Abstract

Please note this code is unsupported at this time..
We are actively developing this code, there will be more instructional materials available in the future. We welcome your feed back and any bugs found. We are just not guaranteeing any level of support at this time.

nanoWind has a critical system privilege bug for its updating mechanism. We have fixed this bug after version 3.1.1 build 4. If you are running nanoWind on Windows Vista or later and nanoWind shows errors while updating, please download the installer executable file and do a fresh install on top of the old version. Sorry about the inconvenience,

nanoWind is a Microsoft Office 2007 plugin designed to generate scripts for HUBpresenter using Final Cut XML, PowerPoint voice-narration or Adobe Presenter Project(aka. Breeze).

  • Please make sure you have Internet connection and system administrator privilege while installing.
  • Please download the installer file by clicking on "Download (EXE)" button to the right.

 

 

Update
