Installation failed - Technical Communication Suite 3.0

Hello,
I need to install TSC 3.0 to a domain Windows 7 Pro 64-bit computer (Lenovo ThinkCenter M92p Tiny specifically).
Each time I try to install it, I get these errors:

ERROR: DW046: Following Conflicting processes were running -

I do not see javaw.exe in Task Manager or Startup (msconfig) to disable. I had Java 6 Update 31 installed on this computer, and tried disabling the Java Runtime, but that didn't help. I updated to 8-31 and now I can't even disable the JRE anyway. I have tried rebooting and retrying, and have been searching these forums. I tried a support chat but was directed to create this post.

Hello,
I did check Task Manager for Javaw.exe, including processes, and did not see it there.
For another update, I just successfully installed RoboHelp (one of the two programs from TCS3 required) on the destination computer.
So the only remaining issue is javaw.exe, which only seems to matter when installing or uninstalling the version of FrameMaker that comes with TSC3. Let's focus the troubleshooting on that issue, as I still need to remove it from one computer and install it on another. I did make sure to run as admin today when I tried to install with the whole suite checked (checks next to TCS and the two specific apps, not literally each app as he has some already) and that made no difference.
I appreciate everyone's assistance and input!

Installation of Technical Communications Suite components fail

I've migrated from a laptop with Windows XP to a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Post migration I re-installed Technical Communications Suite 4. During the installation I get an error that Presenter failed to install because PPT 32 bit is not present. Additionally, Captivate cannot create swf files. Please help resolve these issues.

Alisha in Adobe support was able to resolve the problem:
Browse to the following location and open the file mentioned : C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6\AdobeCaptivate.ini
Add the following tag to the file : Use32BitJVMForPublish = 1 (as shown in the image below)
Also, do the same to the file in the following location : C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\AdobeCaptivate.ini.
This seems to have worked.

Installation failed - Technical Comunication Suite 2

How can I manually uninstall the Suite?

Via your Control Panel – Add/Remove Programs. For really heavy-duty removal, use an uninstaller like Revouninstaller

Application Manager fails to initialize (Technical Communication Suite 4)

I am going round and round in circles with this problem, and am unable to find any help specific to Technical Communication Suite (although I feel it's probably the same problem as reported for the Creative Suite software mentioned elsewhere).
When Application Manager launches, it finds a whole raft of updates for Tech Comm Suite 4. Then says the first thing it has to do is update itself... but this fails with an extremely unhelpful error message:
"Adobe Application Manager
Some internal error occured during installation. Error Code: U49M1P1"
I've downloaded the FrameMaker 11 patch manually, but unless I'm missing something the Captivate one just directs me to use the Application Manager!
Another suggestion is tho use Adobe Support Advisor - but it's own blurb says it relates to Tech Comm Suite 3...and I have absolutely no idea HOW I'm supposed to use it once I've switched off the automatic stuff (which says there are no problems)! And again, it directs me to customer support...
I'm using Windows 7 32-bit with 3GB of RAM; Tech Comm Suite 4.
Just in case it's relevant, had an issue installing one component of the suite as had previously (a few months ago) had a trial of the software on this machine. Took an hour of chat with someone remotely taking control to install it.
I also do have FM9 installed on this machine, and (running on a VM) Captivate 3 and FM 7.2. I'm hoping I don't have to lose all of these as I will also lose the corresponding clients!
Do I really need to uninstall all Adobe software?
Alison

Dear Alison,
Apparently a network adapter named "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" is preventing Adobe Application Manager from reaching Adobe update servers.
I found a document on the internet explaining what to do:
http://dasongoh.blogspot.nl/2011/12/how-to-fix-adobe-application-manager.html
Hope it helps.

Does the Technical Communication Suite have an installation application similar to the Creative Cloud Suite? If so, how do I get it? If not, how do I upgrade from version 4? Thank you

Thank you.

Not sure what CCS has that you’re referring to, but TCS5 is out and can be installed via subscription or downloaded installer.

Solved: Technical Communication Suite 2 Installer Crashes

I was repeatedly getting a crash installing Tech Comm Suite 2 in Windows XP from installation files I downloaded to my hard drive. The crash happened in the preinstallation phase, right at the beginning even before a serial number was requested.
The Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 Installer would freeze then crash with a message, "Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I had the correct specs and resources for the installation and had turned off all the stuff I could think of. FM8 and CS3, including Acrobat 8 Pro, were installed but not running.
I found a workaround to this problem in the Adobe Knowledgebase and it works under light testing. Though, FM 9 is not outputting fonts correctly using Acrobat 9 (though Word and FM8 do not have this issue), but all seems functional.
I'm a little nervous because it does not look like the TCS 2 installer did a complete removal of Acrobat 8 when it installed Acrobat 9, but I have not yet run into a gotcha.
Here's what I found that worked to get TCS 2 installed:
1) Access the KB search http://www.adobe.com/support.
2) Search for "Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 Installer" in the product "Technical Communication Suite" and select the "Product Support" checkbox.
3) Many results are for Vista--so Vista users presumably could run into this, too. Look for "Troubleshooting system errors and freezes (Technical Communication Suite 2 on Windows Vista) (kb408338)."
4) Pay attention and try step 4.: "4. Run Technical Communication Suite 2 while no other applications are running" as follows
[quote the Adobe KB article]
To disable startup items and non Microsoft services:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Choose Start, type msconfig in the Search text box, and press Enter.
3. Write down all unselected items under the Startup and Services tabs.
4. Click the General tab, and choose Selective Startup.
5. Click the Startup tab and select Disable All.
6. Select any startup items that are essential for testing the problem. If you are unsure whether an item is essential, leave it deselected (disabled).
7. Click the Services tab, and check Hide All Microsoft Services.
8. Select Disable All then re-select any services that are essential for testing the problem. If you are unsure whether an item is essential, leave it deselected (disabled).
9. Click Apply, and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
Note: Upon restart, you'll be notified that the System Configuration utility has made changes to the way that Windows starts up. Click OK. When the System Configuration utility appears click Cancel.
10. Right-click icons in the Notification Area and close or disable any startup items that are still active.
Then, try to re-create the problem:
* If the problem no longer occurs, one of the startup items is the cause of the problem.
* If the problem recurs, startup items are not the cause of the problem and you can re-enable them:
1. Choose Start, type msconfig in the Search text box, and press Enter.
2. Click the General tab, and choose Normal Startup.
3. Deselect any items that you wrote down in Step 3 of the previous section.
4. Click Apply, and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.

Read the options carefully - it doesn't mess with the CS3 components.
Quote: "The Adobe CS4 Clean Script is designed to not interfere with
existing Creative Suite 3 products, but it allows you to specify if
you wish to remove them as well."
For the font issue:
Check the settings in the Adobe PDF printer instance:
Printing Preferences > Paper/Quality > Advanced... button - should
have Download as Soft Font for the TrueType option enabled
Printing Preferences > Adobe PDF Settings
Do NOT have the "Rely on system font only; do NOT use document fonts"
option enabled!
Properties > General tab > Substitution table - except for Symbol and
Courier, there should be no substitutions allowed.
Also, check your Distiller options to see if the font location is
correctly specified and if the Fonts section of the joboptions in use
does not have a "Never Embed" setting for some of the fonts.

Hi There,
Looking at the log files indicates that you already had "Reviewer" and "Quiz analyzer" installed on your machine from the previous installation of Captivate. "Adobe Captivate Reviewer" and "Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer" are installed as a separate component when you install Captivate. Even if you uninstall Captivate then also you need to uninstall these two separately. I think in your case you already had Captivate before on this machine. If that is the case then you can ingnore these errors and continue to work. You can also verify by launching the above two components separately and see if they are working.

Mayank

Adobe Presenter in Technical Communications Suite 5?

Is Adobe Presenter 9 included in Technical Communications Suite 5? I just downloaded a trial version of Tech Comm Suite 5, but did not receive Adobe Presenter (only Adobe Presenter Video Creator).

Yes, Adobe Presenter 9 is a part of Technical Communication Suite.
Have you ever install Adobe Presenter 9 on your machine ?
Please check the version of your Microsoft PowerPoint.?
Please check this document for tech specs and installation instructions.

Installing Technical communication suite

Folks
I am trying to install Technical communication Suite (mainly
for Captivate at the moment - the rest I'll use later) . I am
running Windows XP, Pentium 4 etc and have a licenced version of
Captivate 2
I keep getting the error message Error: Unable to Load
Product Information as soon as click on the first button on the
initial screen (activated by autorun)
I have worked through the troubleshooting doc on the adobe
site to no result.
The installation process starts up OK on my old steam powered
PC - but I want to install this on my better Pc
any suggestions?
Regards
Steven Knight

Hi Steven
Unfortunately, almost all of us here already have the product
successfully installed.
First, I'd try what is outlined in
this link.. If that
doesn't help, I'd strongly encourage you to contact Adobe support
and see what they have to say.
For what it's worth here, Adobe has changed the installation
method for most of their products. This means that installation
issues aren't problematic with only Captivate. There are issues
with many of the products.
Cheers... Rick

Technical Communication Suite 3 - Install Location Correct?

Hi All,
I've just installed the new TCS3 upgrade from TCS2.5 on my XP Pro SP3 machine. The installer on the DVD seemed to work fine, but I just noticed that it didn't create a \Technical Communications Suite x\ folder like other TCS versions had. It placed all the components (FM10, RH9, etc) in the \Program Files\Adobe\ folder. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I just found it odd that it seems to have performed a "standalone" component install with the added functionality of the suite.
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
This is the as per the new design of TCS 3. In earlier version all the suite products were placed in TCS folder but in TCS 3 you will not see any TCS folder but all the individual component will have separate folder in "C:\Program files\Adobe"
Thanks,
Sameer

I signed up for the Technical Communications Suite Subscription yesterday. Now when I launch FrameMaker, it says I can either use as a trial or buy whereupon it propts for a serial number.

Signed up for the Technical Communications Suite Subscription yesterday. Now when I launch FrameMaker, I get a dialog box saying I either have to use it as a trial version (for 30 days) or buy it. If I click buy it prompts for a serial number.
On installation when I tried to access my adobe account in the dialog box that appeared. It said I didn't have an internet connection. My internet was working fine and I got the same message even once I launched my browser.

Did you install using an account with admin privileges? Do you have any Group or other security policies on machine that may restrict new software installs?
For installation issues, it's best to contact customer support.

CS6, eLearning suite, Technical Communication Suite: licenses and hardware upgrade.

In my PC I have installed:
Creative Suite Master Collection 6.0
eLearning Suite 6.1
Technical Communication Suite 4.0
I'm upgrading my HDD to a new SSD disk (cloning) and putting it into a newer PC
The old disk will be erased.
Am I going to have any problem with my Adobe licenses?
Do I have to do anything?
Thanks
Patrick

>It will most likely not clone properly for at least the Adobe products... they need to be installed.
could you please elaborate on this? the product is already installed and a cloned disk is an exact copy.
>Deactivate the old installation and uninstall it so that it does not transfer to the new drive. Re-install using the installation files.
Yes I know I can do this. I'm trying to avoid uninstalling/reinstalling everything. As I see it I just probably need to cycle deactivate/clone/activate.
But I need more than just a guess.
Thanks.

Hello Vivek,
Thanks for the announcement.
It is nice to know that anyone that now purchases the
Technical Communication Suite 1.3 as an upgrade will get Adobe
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for the same price I paid in October 2007
for the Tech Comm Suite with Adobe Acrobat 8. Had I only waited
until this month to purchase the Technical Communication Suite I
too would have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat but alas, I will
have to spend an additional $300US to upgrade to TCS 1.3. Which
means I will have paid 30% more for the TCS than anyone purchasing
it now.
Sometimes it just does not pay to be an early adopter of a
product and have to go through the pain of wondering why RoboHelp 7
was so slow (among other bugs)...but I digress.
I understand you likely have nothing to do with the pricing,
but I felt I had to say something.
Regards,
Randi

Strong DITA integration into FM Technical Communication Suite

My motivation to vote for a strong DITA integration is that I can imagine the FM Technical Communication Suite as an very appropriate tool to support the DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization in a smart way.
That's important as on April 1, 2008 the DITA Technical Committee has approved Design Proposal 12058 for inclusion of the DITA specialization for learning and training content in the formal design plan for DITA 1.2.
My long-term vision for the FM Technical Communication Suite is, for example,
* write your quiz is FM and use it in Adobe Captivate
My short-term vision the for the FM Technical Communication Suite is
* improve the usability of the DITA plugin for technical writers
Looking forward to a user-to-user discussion about which smart DITA integration into the FM Technical Communication Suite.

b Smart Language Identification
GOAL
FM DITA plugin uses the xml attribute for language identification
to set
Proposal
The language identification attribute is
xml:lang
see
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-lang-tag
A scretch of an implementation:
Change the entry for the attribute xml:lang in the related EDDs from
Name: xml:lang String Optional
to
Name: xml:lang Choice Optional
Choices: en-US | de-DE
Default: en-US
Note: en-US means language(englisch)-country(USA)
A smart integration would
* language-country codes for all combinations supported by FM
* May be the drop-down list of
ParagraphFormatting/PropertiesFont/Language
can view the lanuage-country codes, too
* TextFormatRules similar to this one are necessary
If
Specification Concept[xml:lang="de-DE"]
ParagraphFormatting
PropertiesFont
Language
Deutsch
Well, my current workaround is I add a version of the above TextFormatRule to all elements which are specificied in the 'info-types' variable of the topic.edd
Any smarter workarounds known?
