Extracting additional files, where? (CS3)

I am running AECS3 at work. We had to put in a new hard drive, which meant wiping out AE and installing it on the new HDD. However, I kept getting an error message that there were additional files that need to be installed, and all of my CC effects are gone. So, I had my IT guy download the file with all of the effects (837MB). However, I don't know where to extract the files. I tried both Support Files>Presets and Support Files>Plug-ins, but neither works. I looked on the Adobe site and couldn't find any info that would help. Could someone please tell me where to extract them to?
Thanks in advance

I'm running Windows XP. The software was correctly installed as an administrator (since this is a large corporation, the IT security requires that), however not all of the effects were installed due to some nonsensical decision on Adobe's part to make some of the effects a separate install then not provide adequate documentation.
The exact error message I receive is "Additional File Formats and Effects Installation: After Effects was unable to install additional file formats and effects. Please reinstall from the original installer with a serial number."
Note that it doesn't matter if we uninstall then reinstall or try another install over the top of the existing install. That's because the missing effects are NOT included with the original installer. This includes ALL of the CC effects as well as Keylight and probably some others. There is also content missing from Encore. This happened previously when we had to reformat the old drive about 6 months ago. However my IT guy doesn't remember where or how he installed the additional effects because he supports about 1000 people every day so remembering something like this after that period of time is next to impossible.
I extracted the files to my desktop and here's the file structure (I'm not sure if it'll help, but maybe it's worth a shot) Desktop\Adobe CS3\After Effects\Adobe CS3\payloads\AdobeAfterEffects8All\AdobeAfterEffects8All1.cab and the .cab folder contains a whole bunch of files. If I hit Select All and right click on them I get an extract option. But where would I extract them to? There are so many that I really don't want to have go back in and try to figure out which ones to remove if I put them in the wrong place.
Adobe documentation regarding this is either nonexistent or buried somewhere

Photoshop CS3 extended error on Installation("A Problem occurred while extracting some files....

Hi guys. I dont know if youve experienced this but I get this error whenever I try to install Photoshop CS3 Extended. The error popup message goes like this:
"A Problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
Any idea? :(
thanks in advanced.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.
where is the file to download it directly?
With CS3, there might not be one any longer. CS4 has been out for some time. You might need to contact Adobe Customer Service for resolution. I know that they offer replacement media for a small fee, but do not know how far back they go with the versions.
For me, I always purchase the full discs, and from Adobe, so I have little experience with downloaders and with the downloadable files. Maybe someone else can offer you more direct assistance.
Good luck,

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists." It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
What specific Window operating system are you using?
Let us go through the usual drill...
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
computer as Premiere Elements 13?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

After Effects was unable to install additional file formats and effects

... Please reinstall from the original installer with a serial number."
The title and first line of this post are the error I receive when I open After Effects CS3. All of the CC effects are missing, as well as content for Encore, which is also part of Master Collection (the suite I have), so it must be an Master Collection error. Does anyone know where I can get the addtional content and the installer?

The cached files would be in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers in one of the directories with the funny cryptic numbers as their name. Since the archives are protected by the install key, you will have no way to extract the files manually, though. I tend to think that it is indeed the MC trial that is giving you troubles. Did you run the CS4 Clean Script when you uninstalled it? If not, that might explain it, even more so when the trial timed out. Certain features will then be locked forever after, unfortunately. Only uninstalling, running the clean script and then reinstalling with the serial will give you the full features then. Also download the manual update packages for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Encore and Adobe Media Encoder from the Download section. Installing those may also fix that problem since it should make the apps install additional MPEG support. As another option, you might try to create a new user account with administrator rights and launch AE. Sometimes this also works, since it creates a new user branch in your registry and just ignores existing info for some stuff which may make the post-install install kick in and finish its work.

Additional file usage

Hi all,
When we create a orginal application file in a DIR , we can create an additional file with original application file. Such additional file can be template or layout or picture.
I am able to create an addtional file with original application file. How to view this addtional file in DMS?
Also for what purpose we can use this application ?
Thanks,

Trouble opening .inx files in CS3 - links randomly replaced with foo.jpg

I have to move a lot of CS4 InDesign files to CS3, and I often run into a bizarre problem. After opening an .inx file in InDesign CS3, sometimes perfectly normal PDF, JPG, EPS and AI files will mysteriously be replaced with a linked file called "foo.jpg" that InDesign thinks is missing (it always reports the path as "c:foo.jpg"). I then have to go figure out what the original file was actually called and where it was saved and relink it manually.
There is no rhyme or reason to when linked files don't come over - our logo is saved in one location and linked in every single piece we make, yet sometimes it links fine when imported into CS3 and sometimes it doesn't. Going back to CS4 and exporting a new .inx file never works - a file that will not link correctly in CS3 will never show up correctly.
It always thinks "foo" is a .jpg file, even if the original link was actually a .pdf, .eps or whatever.
Any ideas? I'm perplexed.

Smells like a bug to me. Did you try reporting it?
What happens if you search the incp file for "foo"? Does it find
anything?
When the vendor opens the file, what is the link name on his end?

How to extract .bin file on mac?

Dear Team,
How to extract .bin file on mac os ? please help me
regards,
kalai

Although the link posted by the other responder shows .bin files to be a copy of RAW CD or DVD data in my experience most .bin files are some type of configuration file mainly used with internet routers and other pieces of PC/Networking equipment.
Just where did this .bin file come from and what is it associated with that you are trying to open on your Mac?
If it is a router configuration file that you downloaded you don't open it on the Mac. You log into your router and go to the update firmware section and browse to that file stored on your Mac hard drive and let the router handle opening and updated the routers firmware.

Saving previously converted InDesign CS1 files in CS3

My company recently upgraded from CS1 to CS3 (skipping CS2 altogether). I've noticed that after I open some CS1 layouts previously converted to CS3, when I hit <Save>, I get a <Save As> type dialog box where I either have to rename the file, or overwrite the file. This doesn't happen with layout files created originally in CS3. Is there some setting in CS3 that is constantly forcing this <Save As> type behavior on previously converted CS1 layouts? It's more of an inconvenience, than an actual problem, but annoying nonetheless.

I understand converting/re-writing the file format to the updated (in this case, CS3) format, and am well used to this process from older InDesign file formats. What I'm experiencing is this: (1) I open up a CS1 layout file in CS3; (2) CS3 converts the layout; (3) I go to Save the file & CS3 prompts me with a <Save As> type dialog box; (4) I then either overwrite the existing CS1 layout file, rename the new CS3 layout or save it to a new location; (5) I close out the new CS3 layout. This is all expected behavior. However, when I go back later to re-open the newly "converted" CS3 layout file, the first time I go to <Save> the new changes to the file, I'm AGAIN prompted with a <Save As> type dialog. The file's already been converted to the CS3 format, so shouldn't it just automatically <Save> the file changes in a normal manner?

File adapter: Additional files option and Archive option

Hi all!
I configure file adapter to take file with two additional files. Additional files is optional. Also I configure to processing mode to archive.
So when I put all three files in folder everything works fine - all files are archived.
Problems begins when I put not all additional files for example:
1) when I put one main file and the FIRST additional file, files are archived, in communication channel monitoring i see error in message java.lang.NullPointerException, but message with payload transfers to IE successful.
2) when I put one main file and the SECOND additional file, the main file archived, the SECOND file NOT archived and stayed in source directory. In CC monitoring I see error message java.lang.NullPointerException, but message with payload transfers to IE successful.
Please provide me with some solution, because I need to archive all files.
Maxim.

in file sender CC, thr is option to archive and error file store also..
1)under processing mode - archive.. give the path thr..
2) To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, select Archive Faulty Source Files

Access the files through the class getResourceAsStream function or sign your app using the documention in the javafx deployment guide or at the net beans site.

How to extract jar files into a folder in the local disk and then import?

hai forum,
will any one tell me how should i extract jar files into a location in my project folder and then how to import the class files for further usage?
Thank you .

I will be graeateful if u could explain this a bit.
Do you want to say that i should craete instance of
ZipEntry like this
InputStream is =
jarFile.getInputStream(entry);
File inputFile = new
File("C:\\myclasses.data");
FileInputStream fis=
new FileInputStream(inputFile);No! You need to write the entry using FileOutputStream copying all the bytes of the ZipEntry InputStream to the FileOutputStream.
>
What about adding into a directory?Do i have to
create on dynamically?Yes! You can use File.mkdirs(). For example
File ofile = new File("your directory where you will place the zip entries" + zipEntry.getName());
ofile.getParentFile().mkdirs();

Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization

Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization
I have couple of questions regarding data extraction.
1.     If you have Data Source a Flat File e.g. Excel file I know that you have to create Data Source at BW side. How do you upload updates, by selecting Delta Update when executing next Data Load? Do you ever u201Cconvertu201D this Excel file into Application Tables to become SAP Source 
2.     Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
3.     I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
4.     What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update or
Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
Am I right? What is most common method and why?
5.     If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
THANKSSSSSSSSSs

Hi,
1. If you have Data Source a Flat File e.g. Excel file I know that you have to create Data Source at BW side. How do you upload updates, by selecting Delta Update when executing next Data Load? Do you ever u201Cconvertu201D this Excel file into Application Tables to become SAP Source
Once you create Datasource for A flat file extraction then it is file source system specific hence you cont change to Application table source Data source
In info package you can change the source as application server instead of desktop no need to change the DS
2. Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
When we don't find any standard extractor then we can go for Generic(if i want information sales along with finance information in a data source then generally we dont get standard one hence we can go for generic DS)
Check the below link for More about generic DS .
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Generic+Extraction
for Delta capturing you can use
Timestamp(if the table has time stamp filed so it can stamp the last changed record in that table hence it is easy to get delta based on the time stamp)
Calday- (If the table doesn't have the Timestamp filed then search for Calday where you can stamp the delta based on the date when documents are changed )
Numericpointer : If the table doesn't above both then we go for this option where you can the numeric value change stamp )
3. I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
Generic datasource nothing but we extracting data directly from the database table without any interface between the application/systems
4. What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update or
Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
Am I right? What is most common method and why?
Correct
5. If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
Once you add the new field to structure(DS) you will get the data as on date onwards not historical data hence what is the concept of setup table ( delta records come from the Delta Que not from the setup table )
If you want histaric data to new field then you need to setp table deletion ...etc...
Hope it is clear..

Plug-in's additional files

Hello all,
I'm sure this is a no-brainer but I'm gonna ask it anyway: Where is the best place to store/retrieve any additional files that my plug-in might need? I assumed I could keep things like that in my plug-in's bundle (I'm on Mac OS X, CS5) but I haven't found an easy way to 'ask Illustrator' for a path to that location.
Is there a rule of thumb regarding this sort of thing?
Thanks!
-W

We use the API to get the plugin directory, then attach to that the name of the bundle (name.aip) and whatever subdirectories you need past that point.
Take a look at SPFiles.h (SDK/illustratorapi/pica_sp/SPFiles.h) and the SPPlatformFileSpecification struct.
I can't post all our code, but here is a snippet...
SPPlatformFileSpecification fileSpec;
sSPPlugins->GetPluginFileSpecification(sPluginRef, &fileSpec);
From the fileSpec you can get the directory, etc.
sSPPlugins is a SPPluginsSuite struct and sPluginRef is, well, an SPPluginRef that can be constructed from an SPMessageData struct. See any of the AllocatePlugin functions in the SDK examples on how to create an SPPluginRef.

I extract all the pages from the portfolio into single PDFs
I open the first PDF
Click on Tools
Under Forms, I select More From Options
I select Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet
The pop-up box allows you to add all of the additional files that you made from the portfolio
Click on them then click Export
It will ask for a file name and place to save it.
