CS5 plugin to work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?

Hello,
I have a plugin that should work on both Illustrator CS5 and CS6. CS6 also supports 64-bit illustrator.
Can i create a 64-bit configuration for the CS5 SDK and make the plug-in work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?
Thanks

I don't know if its possible to build a single binary that works in both anymore. Its definitely possible to have a code base that generates two without a whole lot of problems though -- we do it
The main problem is that in CS6, none of the legacy suites are present (unlike CS5 and earlier). Also, a lot of types have changed (and its going to get worse next version since they've indicated they're going to change AIReal from float to double). So if it is possible to make a single binary, its a very short window where its useful because I can guarantee it won't work for CS7 (CS6.5?).

  • Unable to start Illustrator CS6 64-bit on Windows 7

    I installed the CS6 Master Upgrade yesterday and almost all of the apps are working correctly. However, when I try to open Illustrator CS6 64-bit it returns this error message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." The 32-bit version works correctly. Any suggestions or similar cases? Thanks.

    I feel like I need to chime in here.  I just installed my new Master Collection of CS6 all my x64 applications were working with the exception of Illustrator x64.  I Googled the heck out of this and found so much back and forth between adobe saying it's a microsoft issue (.net framework and redistributables) and microsoft saying it's an Adobe issue.
    My windows installation is fairly fresh, but for the heck of it I tried unexpectedpanda's solution of uninstalling/re-installing the Microsoft Visual C Libraries.  I followed the instructions to the letter, I even went so far as to uninstall/re-install .net itself.  No luck.
    I saw the Lightroom (error unable to start correctly) fix mentioned in a few places, and thought frick I've tried EVERYTHING else.  I did the following to fix this annoying issue:
    1) Download the Lightroom fix (mentioned in the link from crebimacedo)
    2) Extract the .dll files from the .zip.  There are 2 files; msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll
    3) Opened folder Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)/Support Files/Contents/Windows
    4) The above folder already contains the msvcr80.dll so I did NOT overwrite it.  I simply copied and paste the msvcr100.dll into the above folder.
    5) Tried to launch Illustrator CS6 (x64) and imagine that. WORKING!
    To me this says that this was indeed an Adobe issue and their installer appears to be missing a file.  Especially when a fix file from their website resolves the issue.
    I would also just like to add that I have confirmed that this file already existed in my C:\Windows\System32 and in C:\WindowsSysWOW64 so my OS was NOT missing it as a .dll; again reiterating that it appears to make this an Adobe issue.
    Good luck to the rest.
    This one works for me ...

  • Illustrator CS6 64-bit dvaui.dll and msvcr100.dll crashing problem, any solution?

    First things first, trying to find a tech support Email address or phone number has been infuriating.  The "3-step support wizard" which results in "go to the forums" is also infuriating and insulting.
    I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC running CS6 64-bit (updated/current), and it's crashing at random (2-3 times per day).  I see events recorded in the event log showing dvaui.dll and msvcr100.dll as the source.  Other people have raised this as an issue, and all I see are guesses.  Does Adobe have a credible solution for this yet?
    I've tried running as a domain admin, which did not help.
    Illustrator CS6 32-bit seems to be working perfectly (4 days straight, no crashing).
    It seems to currently affect only one computer (5 others are fine).  It's not repeatable, and has no discernible cause.
    Also, format and reinstall is neither a solution nor an option.
    To be honest, I'm looking for Adobe to address this directly: do you know why this is happening, and how long until it is solved?  If an Adobe tech support will open a case, I have a file that the designer (I'm not the designer) was using during one of the crashes.  I don't know if the crashing will be related (to the file), but I have the file just in case.
    David.

    Hi Larry,
    Thank you for responding.
    > CS6 is current in that it is still available for purchase and in the CC but it is now two versions behind.
    I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say.  Can you be explicit, please?
    > As to your problem have you tried downloading the .dll files from Microsoft and reinstalling them?
    I have copied and re-registered the DLL files from a known-good machine (that is to say that the machine doesn't exhibit any of the symptoms as the above machine), which did not help.
    I'm really interested in having Adobe respond directly to this issue.  I know they are aware of it.
    It's clear that Adobe doesn't actually want to support this program, but people rely on it for their economic success.  Both my client and his employees need this program to function properly and reliably, and I think anyone would agree that it's reasonable to expect that a problem like this (that affects more than just us) be, at a minimum, addressed.  Adobe has my client's money, they had no problem accepting it.  With that acceptance comes a duty to be responsive.
    Thanks,
    David.

  • Illustrator CS6 64-bit Crashes When Opening Files

    This is a problem that has been plaguing me since I moved to CS6 64-bit (on a Windows 7 machine). I've only seen it in Illustrator:
    Seemingly randomly once or twice a week, I will click on an AI file in Windows Explorer to open it, and Illustrator will crash to the desktop. There is no consistency to the files that I've been able to find. Some are local to my hard drive, and some are on the network. It could be a file I've opened several times the same day already or a file I haven't opened in months. I restart Illustrator and everything's fine— I can access the file, no problem.
    The only trait that I have sussed out is that it seems to happen more frequently if I've left the computer idle for 20 minutes or so, which is well below the sleep time-out for my hard drive. It's almost like Illustrator doesn't know how to wait for a file if the file isn't immediately available. (The files are not open elsewhere.) I've read that Illustrator is cranky with files on network locations, but this happens more frequently with local files.
    Program files are loaded from an SSD, but the scratch disk is my local HD and my files are stored on the HD. My scratch disk was originally the SSD, but the problem occured almost every day under that configuration. Moving the scratch disk to the HD made the crashes occur less frequently.
    The event log for yesterday's crash doesn't seem to be particularly helpful. (Posted below.)
    Is this behavior familiar to anyone? I have been searching Adobe's forums and the web in general with no luck for the last year. My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere in the forums and I haven't found it.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a shot... but wouldn't other applications be experiencing the same thing? I open Photoshop files all day and it's never happened. I'm in and out of CorelDraw as well. (I don't open Corel files in Illustrator.) I also see no disk errors in the event log, but, as I said, I'll check for updates because that couldn't hurt, right?  :-)

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)でpsdがリンク配置されたファイルが開けない

    CS６スタンダードでAdobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)をwin8のOSで使用しています。
    最近客先で作成したファイルを開けなくなりました。
    ① 作成したファイルにpsdファイルがリンクされており
    [○○○.psd]というリンクファイルの読み込みに必要なプラグインが見つかりません。「置換」を選択し別の・・・・
    というメッセージがでます。
    ②新規作成でも配置でpsdファイルを設定しようとしてもエラーになり取り込めません。
    ③別のＰＣでは問題なく①のファイルも開けます。
    CS6ごと再インストールを何度かしましたがだめです。
    解決方法はないでしょうか？
    気になるのは最近ですがプラグインで株式会社地理情報開発の
    PlugX-Clipper2.5  win版をインストしました。
    よろしくお願いします。

    別のPCでは問題がないということですから、Illustratorの環境ファイル系かOS環境側に何か根っこがありそうですね。類似の報告は海外のフォーラムでも見かけましたが、いずれも回 答がついていませんでした。おそらく開発者にデバッグしてもらわないと原因追及が難しいレベルの現象で、我々としては何かが壊れていると考えて対処するしかなさそうです。
    ついては、まずはCS6の完全削除と再インストールを以下の文書を参考に徹底的にやってみるのが良いと思います。
    以前のバージョンを含むすべての Adobe アプリケーションを削除し Creative Suite 6 を再インストールする（Windows 7/Vista）
    インストールトラブル用の CS Cleaner Tool（Creative Cloud | Creative Suite 3/4/5.x/6）
    PlugX-Clipper2.5については、一旦ここまで削除してしまえば、再度インストールするまでは影響は考慮しなくて良いのではないかと思います。
    OS環境側に問題があるとすれば、OSのクリーンインストールまで考えなければなりませんが、これは正直しんどいですよね。たぶん一発で解決するとは思いますが……。
    以下蛇足です。今回はエラー内容からプラグイン関連のトラブルである可能性は否定できません。プラグインはIllustratorの起動時に読み込まれ、プラグインが備える自身の機能をIll ustrator側に伝える仕組みを通じ、Illustratorが全てのプラグインの情報を整理統合して、Illustrator自身の機能の一部として取り込むのですが、整理統合に失敗し てpsdファイルを取り扱うプラグインがどれだかわからなくなってしまうことはあるかもしれません。プラグインの情報はキャッシュしているようですので、一度失敗するとそのまま覚えてしまう可 能性もあります。PlugX-Clipper2.5はファイル形式に関する機能は持っていないはずで通常は無関係と考えられますが、Illustratorが覚えているプラグイン情報を書き換 えるきっかけにはなっているため、100%除外することもできません。問題の起きていない環境にPlugX-Clipper2.5を入れて再現するか確認し、もし再現したらクロということにな りますので、余力があったら試してみて下さい……。

  • Pantone search not working in illustrator CS6

    Hello everyone - this issue has been a problem for me in Illustrator CS6 for over a year now.
    The Pantone Libray in Illustrator CS6 has a search box, but when I type in certain numbers (541 for example) it takes me to 7541. However, if I look around and manually pick the swatch by hovering (which takes forever and is ridiculous) I find it.
    The 541 swatch is there but the search function doesn't work for many numbers. This is an incredible waste of time for me and after many updates and putting up with it for a year, I am at the end of my rope.
    What solution would you all suggest short of buying yet another version of Illustrator which I find silly since I already shelled out several thousand dollars for this one and I do NOT want to have to buy new software because there's a bug Adobe refuses to patch.

    wow actually that space workaround is still MUCH better than i've been dealing with so far, so thank you! i saw a thread where someone said to type a space beforehand but that doesn't work. you are the first person who's given me any sort of reasonable solution - greatly appreciated!!

  • Pinch to zoom not working in Illustrator CS6

    After replacing a lot of the hardware in my MacBook Pro and re-installing CS6, I've found that pinch-to-zoom no longer works in Illustrator.
    It's functioning fine in InDesign and PhotoShop though.
    Am I missing some preference option to enable multi-touch gestures?

    yes, what in the world is going on with this latest OS, even claimed to be world's most advanced!?
    I was shocked enough when I realized no 4finger swipe to switch apps, and 3finger swipe to go back and forth between pages not working when you have 3finger drag enabled
    now what's utterly frustrating is NO MORE PINCH TO ZOOM IN FINDER
    this is like one of the most important functions in the OS, and it's gone!?
    this must come back
    please fix these in the next update

  • Several daily crashes in Illustrator CS6 64-Bit

    Hello,
    After a long hard struggle with CS6 32-bit, Windows XP and 4 GB RAM, we decided to do our designers a favor and install Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit, 16 GB RAM and a new SSD for them, in order to speed up their daily work. Besides that, the PC is equipped with an i7-2600k and some HP-motherboard (it's an HP Elite 8200 with the beforementioned upgrades).
    The good news is, that it has increased the speed greatly.
    The bad news is, that Illustrator (the 64-bit version) has a tendency to crash several times each day. I havent' been able to find a pattern, unfortunately, but here's log-files from event viewer:
    Faulting application Illustrator.exe, version 16.0.0.682, faulting module 4f6e45b7, version MSVCR100.dll, fault address 0x10.0.40219.325
    Faulting application Illustrator.exe, version 16.0.0.682, faulting module 4f6e45b7, version dvaui.dll, fault address 0x6.0.0.0.
    I've seen a few threads regarding the first crash, which suggested, that we should run Illustrator with administrative priveleges. So we did that (setting the permissions in the shortcut), but with no luck. I have absolutely no idea what dvaui.dll is, though.
    The user is a local administrator, which should rule out any permission-issues in my eyes.
    Any ideas on how to proceed?
    Best regards,
    Thomas   

    We are having the same issue and unable to find a common pattern. We reformatted the PC and reinstalled Illustrator.
    Logged in as a local administrator and domain administrator, same issue.
    Cleared Settings & Preferences, same issue.
    Turned off Preferences sync, same issue.
    Turned off AVG, same issue.
    Unable to find a common pattern at all.

  • Actions not working in Illustrator CS6

    I created some actions that work on my PC. They area currently working in CS3, CS5 and CC. I had a friend test the actions on their MAC which is running CS6. The actions did not work. I am desperately trying to figure out why they work in previous builds with no problems but so far 2 people with macs running CS6 cannot run them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Charles

    Hello Dhirendra,
    I've recreated all my actions in AICC 2014, because the ones I created in
    AICS weren't working.
    When I test the AICC 2014 newly created actions in AICC 2014 they seem to
    work fine.
    When I restart my computer and open AICC 2014 again and use the actions
    they don't work. Please find attached a screenshot.
    They default AICC 2014 do seem to work, so I'm not sure what is the problem.
    Any help is much appreciated as I rely on my actions

  • Activate Artboard using selection tool - Not Working in Illustrator CS6

    When using Multiple artboards, typically you just need to click within an existing artboard to activate it as the selected artboard.  For some reason this function is not working for me suddenly.  I can still activate an existing arboard in the artboard panel, but I am working with 40 artboards, and it's much more efficient when it automatically selects the artboard you're working on as the active artboard (for aligning, pasting, etc...).  Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?

  • Dynamic Linking has stopped working in Illustrator CS6 16.0.4

    Dynamic linking no longer appears to be working since the new update to 16.0.4. I have it set in the preferences to ask me if I would like to update when a change is made to a document that is dynamically linked to any AI file.
    It just simply doesn't work anymore. It used to be if I had placed a photoshop document in AI, and then had to make an adjustment to the photoshop file, and then saved in photoshop, when I went back to AI there would be a box saying "the document has been updated, would you like to apply the changes to this file?" or something to that effect. Now I get no prompt, and no update happens. 

    BTW - Mac 10.6.8
    And yes it is a linked image that was added using the place command. It shows in the links panel as a linked file. I can click on re-link and it will update, but I have to manually click it as opposed to dynamic linking updating automatically.

  • How do I fix "Error loading plugins" when I launch illustrator CS6 on my Mac?

    Flare.aip
    FlattenTransparencyUI.aip
    ObjectMosaic.aip
