EXE on a CD won't launch a PDF

Hi - When building and testing my project I was able to
launch PDFs in a separate browser window. The PDFs are in a folder
within the project. When I burn the project on a CD, the Mac
Projector opens Acrobat Reader in a Safari window and shows the
PDF...as expected. On the Win XP side, the EXE performs fine except
for this feature.
I'm using a link in some text to do this:
<a href=\"SP/_PDFs/p579sp.pdf \" target=\"_blank\">.
How can I get this to work on Windows the way it works on
Mac?
TIA your experienced input.

Library CDs and DVDs get a real workout so your diagnosis is likely right. My wife works at our public library and they have a disk cleaner/buffer on hand becasue of the way disks get treated by some patrons.
Can you see scratches on the disk? Will the disk work in other computers or devices?
AS for you OS being too old, we would have to know the subject of the CD and whether it requires you to use an application that is on the disk for access to the data

Adobe Reader XI won't launch/read pdfs. No error message.

All of a sudden, reader xi wont launch, read pdfs, or download pdfs online. When I double click the program shortcut (or pdf I want to open) the mouse makes the "loading" animation....but nothing happens. No error message, just refuses to work. Re-installing temporarily fixed the problem. However, the next time i turn on my machine the problem returns! I'm at the point where I have to reinstall adobe everytime I turn on the computer .
Any advice would be welcome.
I'm on windows 7 btw

You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

Xcelsius exe won't launch - Entry Point Not Found message given

-Xcelsius Build number (Help>About Xcelsius): <not accessible>

I have uninstalled and re-installed Xcelsius with the same results.
Also, when I open Crystal Reports 2008, the "Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 - Software Manager" opens and shows an update available - SP2. When I try to install the update, it downloads and then displays a message the this update is only available for Crystal Reports 2008 SP1. I believe that is my current version.
After some research, I believe my CR Runtime app may be a different version than what Xcelsius.exe is expecting, but I don't know how to check or fix that. Any help is appreciated.

Hi
I think I've managed to fix this error. I compared the TreeBtnExtDll.dll in my Xcelsius directory on the machine that wasn't working and one that was and found that the broken machine was using an older and smaller version of TreeBtnExtDll.dll. 89k and a date in 2008 I think. So I copied my newer version which was 109 k and dated 11/2009 into the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius directory of the broken machines and now xcelsius appears to be working fine.
I had lots of trouble installing the SP3 release because of the media issues so maybe the install wasn't complete.
Anyway, I hope this helps you

Acrobat X intermittently won't launch, multiple Acrobat.exe processes hanging in task manager

Apologies if this is in the wrong community area - I was unsure where it belongs.
This is an intermittent issue, but does happen several times a day.
Regardless of what method is used to launch Acrobat (double-clicking a PDF, clicking the shortcut in the taskbar, selecting Acrobat from the start menu), often the application won't launch. Upon investigation, task manager shows multiple instances of Acrobat.exe, although the application is not running (see the image below). Ending all Acrobat.exe processes does allow Acrobat to launch.
Any thoughts as to what might be causing this, as well as a more permanent fix? The workaround of constantly ending multiple processes is becoming cumbersome.
We are running Acrobat X Pro in Windows 7. I also have several CC 2014 apps installed (as well as a couple of earlier versions required for plugin functionality).

This happens all the time in my company with several installs of Acrobat.
The only way to fix this for us is to end each process in Task Manager as you have pointed out.
It is very time consuming in our workflow as we each operator deals with hundreds of PDFs daily, and has to do this End Process procedure several times a day.
We have done several tests and nothing seems to stop this from happening.

CSS 8.3 in Win7 won't launch - error re: css_admin.exe Entry Point not found... Help

New install of Win7 / all Win7 drivers installed & working
Except... during launch of CSS 8.3 (w & w/o patch installed - tried both ways), an error window pops up with:
css_admin.exe - Entry Point Not Found (title bar)
(Red X in window)
The procedure entry point
??0LocalFileFormatTarget@xercesc_2_7@@QAE@QBQAVMemo
ryManager@1@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link
library xerces-c_2_7.dll.
?? What is all this stuff mean ??
(the underscore is NOT present in the window, by the way...)
HELP! Anyone have ANY idea what the above lingo is re CSS and why it won't launch without popping up a window with this error, whatever it is??
I'm days into this reinstall and this is my "last" hangup / called support and they won't touch it since i didn't BUILD it with Windows 7 from them... just don't get this mindset. Only spent 5 digits (around $20,000 +) with Lenovo so far last year / may be the last dollar - I've run into many issues with support lately, for one the T61p I have has had 2 sys boards swapped, processor, 2 keyboards (after "loose screws from sys board swap" were found rolling around inside - yes, loose) among many other issues / only TP I've ever had issues with / want to stay with them, but if I have to fight city hall to swap out a lemon, heading out into the wild blue.

Try the following user tip:

Itunes 7.0.1 won't launch and freezes my pc

Didn't want to hijack some other topic as I don't seem to have the exact same problems as people are describing.
My symptoms
- When launching Itunes.exe first time I get the license page, as soon as I click agree nothing happens, and my pc won't launch any applications. . The desktop is responding to every click though. It won't even restart/shutdown, only thing working is a hard restart on the pc case.
The itunes.exe instance stays on the process list, and I'm unable to close it.
- When launching after the first time I get the exact same, just without the license page (so I figure that info was saved).
- Quicktime launches perfectly
I'm running Avast antivir (haven't seen that mentioned anywhere, to be the cause of trouble)
Not running any firewall app, apart from win xp (sp2) firewall.
Now I've tried all the stuff I've seen suggested on these boards I believe, I'll just summarize what I've done so far:
- Uninstalled/reinstalled (multiple times)
- Cleaned as suggested
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
- Ran ccleaner to remove a blank entry in startup config
and still no dice.
My startup table looks like this (a bit crowded)

just to add, Itunes is uninstalled atm, that's why it's not on the list.
As you can see I've got a Nvidia gfx card, and I've updated the driver to 91.47 without any luck.
I saw you asked in another thread about K-Lite codec pack and I've installed version 2.71 full.
So, where do I go from here? everything worked perfectly with itunes 6 but since 7 came out I haven't been able to update my ipod :/

Tried uninstalling K-lite codec pack, ran the ccleaner once again, installed itunes with avg disabled, all in vain.
I would appreciate if anyone had any ideas as to what to do next.

Premiere Elements 11 won't launch

G'day,
I downloaded the trial version of PRE11 a few weeks ago, but I couldn't get it to run. Upon launch I get the welcome screen with two choices, to launch the Organizer or the Video Editor, but neither of these actually start. It seems as it is trying though, as I see a scrolling line below my choice after clicking it. No error code or anything like it, it simply won't start (and I don't see any process starting either).
Nevertheless, a few days ago I bought PRE11 (Win/Mac DVD, English) and installed it. Exactly the same behaviour as with the trial, apart from one thing. When I try to lanuch the Video Editor I get the licence agreement. After agreeing, it's the same thing though, nothing happens.
I've read this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4773135) and tried to see if I had any of the symptoms described, or if any of the suggested solutions worked. So far, no luck. I tried Large_Donkey's solution (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4893868#4893868) with the msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll files, but it didn't make any difference. Same thing with VDOsurfer's reply (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4903592#4903592) I also tried primarykeytech's suggestion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4905283#4905283) and downloaded Dependency Walker and ran both Premiere Elements 11.exe and Premiere Elements.exe. At first, it reported that IEShims.dll and gpscv.dll was missing/couldn't be loaded, so I added these to the Premiere Elements folder. Then I got a message (still while running Premiere Elements.exe in Dependency Walker) saying that sysntfy.dll was missing, so I added this one as well to the Premiere Elements folder. After this, I still get three messages in Dependency Walker, but no further description on which files it can't find:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And none of these changes made any difference, I tried to launch the Video Editor and/or Organizer, but it's the same thing; won't launch, no error message. I've now resetted everything back to the way it was on installation, and tried to continue finding any solution.
Some specs, even if maybe not all of these are relevant. If any other specs are needed, just inform me.
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2
CPU: Intel i7 950 3,06GHz
PSU: Corsair HX 650W
RAM: Corsair XMS 12GB DDR3 2000MHz
Graphics: Nvidia/Gigabyte GTX 460

Drives: 2x500GB WD Black HDD (programs and data), 1x120GB Intel X25-M SSD (OS)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I tried the blacklist approach by adding a "blacklist.txt" file to the VST plugins folders I have, but to no avail. I also read the last post you made in the "Failure of Premiere to Launch - One Possibility VST's" thread, with the answers from Adobe Engineering. As that post was made almost 2 years ago, I somehow think this wouldn't be an issue in PrE 11 anymore?
Anyway, while trying to launch Premiere Elements.exe ~200 times the last 24h, I've not noticed anything strange in Event Viewer, no errors or warnings connected to the launch of PrE (or, for that matter, no errors or warnings at all during the time I try to launch the program). One thing I did notice, though, is that the process Premiere Elements 11.exe actually starts (I chose not to display the welcome screen every time, but to launch the Video Editor right away) but then quickly terminates. Utually it manage to get between 15-20MB of memory before it crashes and terminate the process, only takes 1 or 2 seconds from launch to termination.
Slowly losing my hope to actually discover the cause, as I'm shooting in the dark evey time (not getting any error messages or hints on what actually fails). Really needed to use PrE this week, maybe have to find some free alternative on the interwebs.
Regards Henrik
Edit: Searching deeper on the Adobe forums regarding VST scanning issues with PrPro/E, and it baffles me how long this error seems to have been going on, even if it's not 100% certain that is the error in my case.
Edit2: Once again a shot in the dark, but I'm thinking my troubles may be due to multiple hard drives? As things are scattered over 3 discs (OS on one, programs on the second one and personal data on the third one) this might cause some path/reference issues? I was thinking this since Depencency Walker gives me the following error messages:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And it also states that it can't find IESHIMS.DLL and GPSVC.DLL (a road I already have been down earlier). This got me thinking PrE can't find the correct files from where it is installed (E:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Elements 11). On the other hand, I'm getting the exact same error messages on Photoshop CS5 (which runs fine), and the same two dll files seems to be missing. Even tried running a few other programs that work, such as games, though Depencency Walker, and even they seems to miss these dll files.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Won't launch

My motherboard died. I put a new motherboard in and have been reinstalling the OS (Windows 7 Professional) and reinstalling all of the programs. I successfully re-downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and entered my license key and it installs. When I launched it, it came up to the welcome screen, but when I try to open the Organizer or the Editor, it won't launch! I switched to startup in the Organizer versus the Welcome Screen and now it won't launch at all!
I uninstalled the program and tried reinstalling. It installed, but the program will not launch!

Hi,
Try starting the two applications directly by creating shortcuts to the following files.
Organizer: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
If you need help with creating the shortcuts then come back and I will explain how to do it.

Itunes 10.1 won't launch on Windows 7 x64

itunes version 10.1 for Windows 7 64-bit won't launch after install. I tried launching it under a different user. I tried disabling my antivirus software. I tried using the desktop shortcut, Start menu shortcut, and itunes.exe. The Event Viewer does not log any errors or warnings during installation or when trying to launch the app. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app too. When trying to launch the app, no messages are received, absolutely nothing happens. I had the previous version of itunes installed on the same hardware configuration. During installation, no warnings or errors are received. I checked possible conflicts under msconfig.exe, but only a few apps are checked to start at startup.

When trying to launch the app, no messages are received, absolutely nothing happens.
Some questions in the interest of narrowing in on possible culprits with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) If your QuickTime seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?

Adobe 9 standard won't launch

I have Adobe 9 standard (9.4). I have been using it for several years. Suddenly, it won't launch. Attempting to launch it results in several error messages: "missing file C:\dell\N878J"", Missing "Acrodist.exe"' and Adobe XMP.dll is missing.
Since this program was pre-installed, I do not have recource to the installation disk. I was going to install a trial verson of Acrobat Pro XI but i cannot uninstall the older Acrobat 9--which is required, according to the Acrobat XI installer.
I tried Acrofix. It returned a 07 error code.
Can you tell me where to get copies of the missing files? or how to either reinstall or remove the older Acrobat 9.4--there is no installer or uninstaller in the Acrobat 9 file.
Thanks.

I recommend the Acrobat forums. CreatePDF is something quite different. You should also contact the PC supplier for your install disk, it's their job to provide it to you. Good luck!

Windows XP iTunes won't launch (using Parallels Desktop 4.0)

After installing latest version it won't launch at all.
I get an alert with a red cross that says:
"The itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
I am using Parallels Desktop 4.0, with Windows XP SP2.
I've uninstalled all iTunes files, and reinstalled. Still nothing.
Before the update, iTunes would launch, but it said that the library couldn't be used because of access privileges.
Someone please help...

I get the error message "itunes.exe has caused errors in windows. Error log created. Windows will now close." I've tried fixing iTunes using the "repair" option in itunes.exe, uninstalling and reinstalling both QuickTime and iTunes, and am now out of options.
Help, please!

Flash CS3 won't launch after installation

Any Ideas
I've just installed CS3 Web standard on 19 PC's ( Win XP SP2
2 GB RAM) but for some reason Flash won't launch on some of these
computers. When you try and launch Flash you get as far
initializing fonts and then closes down.
It's quiet strange Flash works on some of the 19 Computers
which I must add are all identical and have the same software
installed on them.
Has anyone else had any issues with Flash?

Well, it can get worse: my downloaded version will not
install (Vista, run program as an administrator, even ruuning in
compatibility mode). No matter what I do, after clicking setup.exe,
there is a dead silence. No new process is launched.
