Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Missing required plugins.BrS pencil tool/will not open program

Hi!
We hve downloaded a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5 and we are not able to open it. We followed Step 1 and Step 2 and then opened up the Zip version.I also have Windows Vista Home Premium Copyright 2007.
Would anyone know how I can access it?

Reinstall the app with proper admin privileges and also do run it that way. Sounds very much liek mundane permissions issues where some things don't get installed and/or the program cannot establish its user-specific configuration...

Thank you for your help, I am not an expert and shall appreciate your suggestions on this forum.

CRASHES AT START UP -MISSING REQUIRED PLUGIN - BRS PENCIL TOOL

Can someone please help with this? I dont know what I did, but the BRS Pencil Tool plug in is missing from the illustrator filters in the plug in folder, and now I cant get illustrator to start. Illustrator goes through the start up process and at the end I get an error message saying "Missing required plug ins" "BRS pencil tool" and then Illustrator crashes. After that the "Crash Report" pops up. I've done a search for the missing file on my computer and nothing comes up. If I uninstall and reinstall will that fix the problem? And if I do reinstall will my previous CS2 work be safe? I tried to call Adobe, but since I don't have the serial number they refuse to help. Thanks Adobe!

If you are getting a message about the BRS pencil tool and you are using Windows Vista or XP, you may be missing an important font. For Vista users you are missing the Segoe-UI font. For XP users you are missing the Tahoma font. These fonts need to be installed on your system in order for Illustrator, Flash, Photoshop and InDesign to launch. Most of the other applications will give you a generic "application has stopped working" error when trying to launch.
Also, another clue is located inside the Event Viewer. For vista users, click on your start button and in the search area type "event", the event viewer will show in the results area, click on it and then click on "windows logs", then click on "application". For XP users, click Start, then Run and type "eventvwr" and hit enter, then click on "Application". By double-clicking on an error you will see the description for the problem. If the faulting module shows AdobeOwl.dll, you are most likely missing the font. You can do a google search for the font and they are available for download.

Opening my Adobe Illustrator CC App yields dimmed menus and files will not open?

This has happened in the last few hours. I have updated the app through the cloud. I also have Illustrat. 5.1 and 6 and they exhibit the same behavior. The other cloud apps I have downloaded are fine. I truly need help. This is very bad. I am operating Mac OS 10.9.3 and use a Mac Pro. I have the same OS on my iMac and the AI CC works fine apparently. I need this fixed somehow.

Error loading plugins brs pencil tool | cc | Illustrator 2014

Hello there,
I use Illustrator cc 2014, and recently when I open the application, there will be a pop up with "error loading plugins brs pencil tool". I click continue, and the pencil tool is completely missing from my tool bar. I wanted to know what would be the best way to fix this? I have tried updating the software and it says "failed to update, error u44m1p7". I don't want to mess around with any of the plugins manually as I know there has to be a certain way they are placed and installed, and I'm not sure what the right way is. If someone has had to remove and add a plugin before and knows how that info would be helpful.
Thanks for any help,
-Laura

Laura,
You may consider a reinstallation using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

when I click ok, it gives me this:
and after clicking ok: Adobe Illustrator CS5 has stopped working...
how to fix it? I have already tried this http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331889.html but anything there was helpful

Just re-install wont help.
You need to:
1) uninstall AI with the oprion checked to remove preferences in uninstall options screen(This is important, you need to check the option otherwise you may have to do it again.)
2) go to C:\Program Files\Adobe and delete the left over Adobe Illustrator CS5 folder
3) Install AI again. now go ahead and launch AI.
Thanks,

Adobe CS4 Indesign plugins missing when installed on brand new MacBook Pro. How can I get these missing plugins? Indd. files will not open

Please Help!
Adobe Chat doesnt deal with old products
Apple Genius Bar says to talk to Adobe.
HAD a 2008 MacBook Pro with Adobe CS4 installed
now have a brand new MacBook Pro (and used my time machine to back up from my old mac) and when trying to open InDesign files - gives a list of plugins that are missing and will not open the document.
I'm a graphic designer- so this is not an option..
Please Help!

You can install Adobe Programs ONLY from the originals installer which is provided from Adobe. Time Machine (which is a form of migration) will not result in working Adobe programs. As Bob said, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which is also working for CS versions, to wipe out everything from Adobe and start with a clean installing.
I am not sure, if CS4 is running on Maverick, at least it is not supported officially, your are here alone. It might be so that you have to upgrade your software to a later version.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 Missing tools... Live bucket tool

Im missing the live paint bucket tool in illustrator CS5, PLEASE HELP! Look at the image below!

Next time you don't have to go to your Keyboard Shortcuts to find out where the different tools are. Some tools are hidden beneath others. Where you see a small arrow like thing (called a tear-away icon) at the bottom-right of a tool, it means there are other tools lying beneath it. Press & hold on a tool having a tear-away icon to reveal other tools. Eg.,

Illustrator CS5 Changing dot lpi and angle dialog box not opening

Hello! I am having trouble with Illustrator CS5 changing the dot lpi and angle. I have my problem typed out below the image. Please help if you can! Thank you!

You could also save yourself a lot of work by creating an ink template .ait with all of the angle/frequency values preset.
1) Simply create a new document, size the artboard to your typical size and create a series of color chips (squares) each colored with one of your typical inks. It looks like you're doing t-shirt seps so you probably have about 20 or so inks you use all the time.
2) Go into the print settings and set all of their angle and frequency values and click done.
3) Choose File->Save As Template (you can delete the color chips if you want at this point, the swatches will remain)
Now whenever you start a new document, choose File -> New From Template
Any new artwork you create can be colored with the existing swatches and you'll find the angle / frequency settings are already set.
Any forum posts links send to my twitter @ask_illustrator will be answered at the forum and via twitter.

Updated iMac to Yosemite. Now when in LR5 and try to edit photo in PS CS5 I get error 15 and it will not open. I've uninstalled PS and reinstalled it but still get the same error. Any thoughts out there.

I just upgraded my iMac to Yosemite. Now when in LR5 and try to edit a photo in PS CS5 I get error message 15. It says to uninstall and reinstall PS CS5. Done that and error is still there. I can open PS outside of LR but not inside. Any thoughts?

The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.
