Error 5 - CS4 - cannot launch InDesign

I installed Adobe Creative Suite today. It installed fine. I was then able to launch Photoshop and Illustrator, without any problem. But when I tried to launch InDesign, I got error message 5. The message says "A problem has been encountered which requires that you re-start your computer". I've restarted several times, but still get the same error message. Any suggestions as to how to get round this problem?

have you tried rebooting?
Did you make any changes tot he computer since the last time you used ID?

Cannot launch indesign CS4

When i try to launch Indesign it will not open. This error code comes up: Cannot load the CompFontMgr.InDesignPlugin plug-in. It is dependent on the Text.InDesignPlugin plug-in, which failed to load. Please check documentation for the Text.InDesignPlugin plug-in.

Error 150:30 when launching InDesign CS4

I have Photoshop and Lightroom CC, but still use InDesign CS4. The full error message is
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thankyou

Happy story.
I found this page - Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
and followed the step by step using the OSX10.7 instructions, and using "LicenseRecover.py" file (from the download you directed me to) in the terminal window .
Seems to be working fine now.
So, thankyou again Peter. I'm always blown away by the help available on forums from people like you.
PS. Can't help but feel I'm being pushed into a CC subscription for InDesign. S'pose it's inevitable.

Cannot Launch InDesign

I have been getting this error message when trying to launch the program:
"Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folder....."
What should I do?

give your user account read/write permissions to the adobe preferences folder.

Bridge CS4 Cannot launch Photoshop

When opening an image from Bridge, I get the Photoshop splash screen, then "Photoshop has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem." (If Photoshop is already running, I have no problem.) This also occurs if I attempt to open an image with Photoshop from Windows Explorer. Also, while the icon on the Windows Start Menu launches Photoshop successfully, the shortcut placed on the desktop when CS4 Creative Suite was installed also had the above problem. This would indicate the problem was created at installation.
I suspect there is a problem with the path, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Would like a global fix rather than having to change paths for every file extension pointing to PS CS4.
(Windows 7)
Your thoughts?

All the applications are checked there. However, when you click on the button to "Reveal Scripts" it takes me to an empty folder. Sounds like a problem, BUT....
I checked with someone else and their folder shows empty too, plus my Illustrator launches properly. (BTW, this is not in a corporate environment, just a personal copy on a personal computer.)
I sure appreciate your suggestions, though. Keep 'em coming!

Cannot launch Java Report Panel

I would like to use the 'Advanced' Web Intelligence editor.
Unfortunately, when I attempt to edit a WI report, I get a message that reads 'This software has already been installed on your computer. Would you like to reinstall it?'
If I allow the installation, Java 6, Update 3 is downloaded and installed. I restart the browser. Attempting to edit the WI report generates the installation message.
If I don't allow the installation, I get an error that reads 'Cannot launch Java Report Panel, please make sure you have installed a Java virtual machine.'.
It never gets out of this installation loop.
At one point, the Advance editor worked, then something changed.
The Java Control Panel indicates that I have JRE versions 1.6.0_03 and 1.6.0._20 installed (in the Java Applet Runtime Settings). In addition, versions 1.4.2_04, 1.4.2_07, 1.4.2_12, and 1.6.0_03 are listed in the JNLP Runtime settings.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem and I don't see an answer here. I have uninstalled every instance of java and restarted my computer, then installed the one suggested here: Cannot launch Java Report Panel, please make sure you have installed a Java virtual machine. (the Java Virtual Machine was a link). Restarted again, tried again, same error. On the sun page, I tested my java installation and it works fine. I have checked that java is enabled in both IE and Firefox and I still get this error in either browser. I am using Windows XP.
Upon comparing my computer with my coworker's java configurations, we found that she has a certificate called "Business Objects America" and I don't have that. Could that be the problem, and if so, where can I get that certificate? There was no active X question as I would have expected to see asking to run active X or not. I can't find any certificate downloads on your site at all.
Please advise ASAP because I need to use this Web Intelligence Reporting and I cannot get in.
Thank you.

Error when launching indesign CC

When launching indesign CC a Windows error appears saying that there is an error and the program will close. I've delete all the fonts but the error appears the same... I have windows 8 and I've been using the trial version without problems until today when it has expired. I've just buyed the license and the error has appeared.

Cannot open InDesign CS4

I cannot open InDesign CS4 all it does it show errors and then closes. These are the errors I get.

If you have the serial number with you then you can download the trial version of ID CS4 from Prodesigntools website: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html. If you had a CS4 Suite then download the appropriate suite and if you had point product i.e. just InDesign then download from the links available for ID CS4 only. You have to be on the trial page of Adobe.com to be able to download from the links. Replace the http://www.prodesigntools.com/ with http://trials2.adobe.com/ <rest of the link here>.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

Error when launching indesign trial cs5

When I've launched indesign. I'm getting this "error" message:
"The BUZZWORD ACCESS.APLN plug-in conflicts with BUZZWORD ACCESS.RPLN. Try removing one of the two plug-ins from the Plug-Ins folder and restart InDesign".
I coudn't find the files which I had to delete one from.
Does somebody know where to find these files? (I'm using windows 7)
greets,
Sjoerd

I found one of these in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5 Debug\Required\Buzzword Access.rpln
I couldn't find the apln version.
This might sound simple, why not just search your system for these files?
In Win7 just bring up a default file browser window and use the search box in the top right with the magnifying glass.
Also, it might be a good idea to re-install InDesign.

Launch Error - This file cannot be launched

Hi all,
I renamed a class file in a flash build and now every time I try to debug my project (cmd+F11) I get an error window saying Launch Error - This file cannot be launched.
I have tried wiping the project and moving the files in to a new one and also restarting FB4 but with no luck. I have also tried setting up a brand new blank project and this will not launch either.
The problem seems to only be with Flash projects as a new Flex project runs ok.
I am running Flash Builder 4 , Flash CS5 on a Mac 10.6.4 and debugging in Google Chrome 7.0.517.41
Any suggestions?
Cheers

There is no adl listed in my list of active processes in Activity Monitor. I have tried rebooting my machine, restarting all my software and projects and cleaning my projects. No luck yet.
If I just switch to flash and run the fla directly it works fine so it must be Flex specific.
Cheers for the suggestionsso far . Keep em coming if you have them

HT1339 Error: This game cannot be launched. Ipod will not respond

I have an error message on my iPod classic. It states, Error: This game cannot be launched. And now my iPod wheel will not respond. I am unable to shut it down or connect it to my iTunes.

Try a hard reset. This procedure does not erase any content stored on the device. It is similar to rebooting your PC. To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website. Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website. Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

Open up your site definition (double-click on the site name in the File panel or choose Site > Manage Sites > Edit) and go to the Remote Info category. There, click Use Firewall (if it isn't already selected) - press Test to try the default firewall settings. If that doesn't work, click Firewall Settings. You'll see two relevant settings about 2/3 down - Firewall host and Firewall port. If Firewall port is 21, there probably is something blocking the port.
On Windows XP, you may have the Windows Firewall installed and blocking. Here's how you get to it:
To open Windows Firewall
1.
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2.
In the control panel, click Windows Security Center.
3.
Click Windows Firewall.
Once you have that open, you'll need to set Dreamweaver as an exception to blocking:
On the Exceptions tab, click Add Program.
In the list of programs, click the name of the program (Dreamweaver) that you want to add, and then click OK. If the name of your program is not in the list of programs, click Browse to locate the Dreamweaver.exe in the Program Files folder and then click OK.
Hope this helps - Joe
