length information and save the file. Put the new .aam up
on your server and it should work fine.

Cheers,
Jeff
