Troubleshooting If you encounter any issues:

Check that you have Microsoft PowerPoint installed and up to date. Ensure you have write permissions in the directory where you're trying to save the H5P file. Look for a ppt_to_h5p_converter.log file in the same directory as the executable. This log file may contain detailed error messages.
