My created extension built in extension builder 1.5, when installed in inDesign CS6, shows nothing

Hi
Hope everyone is enjoying work.
I created my own extension in CS extension builder 1.5 for inDesign. It runs fine in debug mode with indesign CS5 and CS5.5 but when I tried to run this extension in debug mode with indesign CS6, the extension shows nothing in it. All UI components like input fields, buttons, texts etc are not shown. It stops me debugging the application.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks and best regards.

Are you now using Extension Builder 2.0, or still 1.5?
If you're still using 1.5 then have you set PlayerDebugMode for CSXS 3? Normally CSXS will prevent extensions that are unsigned or have invalid signatures from loading for security reasons. Setting PlayerDebugMode turns that protection mechanism off, and allows the loading of unsigned extensions. Extension Builder 1.5 will automatically turn on PlayerDebugMode for CS5/5.5 (CSXS 2.0/2.5), but not for CS6 (CSXS 3.0), which was released after Extension Builder 1.5. You can turn on PlayerDebugMode manually though:
On Windows: Add a PlayerDebugMode registry key with value 1 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.3\
On Mac: Set the PlayerDebugMode key to 1 in the plist file at ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.CSXS3.plist
Let me know if that solves the issue.
Best wishes,

Deletion of Flash Builder 4.5 when installing Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP

There is a very serious error with the Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP installer (from http://static.zend.com/topics/Flash-Builder-for-PHP-4.5.0-Release-Notes.txt ):
If Flash Builder 4.5 (not PHP) is already installed on the machine, and the
product (Flash Builder for PHP 4.5) is then installed in a different location,
the user gets the "FB is installed" dialog.
After clicking OK, the installation rolls back and removes both Flash Builder
and Flash Builder for PHP.
My questions:
Can Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP be installed in the same location without deleting Flash Builder 4.5? If so, please define "location."
Is there a workaround for installing both flavors of Flash Builder 4.5 and avoiding the deletion issue described above?
Can a single do-it-all version of Flash Builder 4.5 be installed that combines the SDKs and features of both flavors of the Flash Builder 4.5 product?

Hi Mike,
Could you please send the following log files so we identify the exact problem and hopefully help you quickly:
Windows:
1.       <path_to_adobe_fbphp>/_Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP.log
2.       Logs located under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installer\
Max OSX:
1.       <path_to_adobe_fbphp>/_Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP.log
2.       Logs located under /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/
Thanks for sharing this,

Can the Extension Builder be Used to Modify Existing InDesign Menus and Panels

Hi,
I am using the CS5 SDK to create new panels and menus for InDesign.
I would like to know if there is a way to modify InDesign's existing native panels and menues. For example, I might want to display additional information about assets in a Library panel.
TIA,
mlavie

Sorry, no direct way. You could theoretically build your own panel and then supercede the menu for ID's panel. Nobody's tried it that I know of; and, frankly, I wouldn't recommend it as it could easily break something in ID.

"System extension cannot be used" when installing programs.

Hello,
I just transferred my files via Firewire from my Old Macbook Pro 2.5 running Leopard to my new Macbook Pro 2.8 running Snow Leopard. When I was updating system software on the new computer I started to get this system extension error. It says teh extension was improperly installed and cannot be used and must be updated or reinstalled. All of them are in /System/Library/Extensions/ Here's the extensions:
MacPortX.kext
MacPortXVersionChecker.kext
PACESupport2.kext
SMARTBoardCable.kext
The PACE and Smartboard ones are for programs I can probably update, but how do I reinstall/update the first two? And what are they for?
Any help would be appreciated

I assume MacPortX is another third-party program since it isn't part of OS X. For all three of these utilities you need to uninstall them completely then reinstall them. This includes deleting the kexts
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

Installer built with Application Builder gives error "Cannot install, higher version already installed"

I am having an issue with an installer which I created with the Application Builder. I have a project that I have successfully deployed. Subsequently I created another project (and vi) which is based on a copy of the originals, both with new file names. In the renamed project file, I changed all file names, paths, and all resources, to reflect the new names. I also changed the installer’s destination and install folders, of course. I reset the executable’s version number (in the Build Specification properties) to 1.0 (the original was 1.3). I then successfully built an executable and the application installer. However, when I run the installer (setup.exe), it gives a dialog (after the license screen) that it “Cannot install” because a “higher version already installed”.
I’ve done exactly the same thing with other vi’s and projects of mine, and never had this issue. The installer correctly installs the newly created (and renamed) version where it is told to in the project file. Also, I’ve never had a problem deploying (installing) on my development PC either.
I have carefully checked and rechecked to make sure there is no reference to the original executable or paths. What could be causing this behavior? I want to keep the two projects completely separate, so simply changing the version to higher than 1.3 is not an acceptable solution.
Thanks to anyone in advance for any help and suggestions.

Yes, LV 8.5 does NOT give me control over the GUID. In the project file there are three such strings:
"App_applicationGUID"
"App_INI_aliasGUID"
"App_INI_GUID"
They all have different numbers and none of them match the GUID or PackageGUID in setup.ini. I don't know if they are related or not, but usually it's not a good idea to mess with (manually edit) files like these (project, ini, etc.) unless you know what you are doing. (For example, I do edit the setup.ini file to change some of the [Dialogs] parameters, but that is based on direction from NI support.)
Anyway, like I said, I've made copies of projects before and never ran into this problem. At least I have a solution, however laborious, in creating a new project file from scratch.
Let me know if anyone has more thoughts on this.

When adding folders to iTunes 11, they don't show up in the library. On one folder add, it created a playlist (not what I wanted). On the second folder, it shows nothing. Never seen this before. Advice?

I added my first folder of MP3s and it created a playlist, but didn't show up in the library. When adding a second folder, it didn't show up anywhere. I can do a search for them in the search window, and it finds/plays them, but I want to be able to browse them in my library. These are not MP3s downloaded from iTunes, but are personal files located on my hard drive. Can anyone help?

I have a Dell that's running Windows XP. I have found that itunes is very temperamental. this works most of the time... except on my son's computer that's running Windows Vista.
Go to your library in iTunes. Then go up to file and try one of the options (import, add folder to library, or add file to library).
Adding a folder is the least work. You can add all the files from a folder with one click... if it works. Remember that itunes is temperamental.
If that doesn't work, try adding a file. The problem with that is that you have to go through the whole process for each and every file (song, movie, etc).
Sometimes the only thing that works is to import.
I haven't gotten iTunes to work on my son's computer (Windows Vista).
I can't get support from apple in any way at all! They are good about creating electronics that appeal to us But they are lousy at support. If anyone figures out how to access support (where you can actually contact Apple) please let me know ([email protected]). I've been trying for 6 months.

Performance of dialogs built with CS Extension Builder in Windows XP

Are there any known performance issues with dialogs created with extension builder in Creative Suite applications (specifically InDesign) running on Windows XP? I created a plugin, and whenever the dialogs are loaded on a machine running Windows XP, they consistently take about 9 seconds to load. When I run on Windows 7, they load almost instantly. This happens on machines running the same hardware.

We haven't figured this one out yet, but we have determined that it only happens in InDesign Relase. In Debug, the dialogs appear immediately.

Unable to sign in to CS Extension Builder

Hi,
I have a monthly subscription to CS Extension Builder 2, but when trying to create a new project there is a problem with signing in. I get the message 'Please log in with your Adobe ID to use Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder'
The steps are as follows.
1) I click 'Finish' in the screen below.
2) I enter login details in the screen below. Note, I have erased my email address for privacy
3) I get the log in error message in the screen below
Please help
Thanks
Adrian

I see...
you should be able to run any other Eclipse plugin without affecting EB 2.1.
When you uninstalled EB2.1, did you uninstall Flash Builder itself? If not, I suggest you do that, and remove any reference to it in the registry.
Before you do this, I recommend you delete a file called opm.db which is located here on a Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/ (please make a backup copy of the file first). Then try again.
Let me know if it works.
Best regards,

Extension Builder for Flash CS6 is not working

Hi I'm trying to make an extension for Flash CS6, using Extension Builder 1.5
When I run the extension from Flash Builder, Flash CS6 opens up, but the extension doesn't show up under Window>Extensions menu.
I'm just trying with an empty extension.
Note: If I create another extension for Photoshop, it works fine.

//resize 100*100
window.width = 100;
window.height = 100;
//position 300,300
window.nativeWindow.x = 300;
window.nativeWindow.y = 300;

Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 not supported in Flash Builder 4.7 64 bit

Couldn't find anywhere to submit a bug report so hopefully this is a good place.
I was able to succesfully download and install the Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 into Flash Builder 4.7 with not problems.
When I click File -> New -> Creative Suite Exention Project nothing happends. I recieve no error messages just the Project wizard panel that is expected to open doesn't open.
The extension works as expected when installed into the non-beta Flash Builder 4.6 32 bit verison.
I suspect there may be an incompatibility when switching to the 64 bit version of Flash Builder.

Hi everyone,
The problem is that Flash Builder 4.7 is not compatible with Extension Builder 2. Therefore we have provided Flash Builder 4.6 available for download, see links below.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you run into further problems.
Best regards,

Unable to install Extension Builder 2.1

I'm unable to install the 2.1 trial on a Windows 7 machine. I get a message saying:
'The setup has detected that no version of the Extension Builder 2.1 is installed. The specified command-line options require that the applicatoin be installed to continue. The setup will now terminate'
There's nothing showing ig the add remove programs dialog (I thought maybe a half install leaving stuff around. It's the ful trial install I donwloaded not an update, Any ideas?

Same problem here, but after I deleted all the "Extension Builder" -related registry keys, it ends me with these popups on any install try onward:
It says about upgrading (or downgrading in this case), tho it's my first time installing EB21, the trial version for now. Atm of the installation, I had eclipse with extension builder 3 (got from labs just a day before), none of them flash builders, and win7 as os. The initial message was the same "The setup has detected that no version of etc..", with that found my way here on these topics. After a full day and a half of trying almost anything adviced about the issue through searching, the message above remains constant. I've tried registry search/delete for keys(&parents), registry clean, installation with the flash builder 4.6 trial preinstalled, and also this solution for the Error: -1625 here, unfortunately no luck on any.
Lastly, I may also have messed up the thing myself... When I rolled the "find..." -command in regedit for the first time, on first match I deleted only the key (not parent) and continued search to the next one. Right after, realized to backup the registry. .. aand just after that, read the post about deleting also the parent of related keys. So with my rather limited knowledge about registry, there could be still this one set left, where only the searchword qualified key is removed and other related keys remains. Could this be the problem? Is there anyway to get through the installation?
I could go with EB3, but I need to make extensions for Photoshop CS6, so they'd benefit me in my job. I understood EB3 lacks support for CS6?.

Issues signing out of DPS Folio Builder in Indesign CS6?

Hi - I work on about 12 magazines with DPS and am pretty consistently getting a sign out error
seems minor but try it several times an hour, not so minor.
Unable to actually sign out of an account and into another via the Indesign Folio Builder pallette,
it seems to lock me into the magazine/account and no options to sign on to another. So what ends up
happening is quitting Indesign in order to switch accounts.
As we also use a publishing system it also means a lot of bureaucracy to get back into what
ought to be a simple switch. Is Adobe going to address this type of 'power user' - aside from
the ability to have a master account for all our magazines? or at least to be signed in on
multiple accounts? or failing that the ability to have magzines nested or in folders. I can use
one sign on for our K4 system, could something similar be in the works for DPS?
I heard a rumour that the whole UI is going to be revamped away from Flash on the web
side, but what does this mean for the Indesign user, will the controls match? As a lead on
multiple projects and multiple teams something a bit more flexible would be welcome.

When you update InDesign CS6, do you see an option for updating the DPS Desktop Tools? You can manually update the DPS Desktop Tools here:

Can't create menu and shortcut in Win2003 when install Oracle9.2

It can't create menu and shortcut in Windows server 2003 when install Oracle9.2.
And show the error message.

Several possible reasons.
Start by describing exactly what you did, including user ids (or at least desctriptions of them) and the permission that those user ids have.
And don't forget to detail which 'Windows 2003'. There are, as far as I know, several flavours of that product and there may be patches.

ZXP Not Created in Extension Builder 2.1 for an Extension Created in Extension Builder 1.5

Hi all,
We originally started creating InDesign extensions "manually" several years ago, as we did not yet want to pay for the original Extenson Builer 1.0. We produced our ZXP files from the contents of the bin-debug folder using Fabien Bizot's Java-based "ZXPPackager" utililty (http://www.lafabrick.com/),
When we finally installed Extension Builder 1.5, we had some problems creating ZXP with the built-in exporter for Abode Application Extension. Since the compiler put all the files into the bin-debug folder still, I could still use ZXPPackager.
We just upgraded to Extension Builder 2.1. For any legacy project, whether it was still "manually created" (i.e., without even Extenson Builder 1.5) and I copied the sources into a new Extension Builder project, or created in Extenson Builder 1.5 and converted to Extension Bulder 2.1, the Export to ZXP does not work. I see the compiler is creating a bin-release folder, then it disappears, and no ZXP is to be found. Since bin-debug no longer has all files in it like it used to, the ZXPPackager can't find what it's looking for and can't make a ZXP - so I am stuck.
Please - help!
mlavie

I have an update, and would greatly appreciate anyone's help:
Upon further investigation, the issue is not the Extension itself (regardless of whether it was created newly in EB2.1, in EB1.5, or created "manually" by building my own manifest, etc.).
The issue is that there are two library projects whose inclusion as project referennce in any Extension Builder project (regardless of whem/how it was created) causes the EB project not to produce a ZXP file using the Export wizard.
I tried deleting the 2 library projects, creating them anew empty - and they could be referenced successfully. I added back all the source files and this solved the problem, as of yesterday. Today, I tried building the ZXPs again, and it stopped working. I should mention that it appears that when the Export did work, it seemed to be changing the referenced project somehow. I noticed that they were given .mxi files, which I thought should not be created for a non EB project.
I should add (i'm about to post a seperate discussion) the Flash Builder error log is giving me a ton of Eclipse errors for many actions. Is this "normal"? By that, I mean is everyone getting those warnings and errors?
All help greatly appreciated.
