DreamWeaver CS4 on Windows 7 64bit

I've been using DW successfully and seamlessly since 1997 on Windows 95, 98, XP.
I have the same problem with DW 8, CS4 trial upgrade and CS4 upgrade (purchased) on my brand spanking new HP Windows 7 64 bit computer:
When I update an existing DW page and save it, I get this message:  "Access was denied."  On the trial version and DW 8 on Windows 7, I got an "Authorization was denied" message.  I assumed the purchased update would resolve this problem.
So for every page update, I have to put the content in a new page with my template, rename it, delete the original file, then rename the new file the same name as the one I updated.  This sometimes happens each time I reboot and re-open the file.
It's especially unnerving when I update a template - it'll only update the files that allow me access.  There are over 500 files and I don't think I should have to release each one from the template, rename, delete, then rename back to the original.
Is this a Windows 7 problem or an Adobe problem.  What is the solution?
Thank you in advance!

OMG SnakeEye - you are my hero!
Here's what I did - I right-clicked the parent folder of my site in Explorer, selected Properties/Security and edited the permissions (some of the were Read-only).  At first it wouldn't "stick," but I diddled a bit and was able to make the change and update all my files.  I guess I'll have to do this for all my sites.
Before I diddled, I thought I'd check the computer administrator permissions, but it sounded too complicated:
"You must change the permissions to give the IUSR_computername account the correct permissions so the web server can access the database file. In addition, the folder containing the database file must also have certain permissions set to write to that database..." from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-79f 0.html
Is there an easier way to do this?
Thank you again!  My migraine is gone!

  • Can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7.  Setup error

    I can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7.  I get a vague error that says Setup error, sontact Adobe Customer Support. Adobe Customer Support refuses to help me.  That really upsets me. 

    First of all I would like to thank the people that responded to my post.  I am extreemly impressed with your eagerness to help and your concern for my problem.  Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
    I did not see a way to get a transcript of my chat.  I should have printed it at the conclusion of my chat. Overall though, I think my concerns are with Windows itself and also how Adobe as a company handles a call from someone who gets an installation error that says "call Adobe Customer Support". I purchased this program to run on Windows 7 and I am installing it on a Windows 7 computer. I feel that if Adobe is going to give a vague error message and tell you to contact them, they should give me more assistance than "your product is too old, good luck on the forums". I could see if I am calling and asking them how to do something, maybe my product is too old for that, but I think their responce was unacceptable.  I hope enough other people complain so that Adobe changes this policy.
    Wow, this has taken an enormous amount of time to deal with. I imagine this is mainly a Windows file permissions issue, but I think Adobe needs to take some ownership for a client having to spend many HOURS trying to install their program on the original OS they purchased the program for.
    I definitely do not like the way the Adobe Dreamweaver installer deals with errors. Here are the facts as I know them.
    When the installer would fail on install, the subsequesnt install would fail, but it would give a VERY cryptic error stating that the install failed and I need to contact Adobe customer service.
    In order to re-install I had to un-install.  Naturally my un-installs failed every time, too. After lots of trial and error and checking the forumns, I found   the program install folders under c:\programs. I deleted them, re-booted, unistalled again with no errors.  Then I could re-install without the vague "contact Adobe customer support" error.  Note that I had to re-install several times to get to the bottom of the installation problem so this took a long time to figure out.
    In the end, I had to manually delete files from C:\Windows\Installer in order to get Dreamweaver to install.  This took a long time to figure out, too.  It still installed with errors, but it said Dreamweaver would work with limited functionality. So far this is good enough for me and I am tired of spending non-billable time on this.
    Following is one of the main erros I got during the first failed install.  IF ANYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY MY INSTALL WAS FAILING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.  IT SEEMS LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO ACCESS THOSE FILES, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AS THE PROGRAM IS INSTALLED AS ADMINISTRATOR. Any thoughts???
    Thanks again everyone who helped!

  • Issue installing Dreamweaver Cs4 in Windows 7

    grettings to everyone:
    After I sucessfully Dreamweaver CS4 in Windows 7, when I try

    I also installed Photosop Cs4 and had no problems with it, it
    runs ok.
    I would apreciate any help.
    Thanks

    Of course I know Windows 7 is still in beta, It all solved
    when I restarted my PC, though it never asked me to do it.

  • Error Installing Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7: Installer Database is Corrupt

    Error Message: The Installer Database is Corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.
    I bought a new laptop and would like to install Dreamweaver CS4 on it. It is already running fine on my desktop, being installed back in 1/2011. Both PCs are Windows 7 but the new laptop is Windows 7 Professional.  I have downloaded the two install files ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.7z and ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.exe multiple ways and to multiple locatons on the laptop. I've run the .exe file multiple ways and extracted to several locations besides the default (c:\users\userid\Desktop\Adobe CS4). After the extract completes and it tries to run setup I get the same message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please Contact Adobe Customer Service" (which I did and they just gave me another download link I had already tried).
    I even copied the folder with the extracted files done on my desktop (where the install had succeeded). And still got the same message when I ran setup.exe on the laptop. I tried running it with a "run as administrator" command prompt, double-clicking in Windows Explorer, start > run and the same thing happens. At least it doesn't appear that it has actually installed anything yet.
    I did notice that my new PC has a program called "7-zip 9.20" installed which I do not remember installing and its install date is prior to my purchase of the PC so I'm guessing it came with it (HP Pavilion 15t running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The Windows 7 Desktop does not have this program installed. It is available from C|net where it has a good rating. Perhaps setup.exe does further extracting and the 7-zip program is the culprit? This is a long shot.
    I searched for others with this problem and found lots of issues installing Dw CS4, but none quite like this.

    Awesome! That worked! Actually I searched three folders (Program Files, Program Files (x86) & Program Data) for caps.db and found:
    c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Elements\caps.db (dated 9/2/2011)
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup\caps.db
    I ignored the first one since it might be needed by the Premier Elements 10 I installed yesterday and changed the name of the other one from caps.db to barb.fix.
    I changed the install folder from c:\Program Files\Adobe to c:\Program Files (x86) just in case CS4 is a 32-bit application which I had done before when installing on my Windows7 Desktop. Now that the install has completed I see that I have caps.db files dated 5/5/2014 in
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\backup\caps.db (barb.fix is still there but is only 26kb vs 3291 kb for the new caps.db)
    Thank-you so much! Now wish me luck when I try to open it for the first time!

  • Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 8

    I have recently purchased a new laptop running Windows 8.  I am a private individual who runs three websites using Dreamweaver CS4, one for a school and two a non-profit organisation..  The local view shows every file on my drive instead of only the files in the in the folders belonging to each website. 
    Is this a compatability issue?
    Can anyone offer assistance?
    neon700

    When you set up the Local Root folder, make sure DW is putting the right path in. I know there is a glitch in DWCS4 that would put basically "on directory up" as the folder even if you browsed to the right place and hit OK. (up until a couple weeks ago, I was still using DWCS4 and fought this issue every time I made a new site)
    Go into your broken site definition using Site > Manage Sites > Edit
    Click the Advanced Tab
    Look at the Local Root Folder text box. This is where DWCS4 likes goofing up. If your site's root folder was supposed to be C:\Users\yourname\Desktop\Folder1 it will likely show C:\Users\yourname\Desktop instead. You should be able to change that manually by adding in the correct folder name at the end.
    Otherwise, the way to fix it when you're making a new site is to browse to the correct location twice when adding the local root folder during the Site Definition process. It will usually pick up the correct location on the second attempt.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Compatibility

    When using CS4 (Dreamweaver and Fireworks) the "Properties" panel does not display correctly when running in Windows 7. The bottom half of panel is out of site no matter screen resolution and the input boxes "Title" etc are cutoff vertically.
    Is this a compatibility issue, and if so, does anyone know of a work around?
    Thanks for any help--Patrick

    Try
    CS4 Property inspector fields truncated (Windows)
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2032992
    Workaround
    ***Goto Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Display
    ***Select on the left "Set custom text size (DPI)"
    **Set whatever scale percentage you want (DPI)
    ***Uncheck "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling"
    Click "OK"
    When you load up Dreamweaver you should see the whole Properties pane.
    In the case that you don't after changing that setting restart your computer and try again.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

    I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
    1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
    For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
    2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
    You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
    I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

    Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
    Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

But to keep the design how can I use transparent image without slowdown. The images are in PNG-24 format and i used those through CSS.

  • 'Browse For File' icon not working in Dreamweaver CS4

    Hello All.
    Ever since upgrading my copy of Dreamweaver from version 8 to CS4, I seem to have accounted an annoying bug (?)
    If, for example, I want to change an image on a webpage, I would click the image in question on the screen and by using the Properties panel would select a new image by clicking the 'Browse For File' icon in the 'Source File Of Image' section of the panel.
    Then I would select the new image, hit 'OK' and the image would be changed.
    Now when I do this nothing happens - the original image remains and cannot be altered.
    I now have to manually type the link of the new image into the 'Source File Of Image' field, which is a pain.
    I have even disabled my firewall and anti-virus just in case these were somehow conflicting but still no change.
    Any ideas anyone please?
    Thanks,
    Jon
    Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

    If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means that there is a corrupt personal configuration folder.
    Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
    When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.  
    For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.
    Hope this solves your issue.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 serial number invalidated after 8 months of use

    In January 2nd 2014, I purchased an OEM version of Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows from a reseller called "Smart Shop" which looked like a serious outfit [emails from Jet Support were received with a link to "Access your order and customer support http://appscustomerscare.com"]. A serial number was obtained. I downloaded the program from their site  and installed it without any problem: When I launched the application, the serial number was inserted and the Adobe server validated it: the application worked seamlessly for more than 8 months.
    Yesterday, when I launched Dreamweaver CS4, a dialog box showed up stating the the serial number used was invalid! I used the serial number that I had been given to activate Dreamweaver but the form showed a red X at the end of the serial number meaning the the serial number was invalid.
    [personal information removed... Mod - https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731]
    [This is an open forum, not Adobe support, please do not post personal information]
    Now, I'm back to the trial version (available for 29 more days)!
    Is there a licensing problem link with buying an OEM version of Dreamweaver from resellers?
    Why was the serial number considered valid on first run and all successive runs and then invalidated after 8 months?
    How can I be sure that my next "bona fide" purchase of Dreamweaver won't run into the same problem?
    Is there a way to recognize good from bad resellers?
