Missing plug-ins,  BRS Pencil Tool  ExpandS

When I launch Illustrator after instalation, I get this message "missing plug-ins, BRS Pencil Tool ExpandS". I searched about it and found these http://forums.adobe.com/message/3079536?tstart=0, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331889.html#products, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html, but nothing helped. I tried the solutions offered at these threads, but in vain. Does anybody have an idea about this? Thanx a lot.

This happens in Windows XP. In Windows 7 (I tried it) installs with no problem.

  • CRASHES AT START UP -MISSING REQUIRED PLUGIN - BRS PENCIL TOOL

    Can someone please help with this? I dont know what I did, but the BRS Pencil Tool plug in is missing from the illustrator filters in the plug in folder, and now I cant get illustrator to start. Illustrator goes through the start up process and at the end I get an error message saying "Missing required plug ins" "BRS pencil tool" and then Illustrator crashes. After that the "Crash Report" pops up. I've done a search for the missing file on my computer and nothing comes up. If I uninstall and reinstall will that fix the problem? And if I do reinstall will my previous CS2 work be safe? I tried to call Adobe, but since I don't have the serial number they refuse to help. Thanks Adobe!

    If you are getting a message about the BRS pencil tool and you are using Windows Vista or XP, you may be missing an important font. For Vista users you are missing the Segoe-UI font. For XP users you are missing the Tahoma font. These fonts need to be installed on your system in order for Illustrator, Flash, Photoshop and InDesign to launch. Most of the other applications will give you a generic "application has stopped working" error when trying to launch.
    Also, another clue is located inside the Event Viewer. For vista users, click on your start button and in the search area type "event", the event viewer will show in the results area, click on it and then click on "windows logs", then click on "application". For XP users, click Start, then Run and type "eventvwr" and hit enter, then click on "Application". By double-clicking on an error you will see the description for the problem. If the faulting module shows AdobeOwl.dll, you are most likely missing the font. You can do a google search for the font and they are available for download.

  • Missing required plugins. BRS Pencil Tool ExpandS

    Illustrator CS5 with most recent updates.
    When I open Illustrator, I get the error below, then the program closes.
    I tried reinstalling with the cleaner and deleting the Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings folder. Neither worked.
    Thank you!

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Missing required plugins.BrS pencil tool/will not open program

    Hi!
    We hve downloaded a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5 and we are not able to open it. We followed Step 1 and Step 2 and then opened up the Zip version.I also have Windows Vista Home Premium Copyright 2007.
    Would anyone know how I can access it?
    Jana

    Reinstall the app with proper admin privileges and also do run it that way. Sounds very much liek mundane permissions issues where some things don't get installed and/or the program cannot establish its user-specific configuration...

  • Illustrator 6 missing plug-ins, won't open new files

    I was initially getting an error message when attempting to open Illustrator 6 on my Mac (running 10.6.8). An unknown error has occurred (4294967253). Adobe Illustrator will now quit. I read a post where the user was to select shift+option+command right after booting up. When I did that, a dialog box popped up asking if I'd like to participate in submitting feedback to Adobe and asked for my profession, location, industry, etc. It then attempted to open a new file but gave the following error: The document 'Print.ai' contains elements that are managed by plug-ins that are not currently available. You can delete or expand these elements but you cannot manipulate them in other ways. The missing plug-ins are listed below. Stroke Offset Live Effect (StrokeOffset.aip). I can open an existing file, but no tools are available to edit with and I get additional errors regarding missing plug-ins. My Mac has also been running a bit slow lately as well...not sure if the two issues are connected, but I'm willing to try anything to meet an impending deadline. I have plenty of space remaining on my computer, so that can't be it.

    The exact same thing just happened to me.
    Then comes another error message ( see below ).
    & it doesn't like it when I replace the image (which is a TIFF by the way).

  • Error loading plugins brs pencil tool | cc | Illustrator 2014

    Hello there,
    I use Illustrator cc 2014, and recently when I open the application, there will be a pop up with "error loading plugins brs pencil tool". I click continue, and the pencil tool is completely missing from my tool bar. I wanted to know what would be the best way to fix this? I have tried updating the software and it says "failed to update, error u44m1p7". I don't want to mess around with any of the plugins manually as I know there has to be a certain way they are placed and installed, and I'm not sure what the right way is. If someone has had to remove and add a plugin before and knows how that info would be helpful.
    Thanks for any help,
    -Laura

    Laura,
    You may consider a reinstallation using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Missing Plug-ins - Package And Preflight.APLN from InDesign Document

    If a user creates a file in InDesign CC and then tries to open it in InCopy CS6 they get the following error.
    Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
    PACKAGE AND PREFLIGHT.APLN
    The Doument "filename.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
    This happens whether the copy of InCopy is on the same PC as InDesign or a seperate PC without InDesign. InCopy is installed seperately from the CC.
    Clicking OK opens the file normally.
    We have checked that both versions of the software match at v8.0.2.
    I've heard it might be due to embedding of this file but the designers say they are not yet at the stage of packaging this file when they get this error so nothing should be embedded.
    Can anyone help?
    Simon

    Hi, Thanks for pointing out the error.
    I have checked back with our designer and found out that they are using InDesign CS6 and not CC. (I was confused as they used CC to install it rather than our seperate deployment tool).
    The problem however remains the same.

  • Missing plug-ins in Mainstage?

    Mainstage has been an incredible tool for me because I'm able to open Channel Strip Settings saved in Logic and create the perfect patches for playing live. Unfortunately, a few plug-ins that are available in Logic Pro 8 are not found in my Mainstage. For example, Vocal Transformer. Is this to be expected? Is there any way to add these missing plug-ins to Mainstage?
    I'm using Vocal Transformer for its formant shifting abilities and I can't seem to find a reasonably inexpensive replacement...
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi
    Just checked.. Vocal Transformer is NOT available in Mainstage v1.02 (had not noticed before!).
    It *is* available in Mainstage v2.
    There is no way to add these 'internal' plugins, so your best option would be to upgrade to Logic Studio 2 (Logic 9/Mainstage 2).

  • Unable to open documents because of missing plug ins

    I am unable to open documents in CS3 (version 5.04)
    I am getting a message:"Missing Plug Ins: Conditional Text.InDesignPlugIn, WorldReady.InDesignPlugin.
    The document "xxxxx.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"
    If I click on OK I get another window, stating "Cannot Open File", a list of all kind of missing Plugins and the message "Cannot open "xxxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
    I don't want to switch to CS4 and as far as I know version 5.04 of CS3 is the latest.
    Any ideas of what I could do to get the latest PlugINs or anything else that would help?
    Thank you!
    Anne

    Probably, but it's 100% not necessary when going from CS4 to CS3. It might be a case of 'half read, then half-understood'.
    As this is a really frequent question and there are still no sticky posts: anyone up for a "feature request" that makes InDesign check the version number before opening? (Of course that wouldn't work backwards to CS3. Still, it'd avoid these kind of posts when CS6 comes out. Note: not CS5, because that would have no problems opening CS4, but CS4 would have problems with Cs5! Oh, for planning ahead ...  )

  • PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

    Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

    I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail.  None of them worked.  I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email.  I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app.  HELP!!

  • Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

    I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
    When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"  If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
    I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
    I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
    Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
    What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
    Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
    [Edit]
    Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
    I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.
