Requirements
Instructions - If the program's EXE is located in the same folder as the e-book EXE, in one of your HTML files add the following code, replacing program.exe with the name of the program.
- If the program's EXE is located on the same drive letter but a different folder from the e-book, EXE, in one of your HTML files add the following code, replacing foldername with the name (or path to) the folder, and program.exe with the name of the program.
Notes - This script has been tested with Activ E-Book Compiler versions 4.00, 4.01, 4.20, 4.21 and 4.22 (4.22 is the latest version at the time of writing). It is possible that changes might be required for e-books made with subsequent versions.
