Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3 r139 has encountered a problem

Question

I have one particular user that cannot get into the web meetings using Acrobat Connect Add-in. We can log her on with any other PC with no problems. Something on this PC is hanging up.
She gets to the login screen and can log in and accept the agreement...then in IE, nothing happens. If I try to use Firefox, we get the following error:
"Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3 r139 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I have tried the following solutions:
- Uninstalled/re-installed Flash
- Uninstalled/re-installed Adobe Connect Add-in
- Made sure Windows updates were current
- Deleted all temp files and cache
- Re-installed IE 8.
The problem is obviously not browser specific and appears to be with the actual Connect Add-in. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions?

Answer 1

can you expand on what you mean by "nothing happens"  does any 2nd window launch (connectAddin)?  is IE8's popup blocker on or any popup blocker?  is the other computer configured the same as the computer that does not work?
you dont state which windows or flash version (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html) is in use by the client or what your Adobe Connect version is or if the server is doing SSL.  if you are not sure what version you have, append version.txt to your connectserver url.
example http://myconnect.mydomain/version.txt
and how the client is connecting to your connect server,  is your server behind a firewall, is their client behind a firewall.  if they are behind a firewall is there company ports open for RTMP ports.
also I dont have a quick fix for you but some troubleshooting tips
you stated that they removed the ConnectAddin from the add/remove programs but you may also need to check to make sure it was removed
#connectaddin location, can remove the connectaddin folder, once you reinstall the new it will recreate the connectaddin folder
win7: C:\Users\{userid}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\connectaddin
winXP: C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\connectaddin
to test and capture log info from the connectaddin, must create the mms.cfg
Connectaddin log folder, the file name will start with connectaddin-{current_date_time}.log
win7: C:\Users\{userid}\Documents\
winXP: C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\My Documents\
#for winXX
#c:\windows\system32\mms.cfg
SingleLogFile=0
PlayerLogging=1
flashlogging=true
have them send you the logs to review you may also need to review the connect debug.log around the same timeframe, are you seeing anything odd.
after the testing make sure you have them comment out the lines in the mms.cfg, otherwise it will create a new file everytime they access a connect meeting room.
you can append ?mode=xml to the meeting URL. this will give you some detailed info within the browser. like which application server they are connected to and other info.
you could have the user try accessing the meeting room without the connect add-in, the addin is only required for that person to share.   just add ?launcher=false to the end of the meeting url, this will force the meeting room to display within the browser and just use the flash player.
