Hi

Can someone give me an answer, is it possible to run GWD without an internet connection, and how to do it?

Hi Svein-Tore,

Offline is not supported. There is no offline installer. However, if you have internet connection when you install Google Web Designer and launch it, you might be able to run it offline after.

Hi San!

Well, I have tested a bit.  If I start GWD with internet conenction, and then turn the internet connection off after GWD has started, then  I can run it off line.

My problem is as follow: I'm a tecaher ,and I'm planning to let my students use GWD on the exam.  But, on the exam they are not allowed to use internet:(  

I have seen it is possbible to run GWD with a proxy sever. What does that mean? Will I then be able to run GWD without internet connection?

Hi Svein-Tore,

When offline, GWD is running off the cache on the local disk which was created on the first launch with the internet connection. Have you tried launching GWD without internet connection after it has already been launched before so the cache exists?

If someone has a proxy server on their machine, there are some settings they might need to do to get Google Web Designer to run on that machine. It has nothing to do with offline.

Thanks,

Hi San!

I have tried what you said, if I start GWD WITH internet connection, and then close GWD, switch off internet, then GWD won't launch.

Any suggestions?
