Can't "Open With... Incopy.exe" in InCopy CC 2014 for Windows

To say I'm frustrated would be being kind to Adobe... I'm really going to try to suppress my sarcasm and criticism at how incompetent Adobe programmers and program managers must be to allow this kind of problem to exist...
I have some InDesign documents (.indd) that I want to right click on and set InCopy as the default program. After some trial and error, on two systems, I was able to adjust the registry to get this working.  On the third, so far, I've tried:
1. Reinstalling Incopy - Did not work
2. Copied the InCopy.exe to WWXXYYZZ.EXE - and while this allows InCopy to appear in the list of "other programs", it won't open. So...
3. I searched the registry for WWXXYYZZ.EXE and replaced all instances with InCopy.exe (Why I copied it to this weird name in the first place - easier searching of the registry - this didn't work.
4. Edited the following registry locations to ensure they pointed to InCopy.exe - but every time I change it to this exe, Windows won't open.  I'm sure Adobe would like to blame Microsoft for this, but when EVERY SINGLE OTHER Executable (and even the renamed copy) CAN be assigned to open it using the "Open with" dialog, I'm left believing that Adobe programmers decided not to do something properly in registering the exe with the registry - or registered it in such a way so as to prohibit it from being displayed in that menu for some reason.  SO HOW DO I FIX THIS!?!?!?!
Registry locations edited (reset to point to InCopy.exe):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.indd\OpenW ithList]
"a"="InCopy.exe"
"MRUList"="a"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.indd\UserC hoice]
"Progid"="Applications\\InCopy.exe"
[HKEY_USERS\{ReplacedGUID}\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.in dd\OpenWithList]
"a"="InCopy.exe"
"MRUList"="a"
[HKEY_USERS\{ReplacedGUID}\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.in dd\UserChoice]
"Progid"="Applications\\InCopy.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\indd_auto_file\shell\Read\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe InCopy CC 2014\\InCopy.exe\" \"%1\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.indd\OpenW ithList]
"a"="InCopy.exe"
"MRUList"="a"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.indd\OpenW ithProgids]
"InDesign.Document"=hex(0):
I'll repeat - HOW DO I FIX INCOPY TO OPEN AN INDESIGN DOCUMENT BY SIMPLY DOUBLE CLICKING? (and yes, I do have to shout that!)

No thanks to the utterly useless folks at adobe, I got this working - I found a registry key that had the previous version of InCopy and once I deleted that, I could now right click and "Open With" InCopy and permanently assign it.

    If we don't need anti virus program and if the one that came with the machine is supposed to do the job then what does that say about the viruses that Mackeeper says it found? Were they not there and the program made them up? Or were they there and Apple didn't deal with them?

    They were not there and MacKeeper made them up. Delete it completely. I have seen it cripple people's Macs.

  • Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

  • LabVIEW binary format that can be opened with Python

    I need to save data in a binary format which can be opened with Python.  I have tried the "Write Waveforms to File (1D).vi" and can open them back up in LabView, but the binary format is not published anywhere, so I cannot open them in Python.  They appear to be saving as DataLog type binary files.
    Is there another binary format which I can use that I can open in Python?
    The reason I need this is that with 16-channel DAQ at 20kHz I can only save about 30 seconds of data.  For longer periods, the task of writing to a text file consumes all available memory and cpu.

    I found a solution.  I found an open-source project called pyTDMS (google for it), and it can read tdms type files sometimes.  It was some trial and error to get my data saved in a way that pyTDMS could open the file, but in the end it works great.
    I have two digital output channels as well as 16 analog input channels, so here is how I had to save the data within LabView:
    The 16 analog input channels were saved as a 1D array of waveforms.  Then the digital output channels were made into another 1D array of waveforms.  The trick was to use the write tdms subvi twice.  Once for the analog input channels and again, on the same file, for the digital output channels.  pyTDMS opens these files just fine, and I can use the metadata to sort out what channels the data goes with in Python.

  • TS3276 I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow

    I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow....  that only happend on Gmail account

    It could be just an issue with the gmail server. I don't know what settings can be made for attatchments there. I generally leave those messages with large attatchments alone and view them on the computer. I was finding that certain large files like .wmv would sometimes take 5 to 10 minutes to open on the iPad.
    Yes it's aggrivating, but I don't have that answer either.

    When I create a rectangle, I can not to change the shape of a rectangle with the cursor in illustrator CC 2014 For what?

    Xavigarcia,
    I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
    So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
    To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

    I can not open a video movie clip, the system ask for a codec, how can a set up automatlicly?

    The problem was resolved a small manipulation - on stage Basic Configuration,
    point 3 "Configure CA Introscope"
    I forgot to add to the list of CA Introscope Enterprise Managers link to my manager.
    Thus it is necessary to take into account that the path should be correct (usually for linux - /usr/sap/ccms/apmintroscope) and the directory should be applied appropriate privileges.
    Then in paragraph "Byte Code Adapter Installation" - there are all the necessary data, and it starts to work correctly
