    URGENT

    Dear All,
    I am converting an existing presentation in PowerPoint to a CBT. How can I Package it so that it runs where PPT is Not installed.
    I am including MSPPT90.OLB with the package but at runtime it says that 'ActiveX Compnonet cannot create object'

    If you are using a reference to PowerPoint in your project you need to make sure that PowerPoint is installed on the destination machine (that's the whole idea of a reference). If the users don't have PowerPoint then you'll have to convert the presentation to a different format and display it that way (D/HTML would be my recommendation - a lot of work, but it should be relatively easy to build some kind of template framework).

    I noticed in PowerPoint that it has an option to 'Save to HTML' - I've never used PowerPoint before, but I'd imagine that's where you would start. Then either compile the HTML pages that it creates into a help-file, or write a vb program using the WebBrowser control or just view the pages with IE.

    I'd use DHTML to implement some of the 'wizzy' effects that powerpoints can give you (although this isn't to be taken lightly - DHTML varies between browsers and is a *big* subject).
