Creative MediaSource setup.exe ha

I downloaded CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe and tried to install it. After doing CRC checks and downloading some files, the setup program hangs. I see it on the taskbar, but all of the options (Move, Size, Close, etc.) are grayed out, and the Task Manager lists it as Not Responding.
Has anybody else encountered/gotten around this problem?

Clearing the temp folder didn't help. However, I did find a work-around--and perhaps it will work for others, as well.
I used WinZip to "manually" extract the contents of CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe into a folder. I then drilled down Setup\Setup\setup.exe, and ran that setup program. While there are other setup programs, I figured I'd start there, then manually run the others if anything turned up missing. But, so far, that doesn't seem to have been necessary.
Logically, I probably "should" have started with install.exe, but that appeared to be the program that was hanging.
So far, so good...

I can't install the Creative Cloud Setup exe

Hi
I can't install the Creative Cloud Setup exe - it crashes my windows 8.1 machine. What to do?

uninstall anything cc that's installed, clean and retry following the steps here, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Creative Cloud Setup.exe not starting up.

I am running windows 8.1 on my laptop and I am having difficulties getting the CreativeCloudSet-Up.exe to start. I tell the program to run, but nothing occurs after that on my computer. After futher Inspection by using the task manager, I see that the application is physically running on my computer but yet the installer is not appearing on my screen. I also have tried launching the creative cloud setup application as administrator. Also, I am fairly sure that the setup app is broken because no quatily setup app would be only 657 kilobytes, unless your living in the 90's/early 2000's. Bottom line, how do I get the creativecloudset-up.exe to run correctly in stead of just hanging on my computer and displaying nothing.
Here are my laptops specs:
intel i5 processor
Nvidia geforce 820M
8 gb ram

Christopher King 214 I would recommend utilizing the steps listed in Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install the Creative Cloud Desktop application. You may want to try utilizing a different web browser. I would also recommend checking the settings of the security/firewall software to ensure they are allowing the download and installation process to occur.

Creative MediaSource 3.30 on SB Audigy 1 possib

I noticed in the downloads section for SB Audigy that the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer v3.30.2 program is now available for download for SB Audigy () users.
I own an SB Audigy (Digital Entertainment edition).
I've installed the latest drivers for it in Windows XP (except the newest beta driver which I haven't tried).
I downloaded the 52Mb Creative Mediasource 3.30 program and tried installing it.
However, upon finishing extracting files, the application will tell me "not able to find audio device" or something, it suggests me to retry or cancel. Clicking "retry" will show "searching for installed components" and then pop up the same error message. Clicking "cancel"... well, cancels the installation.
So it seems that I'm unable to try out this MediaSource program for my SB Audigy .
Is there some way to make MediaSource install on my SB Audigy ? I'd like to see what this MediaSource is really all about (like playing music files with EAX Advanced HD, etc).
(maybe it's possible to edit some configuration settings file prior to running the installation setup.exe so that the app will install?)
Thanks to anyone who has successfully done that.

R.U. lazy? Why can't you try it by yourself.
Well, I tried it. But it pops out a message saying my system doesn't have the proper components (some such thing -- I'll try to get the exact message next time)...
I have an SB Audigy card properly installed with the latest drivers (and functioning without problems).
As for nvidiot's suggestion to run the setup.exe program. I believe I also tried that method and it showed up the same error message (sorry, will jot down the message next time).
However, I'm interested in this "ctcomp" utility you mentioned that can patch the setup files. How is the ctcomp used? (I recall having an experience with a pre-patched Audigy2 drivers quite some time back. It already had a prepatched ctcomp.dat or some similar thing which allowed the Audigy2 sound driver to install on Audigy sound card.)
So I surmise this method might work (assuming the Creative MediaSource relies on the same identification mechanism).

(edited/added)
Ok, I've finally gotten this thing to install. I probably wasn't running the correct setup.exe program as mentioned above. I went to the SETUP\SETUP directory and run the SETUP.EXE there. The CMS program started to install and after a few minutes of hard disk activity, the setup program told me to restart the system, after which the Creative MediaSource program is installed. (no need for the ctcomp thing)
Thanks to all that helped me here.Message Edited by dta on 0-08-2006 03:3 AM

Technical question about Creative MediaSource 3.30.21‏

Hello:
I use Creative MediaSource software to manage my Creative MP3 player. When I hook up the MP3 player using the USB cable, I can play songs in the "player" within the MediaSource organizer. How do I set it so that the songs (which reside on the MP3 player) will play on my computer speakers (not through the MP3 player)?
Im summary, when I play a song that li'ves on my computer, it plays through the computer speakers, but songs that li've on the MP3 player play on the MP3 (even though I'm controlling them via the MediaSource software). How do I play all of these songs on my computer speakers?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Creative MediaSource and SB Audigy

I have an SB Audigy Digital Entertainment and have installed Creative MediaSource 3.30.2. My question is how do you enable eax, svm and crossfading in MediaSource? All of them are grayed out from the Play menu. Also the effects bar does not appear. From what I know audio cleanup, time scaling, svm and crossfading is supported by Audigy.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have SB0360 (SB Audigy 2z platinum pro) with the exact same problem. EAX, SVM and Crossfading options are grayed out from the Play menu and also do not appear at bottom of player view...
I have CMS Version 03.30.2 installed. Also have the Audio Console. I tried installing the
SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_2004.exe drivers. The install messages indicated a successfull installation and instructed me to reboot.... I then attempted to install the DVDA_PCApp_LB_2.00.75.exe but the Install generated the msg ' setup did not detect the required components setup will now exit '
I'm confused... (I received no errors when installing 2.08.2004 drivers)
I am running Windows XP SP2. I went into the hardware device manager to display the driver version under the Sound, video and game controllers (Creative SB Audigy 2ZS (WDM). Drivers are identified as
Driver Provider: Creative , Driver Date: 2/8/2005, Driver Version 5.2.8.64
I'm confused by the CMS version versus the driver version...
Does the CMS Version 3.30.2 mean I've got .84.55-R version of drivers?
I bought the PC in OCT 2004 with the Card already installed... The install disk is dated 2003 and has a s/n 320ML0000230 on the sleeve and on the disk...
I'm assuming that this is not the 2.08.2004 drivers but how do I know for sure?
Can anyone help explain how I can resolve this?

Creative Mediasource Organizer is missing a dll-f

When I try to start my Creative Mediasource Organizer (CRM), I get an error saying "CTCMS.exe - the component wasn't found. This program couldn't start, becaus CTHml.dll wasn't found. It is possible, that the problem can be solved by reinstalling the program" (a bad translation from Danish - sorry (-: )I've tried reinstalling the program, but it didn't solve the problem. Has anyone got a solution?Best regardsMads

IceMan,
You can install the CDRW database update for the MediaSource. That should fix your problem. Go to the driver download page and do a search for this filename - CDBD_PCApp__00_05.exe

Creative Mediasource hangs during installati

Hey guys.
I have Creative Mediasource 3.0.09 installed on my Win XP. I recently downloaded CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe from the Creative Support site, and tried to install it without removing CMS 3.0.09. However, after invoking the .exe file, the installation process hangs before I had the chance to even click on anything. I am not able to open up the installation window, and my taskbar shows that the installation process seems to have hanged at CMS Web Installer portion.
I have tried downloading the .exe file for 3.30.2 over the course of 3 weeks, so I think there shouldn't be anything wrong like corrupted downloads, etc. Then, I tried to uninstall everything related to Creative, and tried a clean install of 3.30.2, but it still hangs.
I had also removed the keys in my registry, but that doesn't help. My CPU usage while installing 3.30.2 seems normal, and I have got lots of memory left (about 600MB left).
Does anyone have any idea on this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey RBBrittain.
Yes, I am sure Quicktime 7 is not installed on my pc. If I don't see it under Add/Remove Programs, then does it mean that it isn't installed? - yes it does.
And I don't have iTunes on my pc too.
Anyway, it'd be lovely for anyone to identify what other programs are making MediaSource crash.
QuickTime 7 is not causing MediaSource to crash. It is causing the whole Creative CD installation to crash.

Problems with Creative Mediasource software

I am having problems accessing the Creative Mediasource software. I can bring up the organizer, player and converter part of the software but cannot access the part of hte software that you can access the speaker settings and explorer window? I have tried to install from cd and it says I have it listed in the add remove programs but still cannot access..any ideas? I can even see the laucher but does not give me access to that explorer part of the program?Thanks

Hi Gilad,
If you switched from a .x firmware to a 2.x firmware, you will need some software updates aswell so your applications can communite with the new firmware.
You can find them in the Download section aswell. For MediaSource for instance, the file you need is:
Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) (23.98 MB)
Filename: CMS_PCMTP_LB__00_8.exe

Problem with Creative MediaSource and Zen Ex

Earlier today my Creative MediaSource software (the Organizer) stopped detecting my Zen Extra (60GB). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times.
Everytime I try to open the MediaSource Organizer, I get the following:?[size="3" color="#0033ff">Creative MediaSource Player has encountered a problem and needs to close.[size="3" color="#0033ff">?[size="3" color="#0033ff">Error Signature: [size="3" color="#0033ff">AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 2.2.5.0 ModName: ctcms.exe

?Can anyone help me? How can I get the Organizer working again and how can I get it to detect my player. I have installed the firmware and drivers on this site, but nothing is helping.

Try deleting the .dat file(s) under "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\MediaSource". It may solve the MediaSource crashing problem. To detect your Zen Xtra, you need to install its plugin for MediaSource. You may install it from your product CD or get the latest from the Web download. Here is what you should do:?- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.- (Depending on your product and firmware)
For non-PlaysForSure Zen series: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
For PlaysForSure Zen Xtra: Download and install the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players.
- If it is listed for your product: Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.

Creative MediaSource - AudioSync Lo

I have a Nomad Jukebox 3 and recently got a new computer and installed Creative MediaSource version 2.03.29 on it. On my old computer this application had an essential feature called 'AudioSync' which would keep the music on my computer in sync with the music on my Jukebox. Now I have installed it on my new computer this feature seems to have dissappeared although it says it should exist for this version of CMS. Can anyone advise me please?
I seem to remember it having a tab under 'settings'?

Thanks for replying but it doesn't help me...
Firstly the disk that comes with JB3 only has Playcenter 3 and Creative FileManager. It doesn't come with MediaSource. And secondly have a look below at what I have installed - it clearly states "provides AudioSync 2"...

Trying to reinstall using "setup.exe" in fixing 64-bit Adobe PDF printing error...?

Greetings. I found the following solution to my problem in the Adobe forums:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html
The text is:
Manually extract the file "adobepdf.dll_64" from the data1.cab file before installing Acrobat. When the prompt appears, navigate to this file and select it.
Navigate to the folder that contains the setup.exe file for your Acrobat 8 installation.
Locate the file "data1.cab" and open it (you sometimes need a third-party compression utility, such as WinZip, to extract the file).
Inside the content listings, locate the file "adobepdf.dll_64" and copy it to your desktop.
Run the installer setup.exe and when the prompt appears, choose browse and select the file you copied to the desktop.
Incredibly, my problem starts at #4. How do I run the installer program? I found both the command prompt and the run functionality on the start menu (yes, Windows 8, KMN). Couldn't get either of them to run the installer, and I cannot seem to find the correct .exe file in the directory. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

The problem may be related to trying to install AA8 on Win8. You may or may not be successful, or at least fully successful. The first thing after completing the install is to open Acrobat and go to the Help>Updates and install all updates (in order if more than one appears, and repeating until no updates are shown). You can also install the updates manually in order using http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
There is a good chance with AA8 that the print driver will not install. If that is the case, find a nice PS color print driver for an HP or other PS printer. Install that and change the name to Adobe PDF printer. Check the ports -- if an Adobe PDF port is present, select that and if not change the port to FILE.
You should be able to print to the new PDF printer to obtain a PS file. Open that file (the extension may be PRN) in Distiller to obtain a PDF.
The alternative is to buy the newest version of Acrobat (XI).

Cannot install on Windows 7 setup.exe freezes.

Hi I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection from a DVD by running the setup.exe however, it freezes at around 90% and I cannot continue any farther. I have tried copying the dvd to my hard drive and that gives me the same result. It also did the same thing when I had XP SP3 and I never found a solution. I really need to get this installed so I can finsh a clients site so any help is aprieciated.

Hi again (for the last time),
I must stress the most annoying thing about it is the fact that Adobe clearly lies in stating that ( in my case CS3) should work on Windows 7. In the article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/508/cpsid_50853.html on the website there is a claim CS3 has been tested on Windows 7 and should work.....
"In the article `Support policy for Acrobat 7 and 8 on Windows Vista...` no other conclusion is possible. In his answer Bob Levine admitted that Adobe 7 and 8 are supported in Vista.
And of course we can fight about the number of applications working well in Vista but not in Windows 7 and that (quoting Bob:) ´some` applications from C3 work fine in Windos 7.
Later on, there is a statement I recieved by mail that declares the opposite:
***Notes to Customer***
11/09/200908:36:02
Dear -------,
Thank you for contacting us through Adobe Web Email Support. This
response addresses your request about acrobat 8.0 on windows 7.
Unfortunately only Acrobat/Reader 9.2 will be fully supported on
Windows 7.
All previous versions will not be supported on this platform.
Thank you,
***Notes
But that doesn´t make sense in the light of the promises Adobe makes about CS3 in Windows 7 on its website.
So my complaint is still the same... don't lie on internet about things you must later take back for the sake of commerce. I personally made my decision to upgrade (from XP) to Windows 7 partly because I should still be able to use CS3 (including Acrobat 8).
Adobe is highly (probably even more than Microsoft) arrogant to users who bought their expensive products..
Tom
