Installer for a new plug-in.

Hi All,
I made my first plug-in for InDesign. It supposed to be free for users.
Now I try to make an installer of my plug-in for CS3 and CS4.
Is there any official way to find out exact path to folder "Plug-Ins" for each version of InDesign?
This task looks very common but I can not find any information in Forum or InDesign Developer Knowledgebase.
Your links or explanations will be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Sofia

If this is on a Mac, and you are only installing one plugin, the current fashion is to do a "Drag and Drop Install" from a mounted disk image volume.  Yes, the users would have to locate the Plug-Ins folder themselves.  Installers are now recommended only for complex installs such as drivers or software suite with multiple files in multiple locations.
Since Apple standardized /Application folder on X.  It should be safe to look for the folder here for CS3:
/Application/Adobe InDesign CS3/Plug-Ins/
If you can't find it, you would have to ask the user.  Otherwise, you would need to make some OS calls (Launch Services or even Spotlight?) to ask for the location of InDesign.
On the other hand, I don't know if Adobe would localize the folder name during installation.  My guess is, it should not.
I have no idea for Windows.

  • PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

    I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
    Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

  • HT3669 I only have a HP printer and why I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers 590MB??? if normally the size of my file should be 5MB.  some one could me help to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???

    Hi guys..!!
    I would like to know if someone could help on this:
    I just have a HP printer (HP Designjet 100) and for some reason I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers in total 590MB to be able to use my printer in my mountain lion???
    If normally the size of my files in the for previous software was more or less 5MB why now i need to install 590?
    Some one could help me how to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???
    Thanks

    If you go to http://support.apple.com/downloads and locate the HP Printer Drivers installer, you will find that it is 473.4 MB (for version 2.11). If you install this, it will install the full set of drivers for every model of HP printer that is supported by the drivers distributed through Apple. The disk space occupied once installed will probably be larger than the download, since the downloaded file is compressed.
    On the other hand, if you have an HP printer connected and you use Software Update (or the Update tab in App Store), that should offer you a much smaller set of HP drivers, which are only applicable to your printer (and possibly a few similar ones). These updates are typically only tens of megabytes rather than hundreds of megabytes.
    If Software Update doesn't offer you any HP drivers then it either thinks you have the latest drivers installed already, or the printer model is not supported by the drivers available from Apple.
    This article lists all of the printer models for which Apple distributes the driver:

    The iPhone is not a backup device.
    Restore the iTunes library from the backup that should be kept of your media and other important files.
    Syncing the iPhone to a new library (in this case, it will be a new library unless you have a complete backup of the iTunes folder pre-crash) will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with content from the new library.
    As for iOS5, we really do not know until Apple officially releases it.

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.

    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    AH...good. 
    There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine.  And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
    Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

  • Are there new plug-ins for my PowerBook G-4 to allow me to see utube and other videos?

    Are there plug-ins for me to view videos and Utube videos? I am unable suddently to view either. Help!

    I did go to the website and downloaded the adobe-flash. I also read the "read me" but I'm not sure I understood exactly what to do. I removed the old flash-player in the Library/Internet Plug-ins folder and just put it on my desktop; not sure what really to do with it. Instructions said to back it up, but I don't know how to do that. Should I have trashed it??? Then I closed the browser (Firefox); reopened it and went back to the site to see if has been installed correctly (I guess no); couldn't see the video and tested it again at uTube.
    When attempting to play a uTube video, it asked me what "player". Looked in the Apps folder to see what I had: Quicktime, Real Time, and Windows Media Player. None worked. I'm still at a loss. I'm not a savvy tech person, so I might need more instruction if you're willing to help Texas Mac Man (I'm in TX, too).
    One more thing, to put in the new plug-in, I just did a drag and drop into the folder.
    What have I missed? I appreciate your help very much. This is my first time on the Support Communities.

  • BASIC PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION OF A NEW SYSTEM

    Here is some advice on the steps to take for a successful installation of Snow Leopard (or any major system update or upgrade):
    1. Do not start until you have made two bootable back-ups, so that you can easily return to the situation you had before the installation, if something goes wrong. A bootable back-up is a back-up of everything on your drive to an external drive and made "bootable" (that is, you can boot off this external drive to restore your main drive to its pre-existing condition). There are a number of pieces of software which make bootable back-ups. For little money, you can use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. I use Synchronize Pro X, which costs a bit but is industrial strength software. Over the years, I've found that SPX does the job much faster than CCC or SD, and, most importantly, Qdea (the SPX people) puts out a new version of SPX to deal with the new system or update much more quickly than do any of the other back-up software people. Sometimes you won't get the new version of CCC or SD until quite a while after the release of the new system software, and you're not able to make a bootable back-up in time, if you want to install the new system software quickly. HAVING A BOOTABLE BACK-UP IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT YOU DON'T LOSE ANY DATA AND THAT YOU CAN RECOVER QUICKLY IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH AN INSTALLATION. Test the bootable back-up by booting off it before you try the installation of the new software.
    2. Verify and Repair your main drive and Repair Permissions before doing any major installation. You want your drive data to be in excellent shape before putting in a new system or update. When the installation is done, repair the permissions again.
    3. Check carefully for any information about the compatibility of the new system software with your primary applications and peripherals (in particular, printers). Even with a good new installation, you may lose a printer if it's old and there's no new driver for it. Don't be surprised after the installation that you've lost the use of your printer or other important peripheral device.
    4. If you run into problems, check the Apple discussion forums to see if someone else had the same problems and find out what they did to solve them.

    You may be able to make a bootable back-up with DU, but DU can't do a quick update of the back-up as time progresses. The beauty of a piece of software like Synchronize Pro X is that, once you have a bootable back-up, you can quickly update it week by week. SPX can very quickly find the changes in your master drive and put those changes on the bootable back-up. With DU you have to start from scratch each time to make a whole new disk image.
    A bootable back-up isn't just for use to protect against an installation problem. I've had a computer stolen in a hotel room, and I was able to use a friend's computer (which was also a Mac) to keep working. I just hooked up my back-up, booted off it and now his computer appeared to be my computer, because my bootable back-up recreated my usual work environment on his computer.
    Similarly, if your main drive fails, you've lost nothing if you have a bootable back-up. You're up and running again very quickly.
    I keep my bootable back-ups up-to-date always. And with Synchronize Pro X, this is very quickly and easily done.

    I have a new Canon 6D and prefer to use Camera RAW.  This new file format is not compatable with Elements 10.  A new plug-in maybe is required.
    Can anyone help?

    I can't find Canon 6D in the list of supported cameras for even ACR 7.3. I would thus suggest you converting your raw files to dng using dng convertor tool and then open the dng files in ACR.
    Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original raw files as backups and for use in the manufacturers software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
