Macromedia Contribute 3 Error
Hey,
We have a user getting the following error when opening any
Office 2003 app.
Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product
Macromedia Contribute 3. The Windows Installer cannot continue.
She says it just started a couple of days ago.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
I had this same error and updated to Contribute Version 3.11
through the Adobe website last week. Following the prompts, I did
not uninstall Version 3.0 before I ran the update.
The update fixed the issue with the right click / Office
flashpaper thing, but when I open Contribute, I am prompted for a
serial number for the new update or to use the software on a trial
basis. I have my serial number from my initial download of Version
3.0, but do not have a serial number for the update.
I called the Adobe Activation hotline, was transferred to
Customer Service (which had no idea how to fix the request for a
new serial number for Version 3.11, since that was just an update
and shouldn't come with a new serial number), and then eventually
to Tech Support, where I was told that Version 3.x was no longer
supported by Adobe, and that I should post my inquiry here.
So, should I uninstall everything and run the update again?
Any other suggestions?

Error Message You must install macromedia contribute version 2.0
I am trying to use the functionality from Dreamweaver to
connect to Contribute and Administer the web sites. I keep getting
the error "You must install Macromedia Contribute version 2.0 or
later to administer a site. Would you like to install Contribute
now?"
I am running Contribute CS3 and Dreamweaver 8. Is there a
patch for this issue?Yes, that could very well be the problem. All sorts of issues
rise when the administrator has a lower version of Contribute. When
a site is administered in CS3 you cannot administer the site in a
lower version at all. Upgrading yourself would be the best policy I
think. I always upgrade when the newer version arrives to avoid
these issues and set the compatibility settings to
Transitional. -
DW8 "could not launch Macromedia Contribute "
I am just using DW8 and Contribute 3 in tandem on my new
Windows Vista machine.
In Site Definitions, when I hit the 'Administer Site in
Contribute' button, the re is a flurry of activity and then I get
the message "Dreamweaver could not launch Macromedia Contribute to
administer the site. Please check the Contribute installation"
Any thoughts on this please?
From memory in Dreamweaver MX a Contribute site can be
administered from Dreamweaver without Contribute installed. But I
don't see thta option anymore in DW8. (I originally set up the site
in DW MX on another machine and I would like to be an administrator
in DW8 on this machine.)
Help much appreciated.

Had the same problem here - "Error - Can not find the
Macromedia Flash". I was
using LCARS System47 screensaver from mewho.com. It's an
excellent and stable
screensaver, and the best free one I've found with
dual-monitor support. Adobe
auto-updated Flash after I'd installed the screensaver, and
that's when I
started getting the error. So I thought maybe System47 was
using Flash. I went
back to mewho.com, got the latest install, installed over the
existing, and my
problem is solved. My kudos to Adobe and mewho.com for
staying on top of
things. (Adobe may not have replied to questions in this
forum, but how could
they know? It would be impossible for them to test every one
of the possibly
millions of real-world scenarios. But their products are
always top-notch and
well-supported.)... -
Macromedia Contribute 3.11 Slow Connection issues Windows 7
I have got Macromedia Contribute 3.11, i am experiencing lot of issues at the moment.
Firstly, it takes a long time to connect to the server, most of the times it connects to the server, sometimes it fails, but the time it takes to connect to the server is unacceptable.
Secondly, contribute is taking a long time to publish the webpages.
I am using Windows 7, when I ran the compatibility check, it said incompatible detected, and suggested to change to Windows XP Service Pack 2. I did that, but still the issue persists...
Any suggestions or recommendations would be really appreciated.
Many Thanks

I have been using Macromedia Contribute 3 to maintain my website so my needs are pretty simple. But I would like to upgrade but don't know what to download. I want the new software to handle my existing website without a lot of challenges. What do you recommend?
Hello,
There is no upgrade path available from Macromedia Contribute 3 to Adobe Contribute 6.5. However you can buy the latest version of Contribute which is 6.5 from the link mentioned below.

I want MACROMEDIA Contribute CS3
I bought for my client a copy of Contribute CS3. He's
currently using Macromedia Contribute 3, one month demo. He likes
it, so I want to make it official. It's a small package for a small
nice programm (30MB in size). When I ordered Adobe Contribute CS3
the package was 300MB!!! What is happening ??
So I installed Adobe Contribute CS3 on his system, which took
a lot of time 45min. or so. But after the install I got Adobe
Bridge CS3 WHY?, Adobe Assets WHY?, Adobe Scripting WHY?, Adobe
version cue WHY? etc. etc. etc.
Why o why do I need a program like mDNSResponder.exe only
needed for I-tunes.!!!!
I DON'T need those ADOBE PAYLOADS. I only need what\ I bought
for and that is Adobe Contribute CS3. Please GIVE me a CLEAN
INSTALL. Where is the good old support of Macromedia.!!!! Even
UNINSTALL CS3 took half an hour.
There is NO option to only install Contribute CS3. It's ALL
or NOTHING
It's realy a BAD Adobe experience !!!!!!

Question: Will dreamweaver work on my existing older site where I used Macromedia contribute as my maintenance software?
BobIf you can't work with code, you shouldn't use Dreamweaver. The learning curve can be quite steep. My advice is to keep using Contribute or learn HTML & CSS first.

Macromedia Dreamweaver "Unidentified Error" PHP MySQL, help please
Ok,
I've been developing web applications with with PHP/MySQL for some time now, but had been unable to afford dreamweaver to help me out. Thus every website I made came from strait "notepad" style typeing. Everything always worked just fine. Recently though I got my hands on Macromedia Studio MX, but have been having troubles ever since then.
I wrote my own PHP script to connect to my MySQL database on my computer (localhost), and it worked like a charm. Then I went over to dreamweaver, followed all the steps, entered the information, clicked the "test" button and I get the an error "an unidentified error occured".
At this point I checked everything tried again, and then that rendered the same result, I went online and found the same problem at Macromedia's webstie: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16515
I've tried everything mentioned there to no avail. I was hopeing someone out there would know what is wrong with my connection. Quick summary:
Trying to connect with Dreamweaver to localhost MySQL database, with PHP MySQL settings. I get "an unidentified error occured". But the informaiton has been verified as correct with my own PHP script.Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

On SAVE, I get the error message that Dreamweaver cannot
determine time on my website. How do I fix this problem. We have it
set where it will publish on SAVE.
Thank you,

If you are on windows, find Dreamweaver.exe in the Program

select the
Version tab, and tell me what version you see there.

CS5 Contribute - Publishing Error
I am encountering a problem when trying to publish changes to my website from my home computer (Mac). I receive the following error:
"You can't perform this action on this draft. The draft is invalid because a lock has been broken and another instance might have already acted on the draft. Contribute will remove this invalid draft from your machine."
I click Ok and it then removes the draft. However the process just loops over and over again. I have no dramas when publishing from my Mac at work.
Can anyone suggest any solutions? For the record, both Macs are running Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance.Hi,
Can you try removing your website connection (if you have any drafts, discard them) and then re-connect to your website and try editing and publishing the web pages?
If this does not work, can you try clearing Preferences by deleting the Adobe Contribute 6 Preferences file from <UserName>/Library/Preferences/ folder. Also delete the folder Contribute CS5 from <UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ folder. Here '<UserName>' is the user's Home directory. By deleting these, your website connections will be removed. Launch Contribute and recreate your website connection, and try editing and publishing the web pages in your website.
Hope this helps. -
