Installer help application missing

Hi,
I just got a mini mac, and I re-install everything, updates new OS to 10.5.6 from apple and everything works fine.
However, when I tried to install the "Stuffit Expander 2009", I got the error message saying "Missing Critical Component. Installer help application missing."
Could somebody help me? I am new to MAC.....
I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks

I just got the same message. I downloaded an Expander 2009 .dmg from VersionTracker.com and it installed just fine - give that a shot.

  • OpenFile fails in Word for Mac: "helper application missing"

    The OpenFile command in Word 2004 for Mac stopped working on my machine: it threw up am error message "Helper application not present" and froze Word. This was occasionally a real problem, since the same thing happened when trying to download a Word file from a website. But it was in general not critical, since I could work around it by clicking on files in Finder, or on the list of recent files at the foot of the File menu. I assumed that, when I updated, the problem would resolve itself. However, I have now updated Word 2004 to Word 2008; updated Tiger to Leopard; and finally migrated from my original Powerbook to a new iMac. However, the problem has not gone away (though the error message no longer appears). What can I do?

    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and completely unrelated to Microsoft Office.
    You should really consider posting issues with Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products as they would be focused more toward the issue than an Apple forum and there are Microsoft appointed MVPs there to assist.

  • PS CS3 Help Application Missing

    When I try to access Photoshop Help from the menu bar, I receive the following message: "Could not find the Adobe Help application. You may need to re-install the application and the Help component." Since my AI CS3 help has been malfunctioning too, I am thinking the two are interrelated? So where do I find the Help Application to re-install? Does it mean reinstalling CS3 and going through the activation process again? Ugh!...just needed to vent for a moment!

  • New update for Community Help application - version 3.5 now available

    Hi: just a quick announcement that the engineering team has released version 3.5 of the Adobe Community Help application.  This update is a very significant release that directly addresses a lot of the feedback that we’ve been hearing from the community.  The most significant changes include:
    Feature
    Benefit
    1.
    Tabbed Browsing
    Ability to open multiple pages   from multiple sources simultaneously
    2.
    Favorites/Bookmarks
    Ability to bookmark your   favorite URLs; note: we prepopulate a set of suggested bookmarks for you   based on the products you have installed.  Users can of course   add/edit/delete any bookmarks that they choose and can organize them via   folders, etc.
    3.
    Search/Browse History
    Ability to view previous pages   browsed or search results (including previously used filter options, search   collections, online/offline search status, refinements, and more).
    4.
    Flash Platform ASLR
    Ensures developers  only   have to download one copy of the ASR and not separate, multiple copies for   Flash vs. Flex, etc. 
    5.
    Revamped local content   download workflow
    The entire local content   download workflow has been reworked!  We have removed the pop-up dialog   box and moved the “content update” notification to the footer of the app as   well as the homescreen.  This ensures an uninterrupted workflow for   users who simply want to access content first and foremost.
    6.
    Performance improvements
    The team has worked especially   hard on improving the start-up and browsing performance by consolidating a   number of disparate server calls into a single initialization service that is   only performed at launch.  This enables us to cache a number of assets   and reduce network calls/dependencies.
    7.
    Silent application updates
    Similar to the changes in the   local content download experience, we have also revamped the update   experience for the application itself!  Going forward, app updates will   be downloaded in the background without interruption to the user workflow.
    8.
    Set-and-forget search options
    Search options are now sticky   from session to session – for example, if you check the Search Adobe   Reference check box for  Photoshop, the CHC will remember those options   the next time you open the app. This applies to refinements too.
    9.
    Much more!!
    Minimize to sytem tray (for PC   users only); upgrade to Flex 4.1 and AIR 2.5; and many, many other   enhancements, fixes, etc.!
    Note: many of these features were part of our earlier 3.4 release – as some of you know, we had to pull down that release shortly after launch due to server/hardware issues. So only a few users were able to update at the time.  CHC 3.5 is now a general release that will support all users and has been extensively tested to ensure robust performance and stability.
    To update your app, simply open the Community Help application from your hard disc or visit our download page on adobe.com:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/chc
    Please leave your comments/feedback here in this forum -- and feel free to spread the word!

  • The device has encountered an unexpected error. Installation error: application verification failed

    the device has encountered an unexpected error. Installation error: application verification failed
    I have been receiving this message over and over again when trying to publish my iOS app for the app store (I use Flash cc AIR 3.9.1.1080 for iOS and my settings are: "device testing in interpreter mode", as my app uses several swfs).
    I have done everything from scratch, as recommended on other sections of the forums: new app ID from my apple developer account, new Distribution Certificates, new Distribution Provisioning Profiles and nothing works.
    I can install my app on my iPad if I use the development Certificate and Provisioning Profile and everything seems OK. But as soon as I use the Distribution Certificate and Provisioning Profile get the same message:
    the device has encountered an unexpected error. Installation error: application verification failed
    I have done everything from the beggining over and over and nothing works. Am I the only one having this issue on Flash cc???

    Hi Daniel:
    I´m far from being an expert on Xcode (or any code) but this is what I did and it worked:
    - On Xcode go to Preferences > Accounts > select your App Developer Account, then click "view details" on the lower right corner.
    - There you can see which of your "Signing Identities" (Certificates) are "Valid". You should have at least one for Development and one for Distribution.
    - Below that window there are two icons which you can use to add, export or revoke a "Signing Identitie" (Certificate).
    - Choose the one you want to use (Develop. or Distrib.), export it to the folder of the app you are working on and name it in such a way you can relate it to your app. Before knowing this I was exporting them using Keychain Access and I wasn´t naming them to differentiate each one properly.
    - On your Apple Developer account create the Provisioning Profile for your app. I deleted any App IDs or Prov. Profs. which were useless.
    - Then on my Apple Developer account I generated a Development Prov. Prof. to install and test my app on my iPad. All went fine.
    - Then an Ad Hoc Prov. Prof. again to install and test my app on my iPad. All went fine.
    - Then I generated the App Store Prov. Prof. and I was able to install the app on my device without the upsetting error.
    - Then I uploaded the app to iTunes Connect with no problem.
    These link was useful for me: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2318/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/D TS40013777-CH1-TNTAG0
    You can also search for "Certificates" and "Provisioning" on Xcode help.
    Good luck!

  • Adobe reader installation file is missing? (need an awser ASAP)

    Hi i work for a computer store and a coustmer called with a problem about his adobe reader. He said when he tries to open Adobe Reader it would say that the installation file was missing. So i figured it would be an easy fix right? just reinstall it and it would be fixed. Well that is not the problem in this case, after he reinstalled it the same error would still pop up and i am not sure if it is a bad sector on the HDD or if it something wrong with the installation of the program or what the problem is and how i could help him fix it. So i would like some help with this, and i need an anwser ASAP.
    -Thank you

  • "Enhancement Package Installation" option is missing for CRM 7.0/NW 7.1

    Hi Expert,
    I am trying to install EHP1 on CRM 7.0/NW 7.1. Following the installation guide, I updated the solution manager to SP stack 24, and use MOPZ to download the software packages. But when I create a new MOPZ transaction, there is only "Maintenance" option for the product of CRM, the "Enhancement Package Installation" option is missing. The Maintenance Optimizer works well for other products, such as Netweaver and ERP 6.0.
    Can someone help me? Do I need to apply some notes?
    Thanks,
    Min

    Hello,
    It looks like either your company has not enrolled for the Ramp Up of CRM 7 EHP1.
    If your company is indeed in the Ramp Up, please check in SCPR20 if these BC sets are activated in the listed sequence:
    SOLMAN40_MOPZ_TTYP_SLMO_000
    SOLMAN40_MOPZ_001
    SOLMAN40_MOPZ_SP18
    If one of them has no activation logs or if the date and time of the third one is earlier than the first in the list, then the Maintenance Optimizer BC sets need to be reactivated.
    Best regards,

  • Applications missing from Creative Cloud Desktop application

    If you are unable to locate a specific application then it is likely the computer you are using does not meet the current system requirements.  In the following example you can see that After Effects and Premiere Pro are missing from the list of available applications.
    When I look at the System information for my Windows installation I am informed that I have a 32-bit version of Windows 8.
    This means that I will be unable to install Premiere Pro or After Effects as my current computer does not meet the minimum system requirements.  You can find a list of Creative Cloud system requirements at Adobe Creative Cloud – Tech specs.
    For additional information please see Not all apps displayed for download | Creative Cloud desktop app, Adobe Application Manager.
    If you have confirmed that your computer meets and exceeds all of the listed System requirements then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.

    Hi Jeff,
    I have a lot of problems. First og all the system will not accept my account and even I have downloaded CPLauncher and can see the software, I will not genereate password. Nothing works, and if do not, I have to stop paying, because my boss are a little angry.
    He says: We pay and it do not work. Find other software. We can’t afford you sitting doing nothing. If Adobe makes such a software that causes us trouble, we will change to something else, we do not need Aobe for our projects.
    So Jeff – The software are very complicated, it can run, It can’t genereate license,  and on top of all this, I have to defend Adobe. Well – I will not. I have been fighting in 3 weeks and this week is the last. Monday morning I will stop using Adobe coud and stop my membership.

  • System & Installation Numbers are missing from Service Manager

    Hi All,
    We have just upgraded a system from 2007A to 8.8 and when you start the Service Manager the System and Installation Numbers are missing. Any idea as to why?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    Please note that this is on account of Number Range Buffering in SAP. You can check for itsu2019 settings in T.Code: SNRO for Object: RP_REINR.
    This is an SAP standard functionality and, there is no need to touch these settings. You can refer the below link:

  • How do I install CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" (disk 3 of 3)?

    Hi,
    How do I install the CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" disk (the 3rd of the 3 disk set although it's not labelled as disk "3")? There's an autorun.inf file but no setup.exe. The generic on-disk installation instructions are useless for this disk since they assume a setup.exe file exists.
    The disk contains the following folders: Adobe CS6 Speech Analysis Models, Adobe Encore CS6 Functional Content, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, and Fonts.
    Thanks!

    There is no installer for the files AudiosBro they are additional content which can be added to those applications.  For specific inquiries about the contents please post in the applicable forum for that application.  You can find a list of available forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome.

  • CS5 Help Application Broken

    Shortly after installing CS5 (licensed version - not demo), I decided to check out the PPro help file. After selecting HELP->ADOBE PREMIERE PRO HELP, a window popped up telling me that an update for the Adobe Help application was available. I figured what could possibly go wrong? Well the installation of the update failed:
    "The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
    And now, whenever I try to view the PPro Help, I get:
    "This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
    So I downloaded the Adobe Help application from http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/ and the installation also fails with the same message. I also tried re-installing it from the distribution DVD's. Didn't help. I guess I can access the help files from the Content DVD, but just want to warn others in case you are tempted to run the update. I guess there could be something flakey about my system:
    Mac OSX 10.5.8
    2 x Dual-Core
    13GB RAM

    Mac OSX 10.5.8
    Installed the whole CS5 Production Premium Suite, licensed version. Machine also has CS4 Production Premium. After installing, I went into PPro CS5, loaded a CS4 project, scrubbed the time line a few times, rendered it, did a capture via FireWire from my HDV camcorder, tried out "Scene Detect", swore about on screen-preview still not available on the Mac (why?????), and then went into the Help function to lookup HDV capture. The first time I got the message about the help file update, I ignored it. The second time, I tried to run it and got the error.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem Installing Firefox 3.6.8 as error "no helper application" to open file

    Used an Asus netbook running Linux / Firefox version 2.0.0.0.11 for 3 years no problems. Now I cannot use "Hotmail" on it as it requires an update to version as above.
    It appears to download but not to open and I get the message "could not be opened because the associated helper application doe not exist" I am also not sure where I should be downloading it too but chose home/user.
    I am very basic user but checked the File "open with" settings and there is no application for a tar.bz2
    Any advice would be very much appreciated

    Which Linux version and what hardware do you have?
    If you have an older Linux version then you may be missing the required libraries for Firefox 3 versions.
    See http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/system-requirements.html - Firefox 3.6 System Requirements

    When I click "Help" in CS4 I get the following error message:
