InDesign Trial won't open

I just downloaded and installed the InDesign trial with no problems, until the very end when I hit the "Launch" button, it showed the pink intro thing for a bit and then just quits and says "InDesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The same thing happens if I try and start it from the Start menu. I tried restarting the computer, and uninstalled and re-installed it twice.
Using Windows XP.
Any ideas?

It says:
installer program cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred.
licensing program cpsid_83578r3: Error, "Validate license at Pre-chrome" when installing- Creative Suite 5.
The first error popped up when I was downloading it the first time, but I've already uninstalled and re-downloaded it since then so I don't think that's it.
Searching for the licensing error gives me this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/install-log-error-validate-license.html which is pretty much not helpful.

You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins

InDesign CS6 won't open files

InDesign CS6 won't open some files. No error message, simply returns to previous 'Open...' view. I've tried restarting, rebooting, resetting my InDesign preferences and re-unzipping the original zip file. I can still open previously worked on files, though. (Even in the second folder of unzipped files, it's the same files that I can and cannot open.) Any ideas? InDesign

Ooh – I just had another look to check that they are CS6 files. The are, but each file size is 0 bytes – think that may be the problem! Thanks again both for responding so quickly. :-)
That sounds like you have the resource fork for a Mac-generated .indd file. Check to see if there is another file with the same name but a real file size in the zip archive. I suspect the "real" file (the data fork) is being unzipped first, then the resource fork is overwriting without warning and you could solve it by extract9ng the files manually.

InDesign files won't open with double click

InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

InDesign Mac Trial Won't Open

Hi, I was attempting a Mac trial of InDesign, but it won't open without crashing. I deleted and re-downloaded and installed, but it still won't open. Just crashes after attempting to open. Can you help me?

We're seeing quite a few reports that the installer is failing to set the permissions correctly on the preference folders. Log in with a new user on the Mac and see if ID will launch.

My IDML file saved in Indesign CC won't open in Indesign 6

Hello. I am on trial of Indesign CC, and exported a file to an IDML trying to open it on the school computer since they only have previous versions of Indesign.
When I try to open my file that I worked on at home in Indesign CC, it won't open in Indesign 6.
The pop up message I get is "Cannot open the file xxx.idml." Adobe Indesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
The file IS saved as IDML
The file isn't open in another application
I don't know how I can fix this issue. Could anybody help me out? I've tried both .indd and .idml saved under CC, but it refuses to open in prior versions.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, I too am having this issue. Did you get anywhere with resolving the problem?
Many thanks in advance
Mark

InDesign CS5 won't open

I just received my Adobe CS5 and have installed it. Every program opens fine with the exception of inDesign. I had a trial version of inDesign CS4, but have uninstalled in incase there were any issues. I'm not sure why it won't open.
I've installed any applicable updates for the program as well as my Acrobat Pro to the newest version (9.something)
The software is closing down at the point where it says "Starting up Service Registry"
Any ideas on what could be going on?
I'm completely new to this software in general, but I thought I'd go to the forums and see if there was anyone out there who could help.
FYI:
I'm using a MacBook with Version 10.5.8 software
2.4 GHz processor
with 2Gb 667MHz memory
Thank you

Indesign CS4 won't open or create new files. Why???

I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?
Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4. CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open. I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system". The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

InDesign CC won't open without Plug-ins? Please help.

Downloaded InDesign CC on a Mac OSX. Worked in it perfectly for a day. Next day InDesign won't open. Says I need a bunch of plug-ins it can't find: AppUI, LinksUI and several more.
Deleted InDesign, restarted, tried to re-download it again, now I can't even download it!
Where do I get these? What do I do?
Thank you!

Hi Peter, Thank you for the suggestion. I just tried in Chrome and Firefox and got the same results: "Download error: please try again, or contact customer support."
(I do have Adobe Application Manager running).
Everything worked fine yesterday. But not today. And nothing changed between yesterday and today.
Any other ideas?

InDesign CC won't open due to permissions

As a troubelshooting step
Try setting up a new user and try InDesign there.

A3D trial won't open

Hello all. I downloaded the trial version and it appeared to completely install and place the icons on the desktop screen. But the program won't open when I click to start. The hourglass appears when I click but stops after several seconds and nothing happens after that. There's plenty of memory available on my C drive (15 more gig's) and 512 meg of RAM. I had previously run the trial of Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro-----but that and my version 5 were uninstalled prior to downloading the A3D trial. Could my previous trial on 7 Pro be blocking me out of this new trial??? I have run virus scans, disk cleanup, defrag and restarts. Computer is a fairly new Sony VGN-A190 laptop running XP home edition with service PAK 2. All other programs and functions seem to be normal.

I can not believe this!
I do have the same problem!
I do have to format my hard disk to get this bulls.... of my system?
Adobe wants to sell a product for a over $1000 and says "thank you" if it does not work because it is buggy "this now cost you some thousand Dollar to rebuild your system"
That can not be true! There has to be somebody with a feeling for decency in bussines how is willing to help here!
Please!!!!

Indesign CS3 won't open

My Indesign CS3 suddenly started giving me problems when I tried to open it. I have used it for a year or so with no problem. Now, when I click to open the program, I get the moving donut (on Vista) that indicates processing is taking place, but after about 5 or so seconds, it just disappears and there is no further response from the computer. If I repeat this it will sometimes open (I have had it happen after about 5 to 30 attempts) and then the program runs fine.
I discovered, however, that each time I click to open, a process is started (taking up about 11 MB of RAM (but no application appears in the Windows Task Manager). After mutiple attempts at trying to open the program it starts to run out of RAM and I have to close some of the processes to continue.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening and how I might overcome it? All the other modules in my CS3 suite run fine. I'm running Vista Ultimate with full updates and CS3 V 5.0.4.

Hi Matt,
I'm sorry, but I haven't got a fix. I declined the suggestion to do a System Restore since I don't want to spend the time (and risk the possibility of other problems occurring) without a more convincing diagnosis. I have been burned by such suggestions in the past when trying options without a good account of why it might help.
My current work-around is to keep trying to open by repeating the double-click on the Indesign icon until it opens. This means double-clicking, then waiting a while, and if it doesn't open, repeating it until it does. After InDesign (finally) opens, I open the Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del), go to the 'processes' tab, search for all the Indesign processes that are NOT the one that is open then stop each of them one by one. You can tell which are the ones that are not open since their indication of memory is around 11K and it is unchanging. The open program takes up more memory than that and it changes.
Sometimes I have had to try to open Indesign with more than 30 tries, but eventually it opens. I have found that lately it opens after only 1 to 5 tries.
I'm surprised that they haven't diagnosed this problem yet - and set up a fix, but until this happens I guess I will continue this way until something more dependable comes up.
Regards,
OldTymer2

InDesign CC Trial won't open files

I have been using the trial for about 2 weeks. We work on files off a server at work, and our server went down today. This caused InDesign to crash and when I reopened it, it would no longer open any files. These are files I created using the trial and was just working on earlier today, and now I get the message "Cannot open the file xxxxx. Adobe Indesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
I have already tried the following:
Restarted my computer
Restarted InDesign
Ran Creative Cloud updates
Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign CC trial
Had a coworker open the files on his CC trial (worked fine)
Can anyone help?
