Pixel Bender install issue

I have been trying to install Pixel Bender on a Window7 64-bit pc in Photoshop CS5 Extended. I am using the 64-bit Pixel Bender Plug-in. On my first attempt I did not run the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 as administrator. I removed the files and ran the install again. The files are in the plug-in/filter directory but do not appear under filters when Photoshop is opened. Is there a permission set wrong or a missing shortcut that needs to be established? CS4 was on the PC but has been removed before the last install. The pc has been rebooted.

The pixel bender files are in
adobe/adobe photoshop cs5 (64bit)/
which is at the same level as plug-ins
within plug-ins I have the filters folder which has pixel benders, average, vanishing point, etc.
I do not see the oilpaint filter anywhere.
When I open the keyboard shortcuts & menus, the filter options do not include pixle bender in the list

Pixel Bender install problem

Hello,
I cannot for the life of me get Pixel Bender installed on my windows xp pc. I get an error that says;
"pixel bender critical errors where found please see log file"
I do not know how to solve this, I did have a trial of CS4 which had the same error message when I tried to uninstall that. I looked around and was advided to use the clean script which I did to remove it and get rid of the reg entries.
I can't find a way around this, someone please help.
Neil

        float3 pixelPos = float3(0.0,0.0,0.0);
        float3 Kd = float3(pixel.r,pixel.g,pixel.b);
        float3 lightDir = lightPosition - pixelPos;
        float diffuse = dot(Normal,normalize(lightDir));
        float3 res = Kd * (diffuse);
        dst = pixel4(res.x,res.y,res.z,pixel.a);

Downloaded correct version of Pixel Bender, installed it, tried to open Extension Manager which opens but no programs or files listed, nothing available, install button / choice greyed out, unable to do anything but click to open sales page (aka Exchange). Downloaded/reinstalled Extension manager, still blank options, nothing happens when I CMD-O now what?

Thanks. That worked. I had not gone to the .exe part of the file to apply the "run as administrator".

Installation Issues Pixel Bender Photoshop Cs5

I have read previous threads with the same issues installing Pixel Bender in PH SC5.
I have Windows 7 and I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and I also keep getting the error message of not having permission to install the software.
I am not computer friendly so perhaps I need more simple instructions to get this to work. So I understand I have to right click on Adobe Extension Mananger 5 to run as administrator. Does that mean I fist have to download Adobe Extension Manger 5, open the zip file and click on the SET UP folder?
Then download the pixelbender plug-in AND WHAT? I went this route and double clicked on the plug in which opens Adobe Mananger 5 which again tells me I have no permission to run it.
Please be as simple as possible and step by step, apparently this is an issue with a few other people.
Thank you for your help!

this is a common issue, please see the discussion in this post to the forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751576?tstart=0

How do I install new filters in Pixel Bender

How do I get the new filters in the pixel bender menu? I download them from Pixel Bender Exchange but there are no instructions.I can't find them anywhere with google searches.
I tried just unzipping the files and putting the pbj and pdk files into the pixel Bender files folder in Photoshop, but that returns an error message when I attempt to use it.
I then tried just putting in the pdk files in since that is what is alredy in the folder, but I just get the same error message.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong. This is in the 64 version of Photoshop (Windows 7). I appreciate any help you can give me.

Yes, the tool kit runs on my machine, though I have to admit the syntax is beyond me at this point. I will have to let other people create the filters.
I could not find anything that said "Driver Provider" or"Driver Date". Maybe in my computer it is not quite the same arrangement. I have copied the information I find when I go to the NVIDA control panel, and click on System information. Perhaps it will tell you what you need to know

Installed pixel bender but it doesn't show up under filter

I am running CS5 Standard 64 bit Windows 7 Professional and downloaded and ran "pixelbenderplugin_p2_64bit_090910.mxp" that appeared to end successfully however; pixel bender doesn't show in the filters drop down list. I could not see how I directed the plugin in CS5 edit preferences. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks............Ralph

Duuuh. I finally figured it out. I had to right click on the Cs5 Extension Manager and not the executable file which was what I was doing. Right clicked the Extension Manager and selected run in administrator mode and it ran successfully. Started CS5 and the pixel bender filter was there.
Thanks you all so much and I am sorry to have caused you to waste so much time. If you don't mind and know the answer, why when I get this same message when installing other plugins just responding continue allows it to work fine.
Again thank you for fixing my problem..........Ralph

Failure to install PS update 12.0.2 now seen in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5

I spent several hours with Adobe support yesterday and the day before trying to resolve a failed install for CS5 PS update 12.0.2. Apparently, this is now a known (and acknowledged) problem and an effort to fix is underway. This a.m. I noticed the Adobe updater was prompting me to download and install not only PS 12.0.2, but also update 2.5 for Flash Pro CS5 Adobe Pixel Bender. I'm writing this to report that the installations for both products failed this time. Apparently the install problems are not limited to PS. My very reliable software platform is Win XP (SP3) with plenty of disk space, memory and processor power.

Does anyone know why it would fail on this update? I was able to do some of the earlier updates, but then failed on these.
When I clicked help->Updates,
These shows up for me.

Adobe Flash Pro CS5 4.9MB

Pixel Bender is NOT installing Please help!

I have The Creative Suite Version 5.5, which includes Photoshop CS 5.1. I'm trying to install the Pixel Bender Plugin for Photoshop CS5.1. I run at x64 bit and I'm attempting to install the correct plugin version. However, when I double click on the MXP file it opens up Adobe Extensions Manager 5.5 and goes through the process to install the plugin, when finished, the plugin isn't listed on the Extensions Manager. I don't get a error or any kind. The plugin simply doesn't show up. I have restarted my computer, downloaded the latest version of Adobe Air and Flash Player. I have repaired permissions on my computer. I'm really at a loss here. Can anyone help? Oh and I'm Running a Mac with Lion. Thank you in advance.

I spent all day yesterday trying to install PB into my PS5, and it will not work. Then I got smart and started to search the forums, and it has been DISCONTINUED! This means that you cannot get it to work.
Though I did see someone say that you can get PB into PS3. Which I still have, so we are awaiting to see if anyone on those forums has any info on that.
Oil Paint, which is the one filter in PB that we all want, has been put into PS6 as an included filter. But we are awaiting some of our classmates who have already updated to PS6, to tell us if they like it. I wont upgrade to the new version yet.
I realize that this forum has not been added to for a year, but hope my answer helps those of us who are really interested in Oil Paint.

Pixel Bender will not install

I downloaded Pixel Bender and have tried both auto and manual install into my
Photoshop 5> Extension Manager, but it keeps telling me that it cannot install
into my 32 bit Photoshop 5 PC program. Also installed Adobe Air in case I needed
it.
Message I keep getting is...
"Extension can not be installed, it requires 32 bit or 64bit Photoshop ver5 or later"
What could I be doing wrong for it to not install?
I've got plenty of memory and disk space along with an Intel i5
processor. I've installed all updates to my Photoshop 5 that I purchased
when it first came out.
....Ellen

Thanks for your response.
Photoshop is running in 32-bit mode, as most of my plug ins are not yet 64 bit.
This error dialog appears before the gallery opens.
All my images are under 4096 px wide. I tried using a much smaller image. Same message.
I tried increasing the available memory in preferences. Same message.
I tried lowering the available memory in preferences. Same message.
My Mac Mini has an NVidia 9500M, which is listed as one of the cards that support GPU processing for Pixel Bender. Memory is shared with the CPU, but that should not be relevant - many others would have had my complaint if that mattered.

Cannot Install Pixel Bender on my Master suite 5.5 Student Edition

Does any one know if there is any limitation on the student edition for add-ons? When I try to download the Plug-in (Pixel Bender from Adobe Labs) file all gibberish comes up on the screen. I spent several hours with Adobe support, who bounced me around to 4 different people. None could help. I was able to download the file on a different (PC) computer & save on a flash drive,. When I try ti install it on this Apple iMac using Extension Manager it says that it can't find the installer file. Has any one faced this problem?

After spending several hours yesterday with different Adobe Help Lines to solve this problem and still being unable to install on this Apple iMac, I posted this question on the forum. Today I decided to try again, lo and behold it worked the first time! I still had to use the installation file that was downloaded on another PC and saved on a flash drive. I just can't believe. It now works, that's all what matters to me.

Pixel Bender did not install with CS4 on Win7 64. Downloaded toolkit, message "installer failed to initialize"

Pixel Bender did not install with CS4 on Win7 64. Downloaded toolkit, message "installer failed to initialize"
What should I try next?
Thank you, and happy Holidays!

What I had installed was CS4 Desin Premium on Win7 64 bit. Pixel bender seems to be installed, but nothing happens when I launch and it doesn't show in Photoshop 32 or 64...
Thanks

Can't install pixel bender for CS4

When I click on the download for pixel bender for CS4, it downloads the one for CS5. Can someone give me the correct file to download? I need one for both 32 bit and 64 bit (two different computers). Thanks!

Thanks for the summary--it definitely helped. The problem you are describing is well known and has been discussed, documented, and resolved many times and in many places. You need to run Adobe Extension Manager CS4 as administrator (right-click the Adobe Extension Manager executable and select "Run as administrator" from the contextual menu) in order to install the Extension. This is necessary because of the elevated privileges required to access the Program Files directory and sub-directories. Please see the installation instructions found here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbenderplugin/ or my answer (posed in the form of a question) in this message http://forums.adobe.com/message/3877496#3877496.

Installing Pixel bender

Yes has anybody had any trouble downloading Pixel bender using CS5 extension manager? I keep geting the message I do not have administrative permissions. Even though I have all administrative permissions on my ImacG5 10.6.7. Is there a way around this or has anybody have the anaswer.

yes I had no trouble downloading pixel bender from the web. As administrator of my computer I should have no problem installing, but no matter what I do keeps telling me I do not have administrative permissions.

Just to be clear, I assume by "downloading" you mean you're seeing this problem when installing the Pixel Bender extension via Extension Manager, correct? You were able to successful download the Pixel Bender extension from the web, correct?
