Cs5 configuration error6

Hi I have AI cs5. I transferred it from my old macbook that is running osx version 10.6 to a new macbook running mavericks. On mavericks when I try to open the program it says uninstall and reinstall configuration error 6. I would like to know how to fix this problem because it is also showing up on Photoshop cs5 as well.
I do not have the serial number anymore to reinstall it anymore. I also don't have the contact info of where I got the aplications anymore since it was so long ago when I got cs5 Illustrator and photoshop.
Someone please give me some advice. I still have it on my old macbook and it works. I need it on my new mac to work. I cannot dish out another couple grand to buy a new version of this program any time soon.
I hope someone can help me with this. I am a graphic designer and live by these programs.

jlw,
At least if you have registered the applications with Adobe, you should be able to get what you need from them and download again.
In any case, this may be one for Customer Care,

Adobe CS5 Configuration Error 16

Hi,
I am having an issue on my Macs running Adobe CS5 installed via Adobe's default installer with a volume license key. I have local non-adminstrator mobile user accounts that authenticate to open directory. They are non syncing.
On some machines, when a mobile user logs in and tries to run any Adobe app, there is a pop up with CS5 Configuration Error 16. Please reinstall Adobe CS5. I've checked the permissions of the directories listed in http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html#main_AdobeP CD
and they are correct. I've determined that the root cause is a cache.db-journal file that belongs to a different user. If I delete this file (as admin), the problem goes away. What causes this file to exist? What causes it to persist between users? Should I add a login script to delete the cache.db-journal file if it exists?
Thanks.

I finally got everything working, despite the ineffectual help of the Adobe support team. Maybe my solution will be helpful.
I loaded a duplicate of my system saved BEFORE installing the Cloud Manager onto another drive. Then I loaded the Cloud Manager onto my current boot drive and sure enough, got the Error 16. Then I loaded the OLD version of the Adobe PCD file from my duplicate drive. No go. Then I loaded the OLD SLStore file. Still Error 16.
BUT then I replaced the SLCache folder and BINGO! problem gone. I noticed in the folder is another called SLConfigs. I am not sure it is a permissions issue or something that happens to this file when the Cloud Manager updates these files, but by reloading the pre-install version of this foldeer I have fixed the problem. I repeated the fix on another machine. I have now downloaded the CC apps with no issues.

InDesign CS5: Configuration Error (Error 5)

I've installed CS5 Premium. When I try to start InDesign CS5, I get this error: "Configuration error. Please uninstall and reinstall the product. If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of the screen. Error: 5. http://www.adobe.com/support/". It looks like this:
I've uninstalled and reinstalled. It did not help; I got this same error again. I went to the Adobe support page and found nothing useful. I see it says "contact Adobe technical support," but I am trying my best to sort this out on my own before getting in the support queue.
Has anyone else had this trouble?
Perhaps related, perhaps not, when I try to start Photoshop CS5, it brings me to the 30-day trial activation screen. This, despite the fact that I entered my serial number for the suite when installing it. If I put the serial number into the activation screen, it rejects it as invalid for the product (from what I read, it should be accepted ... a document here on Adobe's website said any application in the suite should accept the suite serial number). I know the serial number is good, because it works on my other machine (it installed fine and works on my desktop, and this is the laptop I am trying to get to work). InDesign, Photoshop, and Bridge are the only products in the suite installed on this machine. Bridge works fine.
Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi Swapnil,
What do you mean by system configuration and how to run CS3 Clean Script on level 4?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you please provide information about system configuration.
If you don't have any other version of Adobe on your system then you can run CS3 Clean Script on level 4 on your machine. This will actually remove all Adobe componentes from your machine and then try the installation..
Cheers,
Swapnil

After Effects CS5 Configuration Error 3

I'm really getting frustrated with Adobe After Effects CS5 right now. For the last month, I have been getting a message that says "Configuration Error 3, Please re-install the product". I uninstall it, then reinstall After Effects, and I still have the message. I even reconfigured my computer to try to fix the problem. It fixed it for about 2 hours then I got the message again. I tried uninstalling then used the Adobe Cleanup Tool, as recommended to me before. This did not work. I need to know how to fix this because now I have to use this for school.
My computer specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
System Rating: 5.3
Processor: AMD Phenom(TM) 9750 Quad-Core Processor 2.40 GHz.
RAM: 8.0 GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GForce 9800 GT

I wish I knew an easy answer to your problem. I haven't had to deal with Windows errors for several years now, but back in the day when I was working primarily on Windows machines I kept a system backup of the OS in a disk image using Norton Ghost. There are also probably other backup / restore options out there that work just as well.
When I got into one of these "can't seem to solve it" scenarios, I simply restored the system OS using a good disk image from my latest clean install of just the OS and core programs. This took less than an hour and gave me a clean place to start, run the latest system updates, then install my critical apps. Once I had a clean install of my primary apps I ran another system backup using Ghost. Now you've got two clean places to bounce back to in case of a major system failure. Using the disk image you can be back up and running in about an hour no matter what happens.
The key to making this work quickly is to keep all your work on something other than the Boot drive. If you don't have a separate backup of your work then the a restore from the disk image could take much longer. Either way, it's a much better solution than spending the better part of a couple of days reformatting the boot drive and re-installing the OS and all the programs from scratch.

The same thing just happened to me, is there anyone who knows how to fix it?

Photoshop cs5 CONFIGURATION ERROR: 6

When i first had cs5 photoshop it was working fine after i got a few bugs fixed, but then my harddisk sopped working so i replaced it with a new one on the same computer and windows xp sp2.
When downloading photoshop cs5 i got this error, i once had it with flash cs4 and i couldn't download that either, until i had download photoshop cs5 on the old harddisk it ceased to work.
Could anyone help me, i mean i right now am fusing because paying so much money for a program that dosent work seems more like a ripoff

Not sure why you chose XP SP2; Photoshop requires XP SP3.
Was it the C: drive that failed? Did you do a full system reinstallation or restoral from backup?
Just a couple of guesses as to the root of your problem, since you have provided far too little information to diagnose it fully... Did you try clearing your browser cache and downloading the Photoshop installer again? What antivirus/antimalware software are you running, and are you sure you haven't picked up any infection since reinstalling your operating system?
Honestly, calling Photoshop a ripoff when your own system faults clearly led to the problems you're having seems a bit extreme.

Dreamweaver CS5 : com.htm Configuration/Floaters

Bonjour,
J'ai installé Adobe Creative Suite CS5 Design Premium il y a qq jours.
J'ai utilisé Dreamweaver sans problème.
Aujourd'hui j'installe Acrobat Reader Pro 9, et depuis cette installation + redémarrage, à chaque fois que j'ouvre Dreamweaver j'ai ce message :
"le fichier com.htm ne se trouve pas dans le repertoire Configuration/Floaters. La palette ne sera pas affichée".
Avez-vous une idée pour que ce message ne s'affiche plus ?
Merci

Bonjour,
Je suis désolée, mais je ne vais pas être rassurante : j'ai également ce problème. Depuis aujourd'hui et une mise à jour d'Acrobat 9 (pas une installation) A l'ouverture Dream. fait apparaître cette fenêtre "le fichier com.htm ne se trouve pas dans le repertoire Configuration/Floaters. La palette ne sera pas affichée".
Je ne sais pas si je peux intégrer le fichier com.htm de CS4 dans le dossier CS5 configuration/floaters/
Peut-être aurons-nous une réponse ?
Cordialement,
vé-ga

Added new file but type still won't open in CS5

I would like CS5 to be able to open .m3u files as text files. I have added M3U into the Extensions.txt in my C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt, and the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Extensions.txt files. I've also added it to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml file. I have tried this two different ways: one by adding M3U as an addition TXT file, and the other as a completely new type.
In both cases, I can do File\Open and it lists my type (either Text Files (*.txt; *.m3u) or M3U Files (*.m3u)), but when I try to open a file with .m3u extension I get "Dreamweaver can't open .m3u files. Please choose an HTML, XML, or other compatible file."
Is there some other location I need to change this? Or is there somewhere to tell CS5 to open unrecgonized file types as text (the way Dreamweaver 8 used to work)?

Robert,
I would like CS5 to be able to open .m3u files as text files. I have added M3U into the Extensions.txt in my C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt, and the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Extensions.txt files. I've also added it to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml file. I have tried this two different ways: one by adding M3U as an addition TXT file, and the other as a completely new type.
You should never edit files in the *Application* Configuration folder (i.e.C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration). You should only edit files in the *User* Configuration fodler (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration). The reason is that you can always delete your User Configuration folder to reset to your original installation files.
You said that you edited "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml" but you should have edited the one in your User Configuration folder instead. If it doesn't exist in the User Configuration folder, then copy it there first, then edit it. You should just need to add it to the winfileextension and/or macfileextension attribute(s) as a comma-separated value.
You'll need to shutdown and restart DW.

Extension Manager CS5 will not open in Windows XP

I have been trying to install any extension in the EM CS5 and it will not open. I have removed it and re-installed several times with no luck. Is there an update or something I need to do to make this work? It will not run through Dreamweaver as well.
Thanks,

1. If "C:\Documents and Settings\<YourUserName>\Application Data\Adobe\Extension Manager CS5\Configuration\Extensions\exman_uiPreferences.mxl" exists, delete this file.
2. Each CS product which Extension Manager supports has a file named XManConfig.xml. If Extension Manager can not find this file from a CS product, Extension Manager will not integrate this product. So in order to determine the cause, you can rename XManConfig.xml for all CS products temporarily (You can find this file under installation directory or its configuration sub-directory of each CS product), as a result, Extension Manager will not integrate any product.
3. Try to launch Extension Manager, if it can be launched successfully, then rename XManConfig.xml back one by one and launch Extension Manager again after each rename. If Extension Manager can not launched after you rename XManConfig.xml back for a certain product, then the problem is relevant to this product, please generate log files to assist troubleshooting. You can read other threads in this forum to learn how to generate log files. Of course, if you don't need Extension Manager to manage extensions for a specific product, you don't need restore name of XManConfig.xml for that product.
4. If Extension Manager can not be launched even if no any product is integrated,also please generate log files.

Filetype HTML.xht workaround for Dreamweaver CS5.5

upon upgrading to Dreamweaver CS5.5, i noticed that files of filetype HTML.xht in one of my web projects either wouldn't open in Dw, or wouldn't open with link color cueing and file management.
the known workaround is configuring the following files by adding item 'XHT' after 'XHTML' on the line for 'HTML' documents:
     Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml
          [in Dw CS5, was Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml ]
and
     /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/Extensions.txt
        [in Dw CS5, was /Users/me/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver\ CS5/en_US/Configuration/Extensions.txt ]
the workaround enables Dw CS5.5 to open an HTML5 document with an 'xht' extension via the Files Panel.
additional information about 'deployment of HTML.xht' is noted on my web site at
http://www.enhanceability.com/dev/0.xht
please let the Dreamweaver developers know that there must be a better way to support HTML.xht or HTML5.
best regards,
Ron Stone

Hi Peran,
I actually resolved the problem by accessing the website with Internet Explorer (ver. 8.0.7601.17514)) rather than with Chrome (ver. 35.0.1916.153 m). Link = http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-5-product-downloads.html, which can be navigated to via your link (http://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html) as well as via the link referenced in my question (https://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html). The problem apparently related to Chrome.
Thank you,

CS5 - Photoshop won't start: preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)

Environment:
Win7 Ultimate - 4 gig ram - CS5 Design Premium
Seemingly out of the blue - Photoshop stopped loading and I'm getting two error messages :
first: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered
second: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
I've deleted the two Preferences Files - but they don't seem to repopulate on startup - (or if they do they are deleted per the error message)
I tried copying a Preferences file from another working machine but that failed as well.
In addition: Dreamweaver is kicking out the following error messages - but opens and seems to work normally.
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file C:\Program Files (x86) Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Spry\Designtime\EditingUtils.js (error 2).
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file "C:\Program Files (x86) \Adobe\Adobe dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscripts.js" (error 2).
I'm in the middle of a big project and need to get back up quickly - any help would be much appreciated.
Thx.

Run photoshop as administrator holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, that should trigger a preferences reset prompt.
If that won't work I would do a backup and delete the entire Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings folder, not just the two files you mentioned.
As for your Dreamweaver issue, try deleting WinFileCache-********.dat (or FileCache.dat) from your Dreamweaver Config folder.
Otherwise try deleting your preferences
Exit Dreamweaver.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Choose Start, type regedit in the Start Search, and then press Enter.
In the left pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
Remove the Dreamweaver preferences registry entries.

CS5 installation errors

Hi. I own CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9. I recently purchased a new Mac laptop and used the built-in migration tool to move all my software to the new computer. All the key CS5 applications were working fine (Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamworks, InDesign) but I got an error message for Acrobat Pro, which said...
Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop).
But I would start another component (such as Photoshop) and nothing would change. So I decided to uninstall everything and re-install it. I used the uninstaller and then the cleaner tool to get rid of everything. Then I tried to re-install. But I got installation errors, primarily...

I think I've tried this re-installation process about 12 times now. Seriously. I've been at this for more than 8 hours. I've been reading through forums, trying to find and delete various Adobe files, and I've had no luck.
Doing a clean OS install is really not an option. There are just too many pieces of software I'd have to re-install. But I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any thoughts?

do not migrate adobe software. properly install it using adobe installation files.
