CS4 Dreamweaver/PS/Illustrator won't launch

I successfully installed CS4 version 4 onto Windows 7 OS. When I go to run Dreamweaver or PS or Illustrator they don't work. The Dreamweaver error message I receive is "Could not locate the resources file in the configuration folder."
Sound booth works fine and Flash runs too.
Any help much appreciated.

Sounds like a permission issue and/or your firewall/ virus scanner blocking something... Check, whether they run as admin or from a new user account, then check the existing permissions on the user home directories and program folders and fix any conflicts that may exist there...

Out of memory message in Illustrator. Now Illustrator won't launch. Can I reinstall?

I was working on a very detailed illustration in Illustrator and got an out of memory message. I ended up forcing Illustrator to quit. Now Illustrator won't launch. In the Adobe Creative Cloud, can I uninstall Illustrator and reinstall without having to pay extra?

Kathy,
I believe you should reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Illustrator won't launch

I updated Updater and Illustrator and now it won't launch. I am using OSX 10.8.2 and Illustrator CS6.

What happens when you try to launch Ai CS6? Do you get any error message? Error screenshot would help.

Adobe cs6 illustrator won't launch

Hi I"m trying to launch my Adobe CS6 Illustrator and it won't launch. It looks like its reading the system fonts and that's where it gets too. I tried deleting preferences doesn't seem to have done anything. All other applications are working fine.

Suitcase might have a function to check your fonts. But I would suggest you update it first to the most recent version http://www.extensis.com/de/font-management/suitcase-fusion/
Illustrator doesn't behave well with font management anyway. Let alone dated versions.

Dreamweaver CS6 trial won't launch

I have tried to launch Dreamweaver CS6 several times. I have installed and reinstalled the trial version but cannot get it to open. I get the little hourglass like it wants to load but that's only for a second and then nothing happens. The installation went fine. There were no problems or error messages. I do not get any error messages either when I try to open it. It is very important I get this program to work because my homework depends on it.
I am running on Windows XP Professional Service pack 3. My computer is an AMD Sempron 3000+, 2.00 GHZ, 1.93 GB of RAM.
Is there something I can do to get this program to open? Or perhaps something I may have done wrong?

Hello,
I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if there had been any resolution to the problem?
I have the same issue, and after several of my own tests to find the problem I found that the issue seems to be related to computers running Windows XP PROFESSIONAL. I tried installing the trial on four different computers, two were running XP Pro, and two were running XP home. In each case, I used the same DW CS6 install file, and started the installation to install as a trial, and each install went without any problems. But on the two WinXP Pro machines, the trial failed to initiate at the initial launch (first time start-up by clicking the LAUNCH button from the 'Install complete' screen). On the two XP HOME machines, the program started fine.
Unfortunately for me (and apparently for sweetpea too), I need it to run on Windows XP Pro and all my attempts to change the Windows permissions, or create and use a new user account had any affect-- the trial just won't start on the XP Pro computers. And just to clarify, ALL of the computers were running Service Pack 3.
It seems to me then it must have something to do with the program allowing permission (as noted in the various help files), but since they haven't seem to fix the problem, they are missing something. And obviously, I can't try the new CC version (it doesn't work with XP) so I need to find a solution so it will work with XP Pro (my work computer). I had planned on purchasing it once I was sure it would let me make the changes to my website that I wanted, but I'm not about to buy it now, and then find out it still won't work.
So I'd appreciate any additional recommendations that anyone might have to help to resolve the issue with a Widows XP Professional computer.

Dreamweaver CC 2014 won't launch

Just switched to a new Mac Pro. Per Adobe's instructions, I downloaded and installed Creative Cloud. Then from Creative Cloud I selected the Adobe apps to install. Several of the apps run just fine--no issues. However, no matter what I try, I can't get Dreamweaver CC 2014 to launch. The icon in the dock bounces a couple of times and that's it. No splash screen, no crash dialog. I checked CONSOLE and it has nothing showing for "Dreamweaver" or "Adobe" in the message. The ~Library/Logs/CrashReporter has no crash logs (user and root). I've repaired permissions (even though that has no impact on Adobe apps) and rebooted, but nothing works. I've also uninstalled and then re-downloaded and installed Dreamweaver CC 2014, but that didn't help.
What do I try now?
MacOS 10.9.4
Mac Pro 3.5 GHz 6-Core, 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

Hi All
I am hoping it is not rude to add my bit here but I am having exactly the same problem. I unistalled Dreamweaver and installed the 2014.....now I click on the icon it bounces twice and does not launch.
I have seen that the extension manager was used to resolve this issue by Montylee.....please can you tell me step by step how you did it as I have adobe extension now and keen to resolve this issue.
Also how do I unistall all traces of earlier versions I have that may be causing clashes?
Many thanks in advance.....
Getting desperate.... I am a relative novice so please treat me gently.....HA HA

Dreamweaver MX 2004 won't launch. Please help!

My old laptop running Dreamweaver MX 2004 is dying, so I installed it on my new Windows XP laptop. I have installed it several times before and never had a problem. On the new laptop, when I launch Dreamweaver, it does not start. In Task Manager, I see a Dreamweaver process start, then two ~e5d141.tmp processes start, then they all disappear. One Macromedia Licensing.exe process remains for a few seconds or a minute, then it disappears too. Technical support said my license and registration are all okay. I installed the 7.0.1 upgrade but that had no effect. There is nothing the event logs. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling in safe mode, launching it in safe mode, disabling the graphic accelerator, and lowering my screen resolution to 1280x1024. I also tried several "Compatibility mode" settings. I cannot find any log or dump files, although I might not be looking in the right places or for the right file names. Can anybody please help me?
Thank you.

Good morning ArtieTet,
I had the exact same problem and came across your post. I've since solved it on my computer. I'm not sure what your level of computer expertise is and whether or not you're comfortable editing your registry, so I've dumbed-down the following instructions a bit - forgive me if they're too dumbed-down!
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type regedit
4. Click the OK button
5. Double click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key (folder) on the left
6. Double click the SOFTWARE key
7. Double click the MACROMEDIA key
8. Right click the DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 key
9. Click Rename
10. Type a new name for the key, such as OLD DREAMWEAVER MX 2004
11. Press Enter
12. Try to start Dreamweaver again
If all goes well, Dreamweaver should open and re-create that DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 registry key from scratch. There's likely some corrupt data in it, though I haven't been able to figure out what. If I do, I'll let you know.

Indesign, Photoshop & Illustrator won't launch, no preference files

Just downloaded Creative Cloud on a Mac OS 10.7.5 and programs work except for Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, which do absolutely nothing when I try to start them. When I go into preferences, there are no files in the folders for these programs which leads me to think new preferences aren't being created when I download them. How do I get the preferences so those programs will actually open?

If you installed the 2014 versions, then that won't work. They require OSX 10.8 at least. Otehrwise check your folder permissions.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 won't launch

I have been using Adobe Dreamweaver on this computer for almost two years. Today it started to crash every few minutes. Now it will no longer open. I cleared the preference, and reinstalled it, but it still will not launch. Any ideas? Thanks

I used TextEdit to remove some media queries from my last edited .css document, and now it opens again. If I put the code back in the program crashes and doesn't open again.

Updated and illustrator won't launch

I made sure I have all the latest os10.6.8 update and illustrator still just begin to launch and then stops. No messages

Marty,
I am afraid CC2014 requires 10.7 or more.
System requirements | Illustrator
You may install CC, following this set of instructions:
http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-version-control.html
If you run into trouble with that as well, it has been proven possible.

Dreamweaver CC2014.1 won't launch. Everything else works fine.

When I launch Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 the icon jumps but nothing happens. I have all other CC software working fine. My DreamWeaver CS5 is working fine. I have installed JAVA 8, I do not get any pop up about Java SE 6.

Ask in the DW forum and provide exact system info. Sounds like some of the startup scripts are not working.

Dreamweaver CS 5 won't launch on Mac

Error says "No document types have been found in the Configuration/DocumentTypes/ folder. The MMDocumentTypes.xml file may be missing or corrupted."
When I tried to reinstall, error says the serial number is no good. (I still have the email with the CS serial numbers.) Other CS products not affected.
No fixes or solutions I've seen here seem to help.
I've got Dreamweaver CS5, Version 11.0 Build 4993. Using MacBook Pro (Retina) with OS 10.10.
