Dreamweaver CS5 won't open on Windows 7

Hello all. I installed CS5 Web Premium on a Windows 7 machine. Every CS5 application works except for Dreamweaver. I tried replacing, renaming and removing the "updaternotifications.dll" file and the application still won't open. I also disabled the registry key that gives Adobe CS5 the ability to automatically search for updates. Please help.

Hey rcshield thanks for your help.
I managed to find a solution in a different adobe forum:

"Windows 7 users' possible fix
Hi all Win7 users of DW CS5 that dies after the splash screen. You might want to try recreating your DW preferences as described here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/839/cpsid_83912.html#main_Restore7V
It worked for me. I think the problem was caused by running CCleaner which deleted the wrong registry key. Bad CCleaner! Be careful running those "helpful" system cleaners, folks. They can royally screw up a computer if you trust them too far.
Anyway, DW CS5 is back in action for me at least.

Worked for me.

Dreamweaver CS5 won't open any files from a project

Hi,
I'm working on a simple website. I work on it from 2 different locations (home and work), and the files are stored on a removable USB disk. The problem is that for some reason Dreamweaver won't open any files made on the other computer. It shows the sitemap, eveything. But when I click on a file, nothing happens.
I've tried a couple of things:
1. recreate the site in the site manager - still the same problem
2. remove the preference folder - still the same problem
The only solution is that I have to copy the files to my desktop, recreate the website in the sitemanager and then it works. But only if I copy the files to my desktop, any other location on my HD (not the removable USB disk) simply doesn't work.
Does anybody know why this happens? Or even better, does anybody have a tip of how to workaround this problem?
thanks!

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

Hi, pmajor. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
I noticed that your error report indicates that you are using build 4909 of Dreamweaver CS5, which is the release version. There have been some updates since, so I would suggest that you install the latest, 11.0.4 (build 4993), and then see if the problem persists.
You can get the latest update by going to Help > Updates in Dreamweaver, or by downloading it from the following page and then installing it: http://adobe.ly/DWUpdates

Dreamweaver CS5 won't open

When I try to open dreamweaver cs5 on my iMac it opens to the Welcome Screen for 3 seconds and then disappears and i get a Problem Report for Dreamweaver, dreamweaver quit unexpectedly. Any thoughts or ideas? I have already tried reinstalling the software.

You have a much higher change of a correct answer if you post in the Dreamweaver forum.

Dreamweaver CS4 won't open in Windows 8.1

I update my windows 8 and installed Windows 8.1. I have the Adobe creative Suite 4 which I run Dreamweaver, Acrobat and Photoshop. Acrobat and Photoshop work fine but Dreamweaver gives me the error "the application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect" when I try to open it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and that didn't work. I tried downloading Microsoft C++ redistributable and installed and that didn't work. What is going on here?? I need this program to work.

I would try restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
If that doesn't work, a Clean and Reinstall might do it...
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
File Format Error
This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
I get this message regardless of the following:
- ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
- ps is open and i double click the kmz
- ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
- ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
Thanks.
- Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
- Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
- OS 10.6.8

I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

CS5 won't open using CONT+H in PSE8

For some reason CS5 won't open with the Cont+H hot key in PSE8 but will load if using the menu drop down...any ideas how to fix this?

It's normally ctrl+E to edit in an external program; at least from Lightroom to CS5
First you must set up the external editor in preferences.

But issue persists, please help.

Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open

I just downloaded Adobe CS5 Design Premium and installed. Every application opens without problem except Dreamweaver which will not open at all. I tried installing again and that didn't work. I even tried removing all of my preference files, old Application Support files and even Library Application Support files. Uninstalled CS4 and CS5 and installed a fresh copy of CS5.
Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It gets to just before the splash screen and stops. It's not hanging either, I can click the dock and quit the app without a force quit. It appears that the open sequence is missing something.

The "solution" you referred me to didn't fix my problem. Did it help anyone else with Dreamweaver CS5 and FileVault?
I'm sorry about that. It appears to have sorted out the problem for Jim Bloom, but as far as I know, he's not an Adobe employee (neither am I).
I'm NOT turning off FileVault to use Dreamweaver CS5, nor am I going to use it under a different user account. I'd rather continue using Dreamweaver CS 4 with FileVault turned on...
OK, if that's the best solution for you at the moment.
I just want them to work and I paid a hefty fee for this privilege. And, asking that this "restriction" to be documented by Adobe doesn't solve the problem. Nor does providing me a link to Apple support on FileVault that states:
"Because your home folder is encrypted, some tasks that normally access your home folder may be prevented."
I know what FileVault is.
The bottom line is, if other applications can be made to work with it (even Microsoft's), and Adobe has been successful doing so in the past, they should be expected to do it now. I think Adobe just overlooked something before the program was released and expect that they will address this issue promptly.
Maybe Adobe will. I certainly hope so for everyone's benefit. But, unless you have been on Mars recently, you're probably aware of the fact that Apple isn't exactly cooperating with Adobe to get Adobe products to work on the Mac platform. It benefits neither company nor their customers.
If it's an Adobe oversight, it's inexcusable. If it's a case of Apple moving the goalposts without informing the developers of software intended to run on its OS, it's equally inexcusable.

XCode 4.6.2 Won't open any window when launched

Hi,
I have been running Xcode On OS X 10.7.5 for quite a while without any problem. Launching XCode I had an update request to which I agreed. After the update lauching the XCode won't open any window. I have seen that there were similar problems but on previous versions of XCode.
I deleted the application from Mission control and dowloaded again from the Mac App Store. Lauching XCode still won't open any window. No freeze, no error messages, the applications sits in the dock and is marked as open, but now window appears.
Your help would be welcome.
Regards.
Alain.

Hi,
I am going to reply to my own question.
The main Xcode Window didn't open by default as I was used too, but had to be selected from the windows menu.
Too simple I guess!!!!

Remove preferences on Mac OS
Quit Dreamweaver.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
Try to re-create problem
After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
To replace the original preferences:
Quit dreamweaver.
Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.
