Can't start Dreamweaver from desktop shortcut

Dreamweaver starts normally when I right click on an html
file, and choose "Open With." However, when I try to start
Dreamweaver by clicking on the desktop shortcut, I see a Windows
installer window with the message "Please wait while Windows
configures Dreamweaver 8", then the message "Error 1325.barbershop
is not a valid short file name", and then "Installation failed."
Why is Dreamweaver trying to install itself, when it is already
installed?
I have three events in the Event Log after trying to start
Dreamweaver:
Warning: Event ID 1004: MSInstaller Detection of product
'{0837A661-FEC3-48B3-876C-91E7D32048A9}', feature 'ProgramFiles',

Dreamweaver 8 -- Error 1325.barbershop is not a valid short file

I am unable to uninstall, repair, or change Dreamweaver

Windows XP, sevice pack 2.
I'm getting nowhere looking through the Knowledge Base....
Any help?

  • After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMAc it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remeber to open with MY choice rather than Ap

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

  • [Solved] Can't start GParted from XFCE menu

    Hi,
    I have polkit installed but I can't start GParted from the XFCE menu. Do I need to edit any configuration files to make this work? The wiki isn't very clear about what to do after installing polkit. Thanks.
    Last edited by kaixi (2012-11-02 15:09:12)

    In my Xfce4 installation, it's /usr/share/applications/GParted, which I copied over to ~/.local/share/applications/, as kaixi suggested, and it appeared there as gparted.desktop.  Right-click for Properties > Launcher > Command, and in that field (not wanting to install gksu) I put sudo gparted, which works, thanks.

  • How can I keep Dreamweaver from re-writing my code?

    How can you stabilize your code so Dreamweaver leaves it as
    you wrote it? I get it right, then dreamweaver rewrites it wrong. I
    fix it, then dreamweaver 'fixes' it and it's wrong again. I've done
    this over and over and can't get the code I wrote to stick.

    That would sure be the ticket.

  • Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

    Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

    As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

  • HT1338 If I have OS 7.5 installed on an external drive, can I start up from the external drive in that OS when my macbook pro is 10.7?

    If I have OS 10.6 installed on an external drive, can I start up from the external drive if I have 10.7 installed on my macbook pro?

    Provided that the MBP supports booting from that version of 10.6, and the install was from a retail disk (not a different Mac model), then yes. If it's a newer Pro that came with Lion, it may not boot to 10.6.

  • Can't start up from Install disk

    I'm using a MacBook purchased 3/07. System 10.4.11
    I can't start up from the Install Disk for Leopard. I only get a screen with the apple logo and the spinning thing. I wait 10 minutes. Nothing happens. I've tried both using the Disk for the start up and clicking on Install icons but when it shuts down to restart....nothing.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks. Lois

    Hi Josef,
    I left it on for over an hour and nothing happened. Finally called Apple and after an hour and a half of all kinds of testing, restarts, zapping and I don't know what else, the nice man there talked to his supervisor and then had me test the hardware (hold down D when starting). Turns out there is a problem with my ram so now I have to take it to a local technician and if he can't fix it, it'll have to go back to Apple for repairs. Ho hum. I just hope it finally gets working to make all this worthwhile.
    Thanks again for your interest and help.

  • How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?

    How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
    variables?
    Example:
    "...write to you@<!--#echo var="uu" --> and ..."
    is changed by DreamWeaver to
    "...write to you@
    <!--#echo var="uu" -->
    and...>
    When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
    and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
    isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
    the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
    incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
    uploading.
    Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
    Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
    this problem?
    Thanks
    DearWebby

    DearWebby,
    We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
    here for
    the sake of posterity:
    1. Edit > Tag Libraries…
    2. Open HTML Tags folder
    3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
    4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
    5. Click OK

  • How can I download photos from desktop to ipad2

    How can I download photos from desktop to iPad2?

    Not sure what you mean by it seems to have not recognized photos already on iPad 2.
    There are two types of photos on your iPad 2 which are stored and handled completely separate.
    Photos captured by your iPad, photos saved from a received email or from a website, and photos imported from a digital camera or from a digital camera's SD card using the iPad Camera Connection Kit are stored completely separate from photos transferred from your computer to your iPad, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
    Photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPad's Photo Library. If you transfer a single album or folder of photos or multiple albums or folders or photos, all photos transferred from your computer will appear twice on your iPad - once in the Photo Library where all photos transferred from your computer are stored, and once in the photo album or folder selected to be transferred to your iPad. The photos are not duplicated. Photos in the albums or folders include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view all photos transferred from your computer by selecting Photo Library, or you can view the photos in an album or folder only by selecting the album or folder.

  • Launching from desktop shortcuts results in shared JInitiator sessions?

    Hello,
    I've been looking into how best to give users a route into my Forms 10gR2 application, and had set up a desktop shortcut. This is just a URL to an intermediate htm file, which then uses window.open() Javascript to run the URL for the application itself in a stripped-down browser window. I've turned off the Internet Explorer option 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts', so a new IE window is always opened rather than use an existing one.
    That all works fine in principal. I've noticed, though, that if a browser is already open, then clicking on the shortcut will open a new browser window (good) but that is still part of the existing browser process. This means that if I use the desktop shortcut twice, to start two separate sessions of my application, they are in different windows but sharing the same browser process - and the same JInitiator (I only see one instance of the JInitiator console, with outputs from the two sessions.) That scenario often causes the newer application session to hang terminally before login.
    The problem doesn't occur if I manually force starting of a new IE instance to run my second application session. It definitely seems to be a problem with running two Forms sessions in one IE instance - I read on another post there was a known bug on this in Forms 10g904, I'd have thought this would be fixed by now..?
    Has anyone else had similar problems? Or experience of using desktop shortcuts to start a Forms app?
    Cheers,
    James

    I haven't done much with JPI, apart from testing it locally on my development box. I've successfully lobbied our DBA in support of creating an alternate JPI config on our test server, to evaluate its effect on an app currently under development, but I've yet to ask that he actually create that config.
    My main reason for wanting JDK 1.4 or better, is to gain support for regular expressions. I'm running JPI 1.3.1_16, so I haven't had a chance to observe the behavior you're describing with JPI 1.5. The Java Plug-In Control Panel provides allows me to choose which JRE it employs -- does JPI 1.5 no longer support this? As for the sticky-cursor issue, I am not familiar with it -- I guess I'll have to research that a bit!
    I'll be working with JPI more, over the coming weeks/months, and will be certain to report back with the results of my testing.
    Later,
    Eric

  • Can't start up from Install CD

    Hi...My Mom's iMac needs the drive erased and the OS reinstalled. I have the original Install CD but this iMac won't start up from it either when I hold down C on start up or when it restarts when I follow prompts from Install CD.
    It reads the Install CD on the desktop. Any thoughts about why it won't boot from CD?
    Can I link to my iBook via firewire and install OS from there?
    Or can I download the OS 10.2.8? I have the original receipt for OS and all manuals, etc. What would I need to do that?
    Thank you very much!

    Hi steve
    Please confirm it's NOT possible to install from a firewire linked iBook?
    It is possible, though if you cannot install from the iMac's CD drive then it is not likely it will work from the iBook's drive, but you can try.
    With the iMac on (Host), the iBook off (Target) connect the firewire cable.
    Start the iBook, hold T key to make it the boot drive. It will appear on the iMac's Desktop.
    Insert the Jaguar Install CD into the iBook.
    It too will appear on the iMac's Desktop.
    From the iMac, select Restart and hold down the Option key to select Start-up Manager.
    From Start-up Manager, select the Jaguar Install CD which will take you into the installation.
    Select the iMac's HD as the destination for the installation.
    ...or the possibility of downloading 10.2?
    Negative on this one. No Mac OS's are available for download as they have a commercial value and cannot be uploaded or downloaded. Besides, you have the Jaguar disk to use. I hope you can install it.
    If the iMac's HD is full you will not be able to do an Archive and Install as there won't be room, but it sounds like an Erase an Install is what you are after anyway.

  • Can't start camera from unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8

    Hi!
    Some I can't start the camera from the unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8 update.
    It works a couple of hours after reboot, but the problem keeps turning back randomly.
    After iOS8 update I also installed facebook, facebook messenger, linkedin and sync.me and configured skype.
    The actions are:
    Enabling the unlock screen and then sliding up the camera icon, it seems to appear a camera captured image but then the screen turns black or greyish (randomly) like the unlock screen background.
    The problem doesn't happen from the control center panel locked or unlocked.
    It isn't a big problem because there are simple workarounds, but it's annoying when it happens.
    Best regards,
    Bruno.

    This problem seem to have been solved in iOS 8.0.2.

  • Can't start up from 10.5 Install Disk, but can from MB Pro Install Disk?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    1. I was going to Verify (and then maybe Repair) HD by starting up my computer from the OS 10.5 install disk, but my laptop just blacked out (froze) each time I tried to start up from the 10.5 install disk. I tried starting up holding down the "c" key, the "option" key, and the "shift" key.
    Each time my laptop just blacked out and froze. Odd as the 10.5 install disk has very rarely ben used and has no visible scratches, etc. I think I haven't used it since the original install.
    2. So I tried instead the original Install Disk 1 that came factory specific with the MacBook Pro (which also has 10.5 and iLife, etc. on it). Held down the "c" key and I was able to boot from the Disk (and do a Verify Disk, etc.). No problems at all.
    Anyone know what could be up with my OS 10.5 Install Disk? Is there a way to test if the Disk itself is somehow damaged?
    Thank you.

    Thanks again for your response.
    I am all for these forums in helping people out. I know some questions/ answers can't be all black and white.
    But - in the interests of clarity for others out there -
    1. Again, I was not trying to INSTALL from the 10.5 Install Disk.
    2. I was merely trying to insert it and use it to VERIFY my HD.
    3. I know one cannot do an "update" INSTALL from (for example) a 10.4 Disk if one already has 10.5 installed.
    4. But - through the incarnations of 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 - I had always been able to use the OS X retail install disk (no matter how old) to check out my HD, even if my HD had (for example) 10.3.5 on it and my Install Disk was just 10.3.
    According to the link William posted, this may be different (I would guess on rare occasions), starting with Leopard.
    5. But, given my history through all the incarnations of OS X, I was puzzled when it seemed my laptop could not read my very unused, mint 10.5 OS Install Disk. A mystery. But when I washed a seemingly flawless disk, it worked afterwards. So something must have been on it I couldn't see.

  • Can't start movies from AppleTV directly :-(

    First thing first: I'm not sure what version of appleTV I own but I purchased it from an apple store about a month ago. That being sayd: When I try to start a movie (from my home share) directly via appleTV it doesn't load. However, when I start movies from my PC it works flawlessly with no problems at all.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
