See the complete system requirements for Captivate 2017 to make sure your computer is ready before proceeding with installation.
You do not need to uninstall previous versions of Captivate; some users prefer to keep the older, familiar version(s) around as they come up to speed with the new product’s features, and some folks even have five different versions of Cp installed all on the same computer.
You can easily convert a free 30-day trial installed on your computer to an unrestricted version by purchasing the software and entering the serial number.
We suggest using a browser other than Internet Explorer to download the files above. They can be quite large and IE has been known to drop the extension (like “.exe”) from the Windows filename. If this happens and you can’t open a file, then just rename it to add back the extension. But generally, using Firefox or Chrome will work better – and if you have any issues getting the downloads to work with one browser, then try another.

It’s OK, I worked it out!
Yes, on Windows you need both File 1 and File 2 downloaded onto your computer, in the same folder. Then just double-click/run the File 1 (.exe) to install Adobe Captivate 10.
Glad to hear you got it sorted!
Can’t install – It wants adobe support advisor!
