Can't launch Dreamweaver

I had a glitch with my computer, had to go back to a previous restore point, and now cannot figure out how to start Dreamweaver.
Basically I cannot figure out where dreamweaver.exe or dw.exe or whatever it is named actually lives.
I launch CC and it tells me dreamweaver is up to date, but I can't figure out how to A) uninstall it so I can reinstall (it's not in my list of programs on my uninstal possibilities) B) find the exe file so I can make a shortcut.
Did a search in my computer but it's not finding the file.
Been digging through the myriad folders (dreamweaver DOES seem to be in my program files) but I cannot find the darn file to launch. Anyone have the slightest CLUE where it lives?
Running Windows 7 and Dw CC.
Thanks!

Ouch.
Yes I'm the main user and have admin priveleges.
Dreamweaver.exe doesn't exist in that folder or. apparently anywhere in my computer.
Meanwhile CC tells me that DW is up to date and doesn't give me an option to re-download/fix the program. Any clue what on earth I can do?
I've already uninstalled/reinstalled CC. I can't uninstall DW because I can't find an uninstall file.
Since this is still a trial version, the very rude people at support will not help me unless I purchase the full version - why they think I'd purchase a program that so far doesn't WORK is beyond me. I'm only hanging in because I had DW back when it was Macromedia and loved the program. *sigh*

Can't launch Dreamweaver CS6 Cloud

I can't launch Dreamweaver CS6 downloaded from the cloud on my sign-on with a Macbook Pro using Lion. I've talked to Adobe support twice -- first time had me set up a new admin user, which opened the program but hasn't got any of my files, next time had me uninstall, fix permissions and reinstall. Nothing has worked. Other cloud programs are working well. Any ideas?

I believe there is a specific issues with DW's networking stuff used for Business Cartalyst and the Site Panel on some Mac installs. Perhaps you should search and ask in the DW forum...

How can I launch Dreamweaver CS 3 with license expired message?

I have used Dreamweaver CS 3 to design a website. I used a navigation tool, that is no longer available in CS 5.5. I tried to launch Dreamweaver CS 3, but got the popup message, that it is no longer licensed. Is there any workaround for that?

Is there any workaround for that?
Not really. You need a licensed copy of the software in order to run it.
I used a navigation tool, that is no longer available in CS 5.5.
That's a shame. Those early menus were horrible and they don't work well in modern browsers. That's why Adobe scrapped them.
Best to replace the menus you have now with something better.

Can't launch Dreamweaver CS5.5 | Mac OS 10.6

When you try to launch Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Mac OS as a Network User with home folders on server, the application starts with the following occurrences:
The Dreamweaver menu appears in the menu bar, but other menus, such as File, Edit, View, or Dreamweaver specific menus do not appear.
The application does not appear on the screen at all.
This was an issue with Dreamweaver CS5 version 11.0.1 but an updated version of 11.0.4 fixed the issue. However, the issue reappeared with CS5.5 version 11.5.1.5344.
Any help to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I am experiencing the same thing with InDesign CS2 after installing the Flash Player update. I'm at my wits end! Help me too!

I am unable to launch Dreamweaver Trial version

I am unable to launch Dreamweaver Trial version which I have just downloaded. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and have also performed a software update. Can anyone advise? When launching the application, I get the following error: Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

Dreamweaver 2014.1 requires OS X 10.7.5 or later to be installed.

Yes, you require an internet connection.
Launch DW

Download the installer from the Adobe site directly or using this method
Install it on the new machine
Launch it with sufficient user privileges (admin)

Hello together,
last month i bought the creative suit 6 design & web premium for students. after the installation i can´t open dreamweaver. it isn´t possible to open power-pc apps.
with google i can´t find a solution... i hope very much that you can help and tell me what i can do to start scripting with dreamweaver on my iMac with os x 10.8.
now i tried to install the testversion of dreamweaver on another older imac (2,9 GHz Inter Core 2 Duo) with the same os x and it runs. is it possible, that it don´t run on last version of iMac (2,9 GHz Intel Core i5)?
thanks a lot,
fabian

It seems that some versions of Mac OS X don't have Tahoma and Verdana fonts enabled, which prevents Dreamweaver CC from launching correctly. See http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/troubleshoot-crash-dreamweaver-cc.html for details of what you need to do.

Unable to Launch Dreamweaver CS4

When I try to launch Dreamweaver CS4 I get the splash screen
and then the error message "The application Dreamweaver quit
unexpectedly". I can see that this has happened in CS3 but I cannot
find any method of fixing the problem in CS4.
I am running Mac OS X Version 10.5.5 and I have a retail
version of CS4 Web Premium, any help would be great.
I have attached the error code if it is any use.
Once again, Thanks

This is a user-to-user forum, so you might strike lucky and
find someone
who has encountered a similar problem. However, since you
have the
retail version of CS4 Web Premium, you're also entitled to

Can not open dreamweaver due to missing menu.xml file, how do I fix this problem?

Can not open dreamweaver due to missing menu.xml file, how do I fix this problem?

@alicia - We have seen such issues before
Allow me to quote David Powers from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1192197
The menus.xml file is normally in your personal configuration folder. Before going to the trouble of reinstalling, try deleting your configuration folder. Details of how to find it are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494812.
When you launch Dreamweaver, it should build a new configuration folder.

Can't Uninstall Dreamweaver!

This is ridiculous. After having issues getting setup.exe to
start (had to set explorer as my default browser for it to work;
don't ask me why), I now have a problem where I can't re-install
dreamweaver as it thinks dreamweaver is already installed. I've
removed absolutely all application files (including those in
Documents & Settings, and those scattered amongst the program
files folder including associations in the 'Common' folder)
including performing a full system search for files & folders
including the word dreamweaver, additionally, I've used regseeker
to scan the registry for all keys including the word, or somehow
associated with the word dreamweaver (over 1000 registry keys
gone).
All that and I still can't install Dreamweaver CS3. Here's a
screenshot of what I'm getting as my error...
http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/5600/dwnw9.png
I'm guessing there's probably some kind of hidden DLL in the
windows directory which although doesn't contain the word
dreamweaver in the name, is probably associated with dreamweaver
and so the setup.exe probably checks for that file.
Would anyone happen to know how I can either satisfy this
setup.exe or some how force it to install?

Now aren't I just fantastic, 99,000 google searches later, I
manage to work it myself without the help of any resource. I
decided to run Filemon which monitors file access by applications.
I started capturing activity after I launched setup.exe and stopped
it once I saw the dreamweaver currently installed error (screenshot
in original post). At first glance I didn't see anything unusual,
but then I noticed that setup.exe had accessed a file named caps.db
quite a lot which was located in C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
I decided to remove the whole folder as caps.db was the only
thing inside the 'caps' folder. I then restarted setup.exe and bam,
no error. I'm currently installing dreamweaver now. If I don't post
back here, it means deleting caps.db hasn't affected any other
adobe applications, otherwise, I'll probably post back and let you
know :)
I hope this helps someone else as after googling, I'd found a
few others experiencing the same thing but with photoshop (it's all
very much the same).

Launch Dreamweaver CS4 and open a specific site

One of my stumbling blocks in moving from GoLive 9 to Dreamweaver CS4 is finding a way to have Dreamweaver open a specific site at launch time. GoLive has a "name.site" file that contains site-specific information. Double-clicking that GoLive site file launches GoLive (or switches to the running application) and makes that site the current/frontmost site.
With Dreamweaver, I can double-click a page in a site and launch Dreamweaver. However, Dreamweaver's active site is the one that was active at the end of the last Dreamweaver session.
Is there a way to launch Dreamweaver and have it automatically open a specific site?
-- Barney

Say, if they do something like that for the already existing .ste files, then it might just encourage some people to export/backup their site definitions. Although I would probably never think to doubleclick one of them, that is still a good idea.

Can't launch Safari due to error message

I can't launch Safari anymore. It says it is missing some important resources and I have to reinstall Safari. I have done so, but it still does not work.
Here is the error message;
The procedure entry point SQLite3_wal.checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
Can someone please help me? I have rebooted my computer, uninstalled Safari and reinstalled it without any luck.
Thank you very much

Just so you are aware, Apple no longer suports Safari for Windows.
If you don't want to use IE, try Firefox for Windows > Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Much more user friendly than Safari.

Can not launch lightroom says error when reading its preview cache

I can not launch Lightroom is puts up a error message that says it encountered an error when reading its preview cache and goes in to a loop that keeps closing the program
I have restarted my comp 4 times same this each time
I can't find any trouble shooting and when I try and download lightroom again it just puts me back at the creative cloud desktop which I can't click in anything

You need to delete the preview cache. LR will automatically create new previews.
Read here and here are the locations. Don't touch the *.lrcat file.

On how many systems can i install dreamweaver cs6

About a month ago i have format my whole old pc with also dreamweaver cs6 deleted (i had troubles with my whole pc, thats the reason to format the whole pc) I sell the empty pc. only windows 7 on it.
Now i have an new pc. and i have installed dreamweaver cs6 on it. it works ok.
My question is: on how many computers can i install dreamweaver cs6
I have in my home 2 times the program installed. one on this pc and one on the pc that i selled (The program dreamweaver cs6 was not anymore on that pc that i selled. I had deleted it)
Now I would like to sell the adobe dreamweaver cs6, becaus i don't need it anymore. is this possible? because i had installed it on two systems in my home. one on this system and one on a system that i selled (deleted the DWcs6 on the selled pc).

You seem to be asking two different questions.
The answer to how many computers you can install Dreamweaver on is two. However, if you want to sell Dreamweaver, you must transfer the licence entirely to the other person. In other words, you can't keep Dreamweaver on one of your computers, and sell the other permitted installation to someone else.
Details of how to tranfer the licence (or sell your copy) can be found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html.
However, you say that you deleted your version from one computer. That's not enough. You should have deactivated it first. You will need to get Adobe to cancel the activation on the computer you no longer have. Otherwise, the person who buys from you won't be able to install on two computers.
