Stub requires Shockwave player?

While testing my stub projector on a new machine I have come accross the 'This application requires Shockwave Player 11, which can not be found. Click on OK to download it' application error. With the stub projector does the user need the shockwave player? Is there any way round this?

I thought for sure you'd see my post to you in the Verisign thread from two days ago where you first asked this question... the list of dll's in my post are the ones you need.
Yes I saw that thanks. It seems to have done the trick.
I re-posted the question here because I thought the issue was not appropriate for the 'Lingo' section.

  • Director won't work on OS X: "This application requires Shockwave Player 11"

    Taking a Macromedia Director project and upgrading to Adobe Director (needing to upgrade for several reasons), I found that the published app no longer works on OS X.  The error message appears as follows:
    "Application Error
    This application requires Shockwave Player 11, which can not be found. Click OK to download it."
    In console:
    Error loading /(path)/my.app/Contents/Frameworks/IMLLib.framework/IMLLib: dlopen(/(path)/my.app/Contents/Frameworks/IMLLib.framework/IMLLib, 262): no suitable image found. Did find: /(path)/my.app/Contents/Frameworks/IMLLib.framework/IMLLib: unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x58 0x53 0x79 0x6D 0x0A
    I made sure that it was being published as a projector, and not as a shockwave.  I also tried publishing to an HFS filesystem as opposed to local to an ntfs system (I'm running Adobe Director on Vista).  Oddly enough, when I originally ran this project on an XP machine (now deceased) this issue did not occur.
    Thanks in advance to any help anyone can give!

    This sounds very much like what started happening with my Director-based apps. Perhaps something in that forum thread will help or at least shed a clue, but if anyone comes up with a surefire fix for this, I and my customers would love to hear it.

  • App Error requires Shockwave Player 11?

    Hello,
    I made a standard Mac projector and published it. On my
    desktop all works dandy, however when I burn it to a CD I get this
    Application Error;
    This application requires Shockwave Player 11, which can not
    be found. Click on OK to download it.
    First off I'm confused since I chose the Standard projector
    and Not the Shockwave in the Publishing settings. Second it plays
    fine until it's burned to a CD.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks a bunch. :o)>

    Hello Sean,
    So I tried what you suggested and still same issue. So I
    went and downloaded the Shockwave11 anyway and now I get a new
    error. The dreaded 'Unable to load movie playlist. Does the INI
    file exsist? It must contain a section '(Movies)' with an entry
    'Movies01=pathname.dir'.
    I know something is missing on the burned CD, I just don't
    know what.
    I located the INI files and included them with the burn but
    they aren't recognized. (they are grey'd out on CD) I don't
    remember having this much difficulty making the transition from
    Director 9 to 10. Starting to wish I would have stuck with 10 after
    all these issues.
    Any Ideas?

  • Shockwave player for WinXP x64

    Not a lot of things seem to require Shockwave player except jigsaw puzzles.  For a long time I thought there was a site problem with msnbc.com regarding their jigsaw puzzle page in that there was never a puzzle displayed and no error messages as to why not.  After several emails with their tech support I went to adobe.com and downloaded the latest Shockwave player and installed it.  The result was then an error message about the player. 
    Turns out the only way I could get the puzzles to work was by going to oldapps.com and downloading an older version of Shockwave player (10.3.0.24).  Now the puzzles display, but regularly I get notifications that a new version of the player is available.  My browser shows that the plugin for Shockwave player needs to be updated as well.  When I go to a site that tests the Shockwave player, it fails with any newer version of the player.
    To further add to the problem, some sites that offer jigsaw puzzles apparently test to see if I have the latest version of the Shockwave player and pop-up an error notice.

    Since this is a "Discussion" forum, my only question is what don't you understand about "Discussion"?  The post was merely information sharing for XP x64 users of Shockwave Player.

  • Unable to Install Macromedia Shockwaver Player

    I have installed Macromedia Shockwaver Player before without
    any problems. However, when I tried to install it on my laptop
    computer with Windows 2000 Professional, it got an error while it
    was installing. The error states "Could not load the DLL library
    C:\WINNT\system32\Kernel32.dll (GetSystemWow64DirectoryA). The
    specified procedure could not be found." Now, I have just installed
    Shockwave the day before on this very same computer with everything
    the same on it. I had to reformat my hardrive and reinstall
    Windows, but again, I did the reformat and reinstall couple times
    before and installed Shockwave Player without having run into this
    problem. I'd like anyone to suggest what the problem might be and
    help me resolve it.

    Well, Adobe obviously has done all their versions of
    Shockwave Player to not support Win2k any more, because it was just
    last week I was able to visit sites that requires Shockwave Player
    without getting the DDL error. Now, I'm not able to either install
    or visit sites that requires Shockwave. The following is what I
    requested of Adobe and got from them and then requested again:

    Monday, January 14, 2008 3:02:28 PM PST
    I find the response from Samuel really useless. To start
    with, I am pretty sure that this problem is due to Adobe's fault,
    for I hav
    e successfully able to install and use Adobe Shockwave just a
    week ago. Now this new problem started occuring late last week, and
    I
    have posted my problem on Adobe's Shockwave forum. One can
    visit it at
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?
    forumid=44&catid=185&threadid=1328948&enterthread=y
    . As someone who reads, it was just not me who was having the
    problem, and I was
    able to make the conclusion that Adobe has suddenly stopped
    support for any Windows OS prior to XP. However, that forum is only
    vis
    isted by web users who are not really able to solve specific
    problem except maybe at giving some pointers. Now Mr. Samuel V. has
    als
    o given me links to Shockwave FAQ and Shockwave Player
    Support Site. I want to now emphasize that I have visited both
    those sites an
    d read thoroughly the contents there, but was unable to solve
    my current problem, and that was why I made a contact Customber
    Servic
    e. As for Samuel's help, I kindly appreciate. However, I am
    displeased at this response since it does get me anywhere near my
    soluti
    on. I hope he or someone would kindly contact Adobe for
    someone who can help in getting this solved. Since he has given me
    an ID num
    ber, Adobe staffs can easily view my original issue,
    furthermore, I hereby have given the link to the Shockwave forum
    page where I p
    osted my original problem and where others are having the
    same issue. For now, I wait for a satisfactory reply from anyone
    who is wi
    lling to help.

  • Prevent shockwave player from trying to install 3rd party software?

    I am a sysadmin for a relatively small-ish enterprise (around 50-ish PCs).  We have scripts which push out shockwave player to all our systems but when a user loads a page which requires shockwave, they get a UAC prompt because the player is trying to install 3rd party software (usually Google Chrome browser).  How do I stop this from happening?  Is there a command line argument I can set (preferable method) or some other centrally-managed method for turning this off?  Thanks in advance.
    M

    I guess I am not explaining myself very well. 
    I am currently using the EXE full installer from the distribution page.  The installation works very well and I can get it to run in "silent" mode to avoid interaction with the user.  Once the installation finishes, and I load a web page which requires Shockwave player, I get prompted at that point to download/install Chrome.  That is the part I would like to know if it's possible to stop, because all our users are getting UAC prompts and it's always because Shockwave wants to run some installer after loading.  I had hoped that going to the distribution version (as opposed to the straight download from the Adobe.com home page) would resolve this but they seem to be the same version, which makes me wonder why I bothered to sign up for it in the first place.

  • Shockwave Player and Safari

    I was on a web site and received the message that to view certain content I would need to install Shockwave Player. I went to the Adobe site downloaded and installed the mac version. Everything seemed to install properly. When I went back to the site that I needed the player for I got a pop up message saying I needed to launch Safari in 32 bit mode. The problem is that when I click ok on this message Safari freezes, I can't relaunch it or close the window. So I force quit Safari from the Apple menu. If I then go to the finder and set Safari to open in 32 bit it will launch and display the content on that site properly. However I don't really want to keep Safari in 32 but if I don't, any site I go to that requires the player will now freeze Safari requiring me to force quit again.
    So I ran the Shockwave uninstaller after which I can go to those sites but of course can't view the content but at least Safari doesn't freeze up. However I realized that at least that one site had worked in Firefox prior to my installing and uninstalling the player. Of course now even Firefox won't display that content since I've uninstalled it telling me I need a plugin but when I click that it tells me an applicable plugin cannot be found and that I will need to manually install one. Of course that would take me back to where I was with Safari freezing up on those sites unless it's already in 32 bit mode. I'm using Safari 5.0.1 on OS 10.6.4 Is there a way to rectify this short of always running Safari in 32 bit?

    It seems you're stuck: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51273.html
    Further, "As of July 2010, Adobe has not announced future plans for 64-bit native Shockwave Players."
    I'm not sure it's worth installing it again. If it were just a matter of launching Safari in 32 bit mode I might do it if it were something I really wanted to see but since Safari always freezes after that pop up message requiring me to force quit, it seems like too much of a hassle to me.

  • Shockwave Player Not Working... PLEASE HELP!

    Every single time I try to go into something like a game or
    something else that requires the use of shockwave player, a screen
    pops up that says somehting like 'you must restart your computer in
    order for shockwave installation to be complete.' The thing is, I
    have already downloaded and restarted the player. So each time I
    get this message, I restart my computer and when I go back to where
    I wanted to go, the same message keeps coming up over and over
    again, no matter how many times I restart. What is going on here,

  • Why is the Shockwave player not requesting the root crossdomain.xml

    Hi,
    I have a Director movie (DCR) that is presented to visitors to my website. The DCR is actually downloaded from a separate Content Delivery Network (CDN).
    On startup, the DCR connects to my original website to retrieve some additional information that is presented to the visitor. But because the DCR comes the CDN, when it attempts to access my website a warning dialog appears informing the visitor that the DCR is attempting to access another site and asking them to allow or deny access.
    I did some reading of the Adobe docs and found that from version 11.5, the Shockwave player will skip this dialog if the referenced domain includes a cross domain policy file that permits access. The movie can load a specific policy from the target domain, but if it doesn't the docs say that the player will read the default crossdomain.xml from the root of the target network.
    So I created and deployed the default crossdomain.xml as described in the documentation and redeployed my application. However, when the DCR started the same dialog appeared warning about the cross domain reference and asking me to allow or deny it.
    I thought perhaps there was an error in how I deployed the cross domain file, but when I checked more closely I discovered that Shockwave player never even requested the file from the target server.
    Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Am I missing some step that is required to make the player request the default cross domain policy file?
    Thanks in advance for any help people can offer.
    Damian

    I thought this had been fixed in the latest version of the installer, but perhaps not. Try the option suggested in this thread

  • Reproducible Shockwave player error under Mac OSX 10.6.3

    I develop Shockwave "jigsaw" puzzles with Director.  Sample at kayingleside.com.  My clients are experiencing problems with the most recent Shockwave player under Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.  Play a jigsaw at the above web site to experience the problem. 
    When you click on a puzzle piece it vanishes.  You can drag the mouse around as you would to move the puzzle piece but it is difficult to position correctly as the piece is invisible.  When you release the mouse button the piece reappears correctly in it's repositioned location. 
    I can reproduce this behavior myself on a Mac 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.  2 GB 800 MHz DDR-2 FB-DIMM;  OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3;   Shockwave  player 11.5.9r620.  The problem does NOT appear when playing the jigsaw puzzle within Director 11 under Snow Leopard nor  when running OSX 10.5.8.

  • I just switched from an HP laptop to a MacAir. I am trying to view videos from within my power points. These were played on Adobe player and shockwave player. Is it safe to install that on a Mac? If not how can I play these?

    I just switched from an HP laptop to a MacAir laptop. I had previously developed a number of powerpoints in which i have video links that require adobe shockwave player. I can no longer play them on the MacAir. Is it safe to download the Adobe player? If not how can I play these videos now?

    Adobe players are safe.  Go to adobe.com and their site should detect the latest version for your hardware.

  • Adobe Shockwave Player download catch 22

    When I try to download the newest version of Adobe Shockwave Player (from Adobe - Adobe Shockwave Player) it doesn't work. After clicking the 'download' button, I get this error: "This page contains a new Shockwave format movie that the current Shockwave plug-in cannot handle. Would you like to download the newer version of the plug-in?" with the options "Yes" or "No". If I click yes, it sends me back to the last page I was on, creating a catch 22. To download Shockwave, I need Shockwave. If I choose no, it does nothing and only shows me another Adobe product. Is there a download link that does not require me to use Shockwave before downloading and installing it?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Nevermind, it works now. I uninstalled my current version and installed the newest version and it works now. Problem solved!

  • Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1 and forced reboot

    Hello I work for a company with 8k computers and we use IEM (IBM Endpoint Manager) distribution tool. We started Adobe product patching in January and we encountered unexpected forced reboot on some Windows 8 computers. IEM creates installation scripts automatically and I have noticed that there are two installation files: sw_lic_full_installer.exe  and sw_lic_slim_installer.exe. I have performed some test with both packages and on one PC where I tried sw_lic_slim_installer.exe the FORCED REBOOT occurred. I have checked event viewer logs and found the following lines:
    Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: swMSM. Product Version 12.0.0.1. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems, Inc. installation success or error status:0
    Windows Installer requires a system restart. Product Name: swMSM. Product Version 12.0.0.1. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems, Inc. installation success or error status:0
    Ending a Windows Installer transaction: C:\windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Schockwave 12\swMSM.msi. Client Process Id: 220.
    The Windows Installer initiated a system restart to complete system restart to complete or continue the configuration of "swMSM".
    Could you please explain me when Adobe Shockwave Player updates force a reboot? Unfortunately all updates are packed in exe files so I don't know any way how to suppress the reboot.
    Additionally after the installation of the patch we see 2 entries in the control panel:
    Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0
    Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1
    Can you tell me how to get rid of the Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0 entry?  Thanks in advance!

    I had the same problem on an iMac but managed to download and install shockwave 11, see Adobe - Webplayer
    There appeared a notice for incompatibility, but was able to continue installation. Apps (not requiring sw 12) did run after.
