App Error requires Shockwave Player 11?

Hello,
I made a standard Mac projector and published it. On my
desktop all works dandy, however when I burn it to a CD I get this
Application Error;
This application requires Shockwave Player 11, which can not
be found. Click on OK to download it.
First off I'm confused since I chose the Standard projector
and Not the Shockwave in the Publishing settings. Second it plays
fine until it's burned to a CD.
Any help would be great!
Thanks a bunch. :o)>

Hello Sean,
So I tried what you suggested and still same issue. So I
went and downloaded the Shockwave11 anyway and now I get a new
error. The dreaded 'Unable to load movie playlist. Does the INI
file exsist? It must contain a section '(Movies)' with an entry
'Movies01=pathname.dir'.
I know something is missing on the burned CD, I just don't
know what.
I located the INI files and included them with the burn but
they aren't recognized. (they are grey'd out on CD) I don't
remember having this much difficulty making the transition from
Director 9 to 10. Starting to wish I would have stuck with 10 after
all these issues.
Any Ideas?

Director won't work on OS X: "This application requires Shockwave Player 11"

Taking a Macromedia Director project and upgrading to Adobe Director (needing to upgrade for several reasons), I found that the published app no longer works on OS X. The error message appears as follows:
"Application Error
This application requires Shockwave Player 11, which can not be found. Click OK to download it."
In console:
Error loading /(path)/my.app/Contents/Frameworks/IMLLib.framework/IMLLib: dlopen(/(path)/my.app/Contents/Frameworks/IMLLib.framework/IMLLib, 262): no suitable image found. Did find: /(path)/my.app/Contents/Frameworks/IMLLib.framework/IMLLib: unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x58 0x53 0x79 0x6D 0x0A
I made sure that it was being published as a projector, and not as a shockwave. I also tried publishing to an HFS filesystem as opposed to local to an ntfs system (I'm running Adobe Director on Vista). Oddly enough, when I originally ran this project on an XP machine (now deceased) this issue did not occur.
Thanks in advance to any help anyone can give!

This sounds very much like what started happening with my Director-based apps. Perhaps something in that forum thread will help or at least shed a clue, but if anyone comes up with a surefire fix for this, I and my customers would love to hear it.

Stub requires Shockwave player?

While testing my stub projector on a new machine I have come accross the 'This application requires Shockwave Player 11, which can not be found. Click on OK to download it' application error. With the stub projector does the user need the shockwave player? Is there any way round this?

I thought for sure you'd see my post to you in the Verisign thread from two days ago where you first asked this question... the list of dll's in my post are the ones you need.
Yes I saw that thanks. It seems to have done the trick.
I re-posted the question here because I thought the issue was not appropriate for the 'Lingo' section.

TS3274 I have the original iPad- 18 mos old. I tried to download an app that required flash player. Went to the apple store and was told to update my software to iOS 5.1.1. I did and now everything I had previously installed as apps are frozen. :( HELP!

I have the original iPad- about 18 mod old. I tried to download an etool program and it required iflashplayer. My iPad wouldn't do it. I went to the apple store and they told me to update my software to iOS 5.1.1 which I did . Now none of the apps I had installed prior to this work. The icons are still on my screen but when you touch them, it just blinks and nothing happens..like the screen is frozen. How do I restore all of these apps and favorites that I had on prior to this update? Please speak in very non- tech terms if possible. I am VERY low tech unfortunately!

Shockwave player error popup when closing FF

Couple of weeks ago upgraded to 4.0.1. Ever since, when exiting I get a popup error about Shockwave player. I have no shockwave player add on. Any ideas?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Shockwave player for WinXP x64

Not a lot of things seem to require Shockwave player except jigsaw puzzles. For a long time I thought there was a site problem with msnbc.com regarding their jigsaw puzzle page in that there was never a puzzle displayed and no error messages as to why not. After several emails with their tech support I went to adobe.com and downloaded the latest Shockwave player and installed it. The result was then an error message about the player.
Turns out the only way I could get the puzzles to work was by going to oldapps.com and downloading an older version of Shockwave player (10.3.0.24). Now the puzzles display, but regularly I get notifications that a new version of the player is available. My browser shows that the plugin for Shockwave player needs to be updated as well. When I go to a site that tests the Shockwave player, it fails with any newer version of the player.
To further add to the problem, some sites that offer jigsaw puzzles apparently test to see if I have the latest version of the Shockwave player and pop-up an error notice.

Since this is a "Discussion" forum, my only question is what don't you understand about "Discussion"? The post was merely information sharing for XP x64 users of Shockwave Player.

Unable to Install Macromedia Shockwaver Player

I have installed Macromedia Shockwaver Player before without
any problems. However, when I tried to install it on my laptop
computer with Windows 2000 Professional, it got an error while it
was installing. The error states "Could not load the DLL library
C:\WINNT\system32\Kernel32.dll (GetSystemWow64DirectoryA). The
specified procedure could not be found." Now, I have just installed
Shockwave the day before on this very same computer with everything
the same on it. I had to reformat my hardrive and reinstall
Windows, but again, I did the reformat and reinstall couple times
before and installed Shockwave Player without having run into this
problem. I'd like anyone to suggest what the problem might be and
help me resolve it.

Well, Adobe obviously has done all their versions of
Shockwave Player to not support Win2k any more, because it was just
last week I was able to visit sites that requires Shockwave Player
without getting the DDL error. Now, I'm not able to either install
or visit sites that requires Shockwave. The following is what I
requested of Adobe and got from them and then requested again:

I find the response from Samuel really useless. To start
with, I am pretty sure that this problem is due to Adobe's fault,
for I hav
e successfully able to install and use Adobe Shockwave just a
week ago. Now this new problem started occuring late last week, and
I
have posted my problem on Adobe's Shockwave forum. One can
visit it at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?
forumid=44&catid=185&threadid=1328948&enterthread=y
. As someone who reads, it was just not me who was having the
problem, and I was
able to make the conclusion that Adobe has suddenly stopped
support for any Windows OS prior to XP. However, that forum is only
vis
isted by web users who are not really able to solve specific
problem except maybe at giving some pointers. Now Mr. Samuel V. has
als
o given me links to Shockwave FAQ and Shockwave Player
Support Site. I want to now emphasize that I have visited both
those sites an
d read thoroughly the contents there, but was unable to solve
my current problem, and that was why I made a contact Customber
Servic
e. As for Samuel's help, I kindly appreciate. However, I am
displeased at this response since it does get me anywhere near my
soluti
on. I hope he or someone would kindly contact Adobe for
someone who can help in getting this solved. Since he has given me
an ID num
ber, Adobe staffs can easily view my original issue,
furthermore, I hereby have given the link to the Shockwave forum
page where I p
osted my original problem and where others are having the
same issue. For now, I wait for a satisfactory reply from anyone
who is wi
lling to help.
Sincerely,

Shockwave Player malfunction

Shockwave Player is installed and up to date, in fact, I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times to try and resolve the issue. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Firefox and/or IE I've tried both and it works with neither one. I cannot open any game, including the solitaire games that came loaded in 'Windows. To read Google news is a challenge, each time I try to open an article, hence page, I get the error message: "Shockwave player may be busy or may have stopped working", when I click 'stop' I can then for a few seconds scroll to read the article then the error message returns so I have to continually repeat the procedure. How do I fix this problem to alleviate frustration levels?

Are you CERTAIN the error message says
"Shockwave player may be busy or may have stopped working"
and not "Shockwave Flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plug now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete." If the latter then you should search before asking your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Prevent shockwave player from trying to install 3rd party software?

I am a sysadmin for a relatively small-ish enterprise (around 50-ish PCs). We have scripts which push out shockwave player to all our systems but when a user loads a page which requires shockwave, they get a UAC prompt because the player is trying to install 3rd party software (usually Google Chrome browser). How do I stop this from happening? Is there a command line argument I can set (preferable method) or some other centrally-managed method for turning this off? Thanks in advance.
M

I guess I am not explaining myself very well.
I am currently using the EXE full installer from the distribution page. The installation works very well and I can get it to run in "silent" mode to avoid interaction with the user. Once the installation finishes, and I load a web page which requires Shockwave player, I get prompted at that point to download/install Chrome. That is the part I would like to know if it's possible to stop, because all our users are getting UAC prompts and it's always because Shockwave wants to run some installer after loading. I had hoped that going to the distribution version (as opposed to the straight download from the Adobe.com home page) would resolve this but they seem to be the same version, which makes me wonder why I bothered to sign up for it in the first place.

Getting error message when trying to run Shockwave Player Setup

Why do I keep getting app error messages saying to download SW Player 10

After downloading
Shockwave player 10 at Adobe's suggestion, I now constantly get an application error
stating "This application requires SW Player 10 which is not installed. Click OK to down
load" In fact, I downloaded it and now have downloaded the newer 11 version.
I tried to do a restore point and I can't get a restore point to take. This error message keeps po
pping up when I try to restore point?

Thank you for that information, Sean - I never knew what the difference between the slim and full installer was.

Why is D11.5 Mac App Standard Projector asking for Shockwave Player 11?

I have created an exam study aid for my students with D11.5 and have turned it into a Windows exe and an App for the Mac users. I selected no compression in the Projector Settings and selected player type: Standard on the Projector tab. On some student computers the Mac App is asking them to download Shockwave Player 11. First of all, I created the Mac projector with no compression or Shockwave and so why is it asking the student to download the player. Second, even when they download and install the new Shockwave Player, which is up to version 12 now, it still complains that they need to download the player and the App will not play. What do I have to do to fix this so my students with Macs can use my exam aid? Please help!

This maybe a little off the subject... but here is how I bypass the 'requires Shockwave 11' bug! - while building my hybrid CD's.
I build the master cd image on my MAC...
For some strange reason - my cd rom burning software, turns my working director made mac.app into a 'requires Shockwave 11' bug? - if I make an .iso image???
So this is how I get around it...
Create the director app + all the support files.
run the 'BURN' cd rom authoring software!
set to DATA & <Mac + PC> format
Name the CD
Now place all the files across into 'BURN'
burn the cd (DON'T make or save an image!)
close burn
test the cd (on both mac and windows)
< Make sure that the shockwave 11 bug is missing!!! >
if the CD works… How to make the master image!!!
use the copy function within the burn software to save an image file!
drag the cd over to burn - then hit save - not burn!
save the image
a (DCD/CD-R Master Image) .cdr format
this will now be the master image for making cd's
if the CD does not work...
using the mac disk utility to create an 700 MB New Image
Format : MS-DOS (FAT)
place all your files into the FAT image.
launch 'BURN'
set to DATA - <Mac + PC> format
Name the CD
Move all the files from the FAT image, across into 'BURN'
burn the cd (DON'T make or save an image!)
close burn
test the cd (on both mac and windows)
< Make sure that the shockwave 11 bug is missing!!! >

Shockwave player xtras error with rosetta stone

Im trying to use rosetta stone online with shockwave player but i keep getting two error messages, the first one i get is, "this application requires an xtra (FLT ear) that either does not exist or failed to load properly. Please make sure the appropriate xtras are in the xtras folder." then when i hit ok the movie player begins to load then the second error message pops up and says, " This shockwave movie has errors that have caused play back problems please contact the author of this content regarding problem, shockwave unable to continue." I have tried uninstalling the slim and full versions of both version 10, and 11 i have no idea what else to do. Im using a new macbook with mac os x version 10.6.3 thanks for any help you can give.

I figured out on my end that it was our Web Filter software blocking rosettastone.com. After adding this to our unblocked list it installed required components and ran successfully right away.
