Dreamweaver relocated Extension Manager won't find it

Hello there,
I relocated most of my Adobe applications on a new HDD for space issues. My Extesion Manager now won't find Dreamweaver anymore : whenever I double clic on a .mxp extension to install it, i get this kind of message :
"Impossible to install this extension. Dreamweaver 8 or newer is required" (note that I have Dw CS4 !!!)
Is there a way to specify the new location of my Dw installation to the Extension Manager in the REGISTRY for example ? Or maybe in some XML configuration file...
Thanks in advance,
Jacques

Hi
Unfortunately you will get this problem with all your installed programs if you have just 'moved' the files as the registry entries refer to the original installed program positions.
I know it is probably too late, but you should de-register your programs, uninstall them, then install them on the new hdd.The only way now is to edit all your registry entries so that they refer to the new position of the files, (I have heard of programs that will do this for you, but as to their names, sorry).

Extension Manager won't See My products?

Hello,
I am running windows 7 64bit and have the CS5 Master suite. Due to low disk space I installed the suite on an external drive which the computer saw as (I) Later I installed a Card reader and it changed all my drive letters, so now the hard drive is seen as (L). For awhile a was able to use Photoshop or any of the programs until I figured out how to change the path in properties to go to the (L) Drive instead of looking for a non existant (I).
Now I can open the products, but the Extension manager won't see them at all and when I try to install a new purchase or download I get this: http://prntscr.com/spmmq and this is the version I am using http://prntscr.com/spn0a, I do have CS6 as well, but it crashes 2-3 times a day from random things and I have a lot of stuff my photoshop has to load, so it takes almost 1.5 hours to get back up after a crash.. grrr!!!
I tried downloading CS5 Extension manager to reinstall it, but when I did that it was forcing the installation the the non existant drive (I) I couldn't change the path and when I went to unistall the Extension Manager, there was no option for it to be removed??
So the question is... is there a way to have my extension manager find the products on the (L) drive???
Thank you for any help,

In this log file I can see you are getting Error : U44M1P7 while updating the software
This Error comes where language packs for software are not installed properly on the machine.
I would suggest to update Adobe Application manager from
Windows : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
MAC: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
then try to install the update if still you are not able to update software and getting same error then uninstall all the Adobe software selecting remove prefernces.
After uninstalling the software run the Adobe Cleaner tool(http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and remove the leftovers.

Business Catalyst add-on install problem with Dreamweaver CC & Extension Manager CC

I'm trying to use an add-on I've installed for Dreamweaver CC but it is not visible (Windows > Extensions > no extensions available). When I view applications through CC App, it shows that the Business Catalyst add-on is installed. Likewise, when I use the Adobe Extension Manager, it also shows the Business Catalyst add-on is installed. I checked Photoshop and my add-ons are visible in their panels. I noticed one of the troubleshooting steps for Business Catalyst add-on states:
a. Check the version of Adobe Extension Manager CC installed on your machine.
b. If the version is not 7.3.3.39 or later, update your Adobe Extension Manager CC using the Creative Cloud app.
I checked my version of Extension Manager and it's only at ver. 7.3.2.39 even though I followed the update procedure through the Creative Cloud app. I've closed all apps and re-started my computer. I've followed all the troubleshooting procedures I can find on the Add-ons website and the forums and I'm stuck.
My versions:
Dreamweaver CC 2014.1
Extension Manager CC ver. 7.3.2.39
Business Catalyst ver. 1.0.0
Creative Cloud Desktop Manager ver. 1.9.0.465
64 bit Mac OS X (10.10.2)
I appreciate any assistance.

Reinstalling Dreamweaver (or Extension Manager) fails to solve problems

Normally, when you uninstall Dreamweaver or the Extension Manager, your personal configuration folder is left intact. This is designed to preserve your preferences when reinstalling on the same computer. However, if the reason you're reinstalling is because the program has started acting erratically (or not at all), you should also delete your personal configuration folder before reinstalling.
In fact, it might not be necessary to go through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling. Quite often, deleting the personal configuration folder does the trick, and resets everything back to the factory defaults.
Instructions on how to locate your personal configuration folder. The Extension Manager has a configuration folder of its own in the Adobe folder two levels higher than the Dreamweaver configuration folder.

What's the meaning of "remoting onto the machine"? Is it by "Remote Desktop Control"( mstsc )? There is no difference in running Extension Manager locally or by RDC. However, you have to make sure that you login with the same account. If you still can not launch Extension Manager on your laptop, you can generate log files and paste them here.
BTW, we created "Frequently Asked Questions" sub forum for Extension Manager. You might find some useful information in it. Check out http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/extensionmanager/faq

Cant install any extension for Dreamweaver with Extension Manager

I have installed dreamweaver cs6 but when i tried to install extension it says "This extension can not be installed, it requires Dreamweaver version 13 or greater.

You can only install extensions for DW CS5 with Extension Manager CS5. But this extension has declared it only supports CC or higher. So you can’t install it for DW CS5.

I can't install Pixel Bender because the Extensions Manager won't open.

HI1 I can't install Pixel vender because the Extensions manger won't open. I get the message that it has "unexpectedly quit" and then I'm supposed to send a report to Apple. Of course, nothing comes of that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
Best,
Endre

Dear Endre,
Please back up all files in the folder /Library/InputManagers and remove those files, and then try to launch Extension Manager. It may solve the issue.
You can also to try the following method:
Remove all old Extension Manager preference and application support files.
To delete the application support files for Extension Manager CS5, please navigate to folder '/Users/<current user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS5', then back up all files in the folder, and then delete all files and sub directories in the folder.
To delete the preference file for Extension Manager CS5, please navigate to folder '/Users/<current user>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Extension Manager CS5', then back up all files in the folder, and then delete all files and sub directories in the folder.
If neither above way works, please use the below method to gather crash log and I will check those crash log. Thanks.
As you mentioned, when Extension Manager crashes, there would be a dialog to ask for sending report to Apple. In that dialog, you can view the crash log by clicking report button. Then you can copy the crash log and paste it into the forum.
Best wishes,

Dreamweaver CS5 Extension Manager not working?

I have just installed a new extension, when I have tried to disable another extension the extension manager doesn't work and show any of my extensions?
I go to Commands > Manage Extensions, it runs but just shows the Extension Manager title and only access to the 'About Extension Manager' which doesn't display anything. When I quit either by the Menu or Cmd + Q it doesn't only when I Quit from the Dock does it quit?
I am up to date with all updates?
What can I try?
Thanks
Batch

If Extension Manager doesn't load properly, you might try disabling the newly installed extension via the command line.
See here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/WSB4845EDD-14E5-476a-B749-FF328830D1 4F.html#WSD6C0626D-6698-4d29-A22C-8278EE5EC6BC
To access the command line:
In Windows, open the command prompt by selecting Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
In Mac OS, open Terminal by double-clicking its icon in the Applications/Utilities folder.

Extension manager & Dreamweaver run when I launch HP's help services

The problem began when I loaded an After Effects preset, "Pie Chart" (downloaded from Adobe site)...
Now, when I click certain links in the Windows 7 Help system (as modified by HP), both Extension Manager and Dreamweaver open, and Dreamweaver generates the message, "The Extension Manager will now launch and finish updating Dreamweaver. OK?" Well, it's not okay, but my only choice is to click the OK button, which runs Extension Manager. Then I exit both Dreamweaver and Extension Manager, which successfully closes both programs. Then they re-launch a second time with the same message. Again I close them both and this brings me to the help service I wanted in the first place. Dreamweaver and Extension Manager always load twice.
I looked at the html code for the modified help screen, and the link in the help system runs a .JSE file. Windows shows the JSE file as a "JScript Encoded Script file" that is associated with Microsoft Windows Based Script Host. I notice that there's a similar file extension, .JS, which is a "JScript Script file" (note: not encoded) and the .JS file is associated with Dreamweaver.
So... what's going on here? Is this a problem with Extension Manager, DreamWeaver, After Effects, the Help system, registry or something else? And how do I fix it?
Details: 64-bit Windows 7 home version on a Hewlett-Packard HPE-500f. Adobe Master Collection 5.0.
Thanks all!

How to use with the "Extension Manager of Dreamweaver"

Hi,
I use dreamweaverCS6.
How can I use the flash software 'swishmax4' from 'Swishnone. com' on dreamweaverCS4 through 'extension manager'.
In case of using another flash program by 'sothink.com', the extension manager created menu folder on the menubar of dreamweaverCS6 on my computer.
And it is very convenient.
How can I extend my dreamweaver to 'swishmax4 in my computer' and create a menu folder?
Please Help Me.
At any rate, HAVE A GOOD TIME, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, AND WITH ANYONE!

Hi Tulrui,
I am afraid you cannot do it. "swishmax4" is NOT a ZXP or MXP file and it cannot be supported by Extension Manager. It has its own installer, and install the contents to Dreamweaver without Extension Manager, so Extension Manager cannot handle that. You can consult "Swishnone.com" to check if they can provide ZXP extension "swishmax4" for Dreamweaver CS6. Thanks.

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.

Updating Dreamweaver and extensions

I'm about to update my Dreamweaver (only from CS2 to CS3!). I
haven't done this for a while and remember back in the Macromedia
days that you had to keep your extensions separately as you would
lose them when you updated. Is this still the case? And if so, how
do I do this? I'm a Mac-user ... :)
thanks

Extension Manager CS5 hanging problem

Hi there,
I have this issue recently that extension manager pops up when I load Dreamweaver CS5. I've just done an update and the following message comes up:
The Extension Manager will now launch and finish updating Dreamweaver.
Extension Manager then comes up and starts Loading Extensions. However at a certain point it just freezes (see pic).
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? I am running on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks!

Reformatting files in Dreamweaver: Batch series of .dwr files (find and replace) consecutively

I have to do complicated reformatting of an entire site. It's been simplified to a series of find and replace tasks for each file. Each find and replace string has been saved as a .dwr file. Currently I have to load and execute each .dwr file.
How do you batch process or automate this task in Dreamweaver? In other words, queue up a series of .dwr files to be executed consecutively?

OK here we go.
This example, a simple Dreamweaver Command Extension, will execute two Find and Replace commands in one go. (It can be any number of Find and Replace commands.)
The first command replaces "the" and "this" with "phe" and "phis". The second command replaces <ul> ... </ul> with <ol> ... </ol>. (These of course can be any Find and Replace.)
You need two files: a HTML file (for the UI) and a Javascript file (for actions). I named them "Find and Replace Test.html" and "Find and Replace Test.js". (They can be any name.)
Find and Replace Test.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "-//Adobe//DWExtension layout-engine 10.0//dialog">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<Title>Find and Replace Test</Title>
<script src="Find and Replace Test.js"></script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form>
     <p>Are you sure?</p>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Find and Replace Test.js
function canAcceptCommand() {
    return true;
function commandButtons() {
    return new Array("Go!", "doIt()", "Cancel", "window.close()");
function doIt() {
    dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
        searchString: "th(e|is)",
        replaceString: "ph$1",
        searchWhat: "document",
        searchSource: true,
        useRegularExpressions: true
    dreamweaver.replaceAll();
    dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
        searchString: "<(/?)ul>",
        replaceString: "<$1ol>",
        searchWhat: "document",
        searchSource: true,
        useRegularExpressions: true
    dreamweaver.replaceAll();
    window.close();
Basically you can call any number of this pair of functions in the script:
dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace(findAndReplaceObject);
dreamweaver.replaceAll();
Place these HTML and JS files in this directory:
Dreamweaver App Directory/Configuration/Commands/
Then in Dreamweaver, open "Insert" window. (You need to have a HTML file open in order to make the Insert window active.) At the top of the Insert window there's a category dropdown menu ("Common" etc.). Do alt + click (ctrl + click) - then you'll see an item "Reload Extenesions" at the bottom of the dropdown. This will load this extension to DW. (Alternatively you can restart DW to load the extension.)
Now it's ready to run the Extension. Open a HTML document you want to modify. Go to "Commands" on the menu bar. At the bottom of the dropdown there should be an item "Find and Replace Test". Select and enjoy
Notes
This example is set to perform the Find and Replace on the current document. You can change the scope to the entire site, or the selected files, etc, just like in the Find and Replace dialogue box. The API doc is here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed a.html
You can use dreamweaver.setUpComplexFindReplace(xmlQueryString) command instead. xmlQueryString is basically <dwquery> ... </dwquery> in your .dwr files, you can copy from your .dwr files. However xmlQueryString needs to be one continuous string (no line breaks), which can be a pain The doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed 9.html
Command Extension general example in the doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d6ec3-7fe 6.html
I hope all of these make sense...
