Problem launching LR5

I just downloaded a LR5 trial version. When i try to launch the program I get a message on my desktop that reads: Lightroom - Opening catalog: IMG_8100.CR2.lrcat. Then it bombs out and LR doesn't launch. I screen opens stating that windows is looking for a solution online. NOthing helps. How do i overcome this problem?
thanks

Clearly, this isn't a valid Lightroom catalog, and I'm not sure how Lightroom wound up thinking a .CR2 file was a catalog.
DId you previously try to do work in Lightroom with IMG_8100.CR2? What did you do?
I believe the solution is to delete your preferences file, and then Lightroom should open. The location of your preferences file is here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-4.html

  • "APPCRASH" trying to launch LR5.2 upgrade, catalog from LR3 stuck?

    I recently upgraded my LR3.2 to LR5.2 and upon launching LR5, I keep receiving a "assertion fail" message with "Lightroom - Opening Catalog: DSC_3768.dng.lrcat" displayed on my desktop. Neither system will launch (3 or 5) and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both. I have searched around and am at my wits end trying to figure out a solution so that I can begin using my new LR5.2, any advice/tips are welcome and greatly appreciated! ...I have a Windows PC.

    Quote ""Lightroom - Opening Catalog: DSC_3768.dng.lrcat"
    You have inadvertently created a Catalog using the name of an image file namely DSC_3768.dng.  It is recognized by Lightroom as an invalid format and cannot open. Use your OS via Win Explorer or Mac Finder an go to the Lightroom sub-folder where your Catalog files are stored and double click on a previous Catalog file and Lightroom should boot with that Catalog. If this solves your problem the you can remove the offending folder  DSC_3768.dng.lrcat"

  • Problems with LR5.7

    At the moment I’m having problems with LR5. Hopefully someone could help me…   
    When I’m in the ‘develop’ module I can’t see the changes I’ll make in the screen.
    For example; when I would like to crop an image the complete image appears in grey and I can’t see the image anymore.
    For example; when I would like to change the lightening from the picture, I can’t see the change I would like to make. Not on the screen and not in the navigator.
    I’ve already reinstalled LR and installed it again, but the problem still isn’t solved.   
    Could somebody please help me?! Many thanks in advanced!!! 

    The video card in your computer has a driver (which is software that allows it to operate). Depending on your computer and what video card it is, you would have to download the most current video driver and install it so that the problem can possibly be fixed.
    You have to look at your computer's specifications and determine what video card is used. That will determine how to find the most current driver.

  • Problems launching Bridge CS6

    CS6 Beta-on going problem launching CS6 Bridge. Will not open up but CS6 PS does and will work with CS5 Bridge. This obviously is a issue as others have posted this. Have also gone back via "Time Machine" and restored the original CS6 Bridge download which worked for one day, but this no longer works either. Hard to do a beta test when half the program doesn't work! *

  • Problems launching exernal .chm, part 2

    We have are having major issues trying to conver our Winhelp
    files to HTML. We have several .hlp files linked. Unfortunately we
    can't recreate those links in our .chm files. I have read and
    followed Pete Lees suggestions from the first "Problems launching
    exernal .chm" thread, but they don't work. Yes, we've made sure the
    .chm files are in the same directory. Each file works fine alone,
    so I know the import worked. The only way I've found to get the
    links to work is to import all the htmls from the second .chm into
    the first. That's not acceptable. Any other ideas for us?
    Thanks!

    Jane,
    The path that you specify in the Program Parameters field
    should match the actual path to the topic file inside the CHM. For
    example, if you've compiled the topic file into an "html" folder
    within the CHM then the path would be:
    ms-its:voipgenerators.chm::/
    html/sip001.htm
    To double-check what the path is, open the target topic in
    the CHM, right-click the topic pane, and then click Properties on
    the context menu. The address shown in the Address (URL) field is
    the absolute path to the topic file.

  • Problem launching mail App on ipad2

    Whenever I try to open the mail app it immediate closes.
    The contacts, mail, calendars setting cannot be opened either. When I highlight that option, i get kicked out of settings back to the home screen.
    This, also, happens when I try to access Notes settings. However, there is no problem launching the Notes app.
    I've already shut down the mail app, rebooted the device and restored to the original factory settings.
    My mail app includes gmail, hotmail and Lotus Mail (enterprise)
    I've reloaded Lotus Mail.
    Issue started last week with ios 6.  I migrated to 6.0.1 with the same results

    I am having problems launching the standalone version of Lightroom 6 after I have gone through the install and activation process? Lightroom starts to open but "hangs" before any photos in the catalgue are displayed. I have contacted the chat support twice but they have not been able to fix the problem.

    I went through the activation process yesterday and shut down my PC when I went to bed last evening. When I got up this morning and turned my PC on and then started Lightrom 6 (I upgraded from version 5) it started to launch but then just hung and became "not responsive". I I then uninstalled and then reinstalled the product today but the same thing happened. What is weird is that when I install from the standalone file I downloaded when I purchased the upgrade it looks like it's downloading the software again over the Internet? I have been having these problems for the last four or five days. I have contacted the chat support folks twice and they were able to get it working but whatever they did did not last as the problem reappeared again once the PC was shut down and then started up again.

  • Problems extracting LR5.6  upgrade files after download

    Hello!
    I've just completed installing a LR5 upgrade from a DVD.
    After this, I downloaded the latest upgrade which i this case was is LR5.6.
    My problem is that I am unable to extract the files in the upgrade.
    I just get a message from the installer telling me that there is a problem extracting some files and to check that there is enough memory on my computer. The message also suggest to check that I am authourized to use the target folder for the extraction.
    I've reinstalled LR5, I've tryed downloading a new upgradefolder several times, I've tryed extracting it in different folders.
    There is enough memory and my computer system meets the requirements. (I'am the administrator of course.)
    Anybody has a solution?
    Thanks in advance!
    Felix
    PS below is an image of the message I get when trying to extract files (in swedish though).

    Hello Jeff!
    And thanks for your answer.
    Yes i've tried extracting/installing both updates (5.5 and 5.6). The outcome was the same in both cases. Same message with 5.6 as the one in my screenshot.
    There is some information in this but I can't figure out what it is.

    Felix2 from your screen shot it appears you are attempting to download and extract the Lightroom 5.5 update/installer.  Do you receive the same error downloading the 5.6 update at Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6?  Each update contains the full installer so you do not need to have a previous version of Lightroom installed prior to installing Photoshop Lightroom 5.6.

  • Problem launching e-biz forms using Java JRE 1.6.0_07 and JRE 1.6.0_13

    Got a problem launching Forms from e-biz 11.5.10.2 using JRE 1.6.
    Our setup :
    E-biz: 11.5.10.2
    Forms: 6i Patchset 19
    DB: 10.2.0.3
    JRE: 1.6.0_07 (e-biz is config to use this version)
    on windows desktop clients:
    JRE: 1.6.0_13
    As a non-privileged user account on the workstation, users cannot launch the forms using the 1.6.0_13 JRE.
    When a privilieged(Admin) user account logs in, the forms launch fine using 1.6.0_13.
    We understand that IA enforces many policy settings in our environment, but can anyone identify which types of policy settings would break this access?
    Thanks everyone!
    Gabe

    Thanks for the docs! We've reviewed them, and are satisfied that the JRE family of 1.6 is working properly.
    Our issue is that there are some windows security policies/ maybe group policies, that are restricting the launching of the forms using the newer 1.6.0_13 JRE. This is what we are after, and I would like to know if anyone else has faced similar issue.
    Some more clarification:
    if the workstation has the 1.6.0_07 JRE, and a non-privileged account logs in, the forms launch fine.
    Once 1.6.0_13 is pushed (as our NetAdmin is requesting), the non-privileged account cannot launch forms. Instead, they get an active X request to install 1.6.0_07, which they do not have privilege to install.
    Hope this helps.
