Package in5 html into exe.

Question

What is the best solution for packaging an in5 export into an executable.  I've looked at a few options, and some of them do not translate correctly, especially when playing animations.  What is the best solution for a standalone?

There are many different options out there.

This post does a good job describing several options: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12232784/how-to-develop-desktop-apps-using-html-css-javascript

Multi-platform options (top 3 are probably the best options):

• https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell
• https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef
• http://tidesdk.multipart.net/docs/user-dev/generated/#!/guide/getting_started
• http://appjs.com/
• http://deskshell.org/
• https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/How-to-package-and-distribute-your-apps

Windows-specific examples:

For animation support, you'll want an option that runs/includes a newer browser (like Chrome).

The easiest thing to do might be to build an AIR app from Dreamweaver:
