Additional Plugins Folder - Windows 7 64bit

Since getting a new computer with 64bit Windows 7, Photoshop CS4 isn't behaving.  The additional plugins folder is checked, and no matter what plugins I have in that folder, they are not recognized.  I remember in using older versions of Photoshop, you had to download some dll that I can't remember and put it in your system folder or something for the additional plugins to show.  Is that still the case?  If so, what do I need to do?

The plugins are not installed plugins.  They are in .8bf format.  I haven't even attempted my AlienSkin or AutoFX CDs yet.  The folder for these .8bf extension plugins is not even on the same hard disk as Photoshop, so I don't see how the 32-bit version that was installed along with the 64-bit version was corrupted by them.  This doesn't make sense to me.

  • Photoshop CC Additional Plugins Folder

    Why on earth would Adobe remove the ability to point to a folder for additional plug-ins? I'm sure they will have lots of good reasons. However, the standard folder is embedded in the AppData folder in Windows. That folder resides on the system (C:) drive. I always install Plugs in a folder on a separate drive on my system (D:) so as to make it easy to manage and navigate.   Bad choice, guys.

    Because the plugins folder is just for third party plugins, and because we saw the additional plugins folder mis-used (and causing problems for the user) far more often than it was used correctly.
    Plus you can always use a shortcut to another folder from within the plugins folder.

    Thanks Larry.  I thought so.  I will do this weekend.  Again, I appreciate your help.
    Trying to get updated software – I am not a fan of the cloud stuff.  Nothing I can do about it.
    Thanks again Larry!

  • Disable Single Plugins within "Additional Plugin Folder"

    Dear Photoshoppers,
    I'm using PSCS3 for quite some time now and I often run into a problem whenever I'm using the "Additional Plugin Folder"-option...
    Every time I check out the latest trial for Photoshop and try to add the plugin folder of my primary Photoshop, the Trial Version complaints about various errors.
    So my question is:
    Is it possible to use the "Additional Plugins Folder" while simultaniously disable those single plugins of my original Photoshop that cause the trial version to complain about without deleting/deinstalling/moving those plugins in question?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    You can disable plug-ins by putting a tilde (~) in front of their name.

  • Additional Plugins folder PS CC - make a shortcut to your location

    A great start, i have used PS CS5 Extended for years and got the PS CC version last night, despite following the tutorials on Adobe all say to add additional folder as before, that is not an option in PS CC Preferences under edit - to be honest i thought allowing one custom location in the past was stingy (some 3rd party filters install where they want in program files rather than to a main plugins folder then sub folder you specify)
    I have seen mentioned by an Adobe Staff member to create a shortcut to your plugins folder, but no instruction as to how (would been the smart thing to post that instruction), so how please do i do this?

    After you complete that, you are faced with the fact its 64bit PS CC only installed by Adobe so you cannot use most plugin filters, try this below .....

    Having used Photoshop for a long time, i am surprised at having to do all this, the time wasted searching for how to do so is not funny and all Adobe PS CC manuals or pages instruct to use the extra plugins folder location as per PS CS5, I always rated you as very good before.

  • External Plugins Folder Option Missing in CC?

    After upgrading I realized I am missing some external plugins I had installed.
    Those I am missing are ones that I had in an external folder that you could set in preferences. The ability to set an Additional Plugin Folder is gone. Can I set an external plugin folder?
    Thanks!

    That does not work for TopazLabs plugins as their installer does not install the links into the proper folder in PS CC.
    I copied the appropriate links from PS CS6 to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins
    and restarted PS CC -- voila now have my four TopazLab plugins fully functioning again.

  • Cannot install xmlp plugin for word 2007 on Windows 7 64bit

    I cannot install xmlp plugin for word 2007 on Windows 7 64bit. I keep getting a "java runtime not installed" error. I have applied the latest updates to word. Is there a fix to this?

    Hi,
    Even if you use a 64bit OS, the office version could be either 32bit or 64bit. Which one do you use? If already installed a 64bit version Office, try to switch to a 32bit one, because it will work fine and might solve your problem too.

    DISM.log would make this clearer.  And using ProcMon I suspect would really make it snap out at you.   <eg>

    Unfortunately, since then others have quickly stuck a pin in this balloon, finding that it is just one more bump in the road, but at least working around this coding error should change your symptom.
    Good luck

  • Windows 7-64bit success

    I post this note to offer encouragement to those having problems that PRE7 CAN work well in Windows 7 64bit
    I finally got to do some real work in PRE7 on Windows 7 64bit and have had a trouble free experience with seemingly improved performance.
    System:
    Purchase date - January 2008. No system hardware upgrades installed since.
    Intel Processor - Quad-Core Q6600 2.40GHz
    RAM - 4.00GB
    Graphics - Nvidia 8800GT (Driver: 195.62 whql)
    Disks - Twin SATA drives 500GB each
    Windows:
    Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit, installed as a dual boot system with Vista Ultimate. All windows updates installed.
    Project:
    4:3 PAL
    28 Type 2 DV-AVI's (imported from Analog VCR to Magix Movies on DVD, then exported as DV-AVI)
    Length - 1' 35"
    Effects/Transitions: Shadows/Highlight (key framed). Dip to Black between scenes. GPU Page Curl or Page Peel for changes within a scene.
    Memory Box Theme (main menu and three scene sub-menus)
    Share:
    Burn to folder (8.5GB) (encoding time just over one hour)
    Converted to 4.7GB disk image with DVD-Shrink (I like PRE to produce it's highest quality output)
    Burnt with ImgBurn at 2.4x to Verbatim single layer disk
    My machine is not, by any means, dedicated to video processing. I also found it much harder to close memory resident processes in W7 compared to Vista. Consequently there was a fair amount of background stuff running in addition to PRE7.
    So I don't know what I'm doing right but, whatever it is, it's working. If I had to pick one of the many elements in the overall workflow that maximises success I would repeat what so many others recommend - convert all video to DV-AVI 2 first.
    I hope this provides some encouragement to those having a tough time on W7-64 to persevere.
    Good luck,
    Neale
    Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

    After my earlier success I tried something a little more ambitious – 38 DV-AVI clips totalling 2’ 50”. This proved more problematical than my first W7-64 effort but nothing that couldn’t be easily fixed.
    PROBLEM
    FIX
    I tried running PRE7 along with other major apps running. This caused a pretty quick crash to the desktop.
    Closed my XP Mode virtual machine, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and online backup program
    During rendering I got a low disk space warning – even with 85GB free.
    Created an extra 100GB of free space and defragmented.
    At one point loading my project forced PRE7 to minimise on load and could not be restored.
    Created a new, empty, project. Then opened the actual project from the File menu.
    Sound skipping- during monitor playback the sound occasionally skipped.
    Exiting and resatarting PRE fixed this.
    Occasionally it seemed as though PRE had stopped and was in a ‘not   responding’ state.
    I checked in Task Manager that PRE was still processing and went for a cup of tea! All well when coming back – patience is a virtue here.
    It seemed to me that there is a definite gap between PRE completing the burn to folder and giving the ‘burn completed’ notice.
    A burn to folder crashed at 70% with a transcoding error.
    Tricky this one. I THINK that PRE processing is not recognized by   Windows as active use. The W7-64 default power setting is to put the PC to   sleep after 30 minutes inactivity. After setting it to ‘never sleep’ my burns worked fine.
    Overall nothing too dreadful. The burn to folder time of 50 minutes (for a 2’ 50” film) was also impressive - I am sure that W7-64 is giving me better PRE performance than Vista-32.
    I actually burnt the project a few times as I kept spotting spelling mistakes in my titles! One time I forgot to change the target drive, and the project burnt to the same drive as the source files. The burn time increased from 50” to 1’ 20” – so it is definitely worthwhile having at least two physical disks.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • Cannot install iTunes on windows 7 64bit

    Okay, I like so many cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 64bit.
    Now Orginally I got a message saying something to the effect of:
    There was a problem with the install you do not have permission for something...
    Through some investigating my iTunes was being installed and removing all my permissions to view and/or modify files within that folder. Even if I was logged in as admin and installed as admin all the permissions would simply block me out.
    This kind of had a familar feeling as in the last few versions of iTunes I had to run as admin just to open it (this is really annoying by the way)
    So I searched the net and many people were saying to uninstall everything "Apple" and try again.  So I did that.  Now I have this new message:
    there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
    And again I scoured the internet for a way to fix this.  I apparently am supposed to goto Control Pannel/Programs and Features and select Apple Software Update and select repair.  The problem is that no longer exists in my programs list since I removed it in the earlier step. iTunes still refuses to install spitting out the same error forever. I tried the Microsoft "fix it" tool which is supposed to remove the Apple Software Update incomplete uninstall (which is apparently the whole problem) but it doesn't show up in the list for "fixing".
    I am at a loss.  Why doesn't Apple fix this.  I cannot update my iPhone to the latest software in fear I may need to restore it. With no iTunes that is impossible.  I cannot change any of my music or do anything until this is resolved.  If/when iPhone 5 comes out I cannot get it either unless this issue is taken care of somhow.
    I searched for an installer for just the Apple Software Update program But it seems to not exist as a standalone thing (it would be useful if it were though). If it were perhaps I could install it again and then successfully remove/repair it and iTunes might install finally.
    Now I have had previous versions of iTunes working perfectly fine.  I do not recall which version I was using before I tried to update and fell into this abyss however.

    Yes b noir. I've tried running just "iTunes64.msi" from the command-line and while it didn't produce the same error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vender." it produced a different error in bold-type "iTunes Installer Completed" then "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured...Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified...Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit". However, I discovered a wealth of options from the Windows Installer to try after typing "iTunes64.msi passive"...So I'll experiment some more when I have time.
    P.S. I'm becoming more convinced that Apple is putting new software out there to get it debugged which was a trick that MicroSoft always seemed to do:-)

  • HT1923 1/30/14  trouble with iTunes services on a Windows 7 (64bit)  OS.  deleting 'common files/apple' will not execute

    Following the support steps for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on a Windows 7 (64bit) computer, the provided bullet points for additional steps requests to uninstall 'program files (x86)/common files/apple'. 
    When attempting to delete this 'apple' folder an error message occurs saying 'the action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program'. 
    Looking in this 'apple' folder there are the folders and files for Internet Services & Windows Migration Assistant, and in sub-folders things like iCloud & Photostream, etc.  Makes sense the error would occur given this folderinstall given this situation? 
    Thanks!

    I did find MobileMe and deleted it prior to reading the support message, noticing that I likely did not need it anymore while deleting iTunes and the related programs.
    And as you were replying just now, I was able to download and install iTunes without having to return to 'commonfiles/apple' and attempt to delete it again. 
    I discovered that Adobe Bridge was open in the background, and it sent a similar 'runtime' error along with iTunes, and iTunesHelper.exe, and so I used Task Manager to end Adobe Bridge as part of the troubleshooting. 
    Seems like all is working again.
    I appreciate your support!

    Hi Pieter,
    Thanks for the hints. However, the installation still fails with the same symptom.
    I also tried it on a virtual machine that was set up with Windows XP (SP3) with no luck. Setup.exe fails to run and I cannot find anything useful in the log files that I can find.
    The virtual machines that I am using are basic installs. I install the OS, JDK 32 bit and then BI Publisher. I just want a "basic" installation. Is there something missing?
    By the way, I installed BI Publisher several years ago on a Windows XP 32 bit computer with no problems. I am trying to install this on a 64 bit computer, could this be the problem?
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Patrick

  • Adobe Type 1 Font is not compatible with Windows 8 64bit?

    I found that Adobe Type 1 fonts are not compatible with applications that run on Windows 8 64bit. When used, the appearance of fonts on the screen is not correct. Even worse, the font does not appear at all in the CorelDRAW X6. Strangely, when printed, the fonts were no problems. How can I make these fonts can be used in Windows 8 64bit? For additional information, these fonts appear normally when reviewed through the Windows Fonts folder, but does not display correctly when used in the application.

    I believe I have a similar issue. I do have the latest Windows updates.
    I'm on a new Win8 system, and I installed my Adobe type collection (bought years ago with ATM) by copying the .pfm and .pfb files to Windows\Fonts (there's no right-click > install for fonts on Win8 it seems; copying the font files to the font directory is what I've read as the install procedure.)
    Windows then shows an error about .pfb incompatibility, so I selected "skip" for those files.
    The result is that my fonts are installed and usable BUT this really screws up IE10 for certain websites. For example, I get blank pages for sites like wordpress.org and validator.w3.org. There doesn't seem to be any way to fix this other than doing a system restore to a point before the fonts were installed. Removing the font files from the Windows\Font directory doesn't help. I don't use IE10 with any regularity but I need it to work for testing purposes.
    Is there a way to install these fonts? Is there a way to uninstall them (other than a system restore) if they affect IE10?
    It's really hard to install on a one-by-one basis as need arises because I can't tell what the font names are from the file names. There's no application, like a type viewer, that will show me the fonts if I double click the file. (I just ran into this now... I need to use a Garamond type face but have no idea which one it is by looking at the .pfm and .pfb files.)
    I would consider buying Font Folio if this is the answer but it's only available for a minimum of 5 licenses? I'm a freelancer and only need one licence.
    Should I just use an online tool to convert my .pfm/.pfb files to an OpenType or similar format?
    Thank you in advance!
