Unable to install Custom Panel

I have a custom panel but I am unable to install it in version 13.01 of photoshop.
I have tried to contact the person that sent me the panel but I am not getting any response.
Having read various reports about this, i was wondering if Adobe are aware of the issue and if they are planning a fix for it.
In the meantime does anyone know how I can get the contents of the ZXP file extracted or any other way of getting the panel re-instated

If you have gpc file of your panel, you can export the extension again with Configurator 3.1.1. There is a compatibility issue.
In your case, you only have the exported extension. You can send your extension to [email protected], I can help you to solve the compatibility issue of your panel.

  • Unable to install on windows

    Hi,
    I am trying to install the client on windows XP but get the error message:
    unable to install custom DSN client.
    anyone an idea what the problem might be??
    thx.

    Steven,
    Are you using TimesTen 6.0.4? There was an issue found on 6.0.4 where the Installshied DLL was misnamed. There are two options to get around this problem:
    1. Install the full product (instead of the client only). The TimesTen installation is lightweight and should not be much of an overhead to your XP machine;
    OR
    2. Download the TimesTen 6.0.3 version (this does not have the client DSN problem you encountered)
    Please let us know if you are able to move forward with one of the two options.

  • How to install custom XMP Get Info Panels in Adobe Bridge CC

    Adobe changed their way they store the custom XMP Get Info Panels in Adobe Bridge CC. Check out this blog to see how you can install the XMP Get Info Panels that you used in Adobe Bridge CS6 in Adobe Bridge CC:
    http://www.databasepublish.com/blog/installing-custom-metadata-panels-and-get-info-panels- adobe-bridge-cc

    Check your Bridge preferences.  It seems that you have the "Don't process images larger than…" option set to a lower amount than some of your files.
    So, don't blame it on Bridge, but on the user who neglects that setting.

    Chris,
    Your suggestion to use Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to solve my problem worked!  Many thanks for the suggestion.
    For anyone who wants to use Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:  Microsoft no longer supports this utility and you will no longer be able to download it from their site.  I found a copy of it at:
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.sh tml
    Please note that after you install it, you will have to go find it in Start -> All Programs (Windows XP), launch it, select Adobe AIR, and click the Remove button.

  • HP Envy 5532 Printer - unable to install a driver with full functionality

    Hi we have purchased a HP Envy 5532 all-in-one and were advised (and as stated on the packaging) that it will print 2 sided automatically.
    So far we have followed the instructions on various sites but we do not appear to have the option in the printer's Preferences  to be able to select 2 sided printing from the drop down list on the layout screen as there is no drop down list in there to select from as illustrated in the screen grab below:
    The options to the left of the screen grab allow me to select a manual 2 sided option where it will prompt us to reload the paper manually but no automatic options?
    Our operating system is: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and we have been on www.hp.com and downloaded the appropriate driverfor this environment.
    The driver currently installed is: HP Envy 5530 Series Class Driver - the driver would not install off the disk which came with the printer so this was the recommended official download via the HP website
    We have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor supplied on HP Connected it found issues with the driver "the Driver does not have full functions installed" and attempted to download a fully featured driver - this has failed again and again.... to load
    We then downloaded and ran the "HP Installation failure unknown device" application and followed this to the letter 5 times!!! all this did was to stop the printer working at all. It ran until the install stage and then it keeps coming up unable to install on network - the printer is there on our network with an IP address???
    We disabled all Firewalls and ran the install without any start up items running via misconfig options as directed but still it fails at the same point on installation.
    We had to uninstall all HP drivers and let the PC "add a printer" via the Control Panel options which it has and we are able to print again but we do not have full functionality as we still can not print automatic 2 sided copies and when we run HP Print and Scan Doctor it still recognises that we do not have full functionality!!!
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks  Steve

    @Steve_Reeder, welcome to the Community
    I read through your post about how you do not have access to the full software and options for your Envy 5532, as the Full Feature driver is not installing successfully on your Windows 8.1 system. I saw that you have tried various troubleshooting steps, such as a Clean Boot (msconfig), the Print and Scan Doctor, etc.
    I will do my best to make some helpful suggestions to you to try out.
    It seems as though you are trying to install on your network, could you possibly try installing the printer as a USB connection, and afterwards converting the USB connection to wireless through the HP software (applies to wireless connection and not ethernet)? If you're installing ethernet, skip this suggestion.
    You could also try installing the printer under a Clean Boot (msconfig) and turn off your firewall, under a new user account with Admin Privileges, to see if that will work.
    Another idea would be to run the System File Checker to see if this scan will pick up any issues:
    Using System File Checker to Restore System Files
    Please let me know your findings thus far, and if you notice any error messages or codes, let me know all of the details.
    I hope to hear from you, enjoy your Wednesday

  • How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

    Hi Everyone
    My name is Daté.
    I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
    I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
    Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
    When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
    The main idea is to (Theory) :
    create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
    Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
    Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
    Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
    I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
    But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
    Here is the process :
    I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
    I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
    In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
    The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
    To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
    The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
      Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
    The panel appears empty
    The others panel are also empty
    The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
    When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
    I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
    I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
    It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
    I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
    It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Best regards,
    Daté 

    Hi Sunil,
    After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
    There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
    METHOD 1 :
    I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
    In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
    The plugin install an XMP project
    In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
    A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
    You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
    The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
    Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
    I try this way several times, with no good results.
    METHOD 2 :
    I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
    In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
    As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
    The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
    When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
    The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
    The second method seems to be the right way.
    For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
    So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
    I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
    Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is  :
    A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
    A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
    A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
    How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    Best Regards
    Daté

  • Unable to install iTunes 10.5 on Win 7 laptop - "Problem with Windows Installer program"

    I get the following when trying to install version 10.5
    I have uninstalled everything Apple, emptied temp files, restarted the computer and I'm still unable to install the lasted iTunes.
    Any thoughts?

    1. Go to softpedia.com
    2. In the search box in softpedia.com web site type in 'Windows Installer Cleanup Utility'. Click on GO
    3  On the next page, at the bottom you will see in blue 'Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 2.5.0.1 by Microsoft'
    4 Click on that link and it will take you to another page. On the left side you will see a 'download' button in blue colour. Click on that button and it will take you to the next page.
    5 Click on link that reads: 'Softpedia Mirror (US) exe', A download window will appear. Click on 'save file'.
    6 Install 'Windows Installer ClenaUp Utility' program.
    7 After installing program, open up the program and scroll down the list till you find 'Apple Software Update'
    8 Highlight it and click remove.
    9 Now you can install itunes 10.5
    This is exactly what I did and it worked for me like a charm. I even updated my iphone with IOS 5 tonight.
    There is another way which I learned later which is easier and faster. I am running Windows 7. Go to 'Control Panel'. Scroll down to 'Programs and Features' and click on it. Scroll down till you see 'Apple Software Update' and right click on it and click 'uninstall' and then install itunes 10.5. That should work also. I've heard that some people can't see it in control panel so the other way would be to do as I did and download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. I hope I've made this as simple as possible for you. Good luck.

  • Unable to Install Photoshop CS5 on Windows 8

    I'm unable to install Photoshop CS5 on Windows 8.  A copy of the installation log is listed below.  The first time I tried installing, I had Norton 360 enabled, right-clicked the DVD-ROM drive and selected to execute the installer.  It failed at about 5%.  Then, I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled Adobe AIR, disabled Norton 360, ran the Creative Suite Cleanup Tool, and then rebooted back into Safe Mode.  This time, I browsed the DVD-ROM drive, right-clicked on the set-up.exe file and selected Run As Administrator.  Same thing as before.  It failed at 5%.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Nested Menus Not Appearing in a Custom Panel Fly-out Menu

    I tried to create a menu for a custom panel, using the example which David Clark graciously pointed out to me:
    http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/sdk/1.0/docs/WebHelp/programmers_guide/cus tomizing_the_ui.htm
    However, the nested menu items do not appear. I only see Item 1 and Item 2 (and the separator and Item 3), but not Item 2-1. I was expecting to see Item 2-1 nested under Item 2.
    I used the menu structure provided in the example (note that there is an error in the example - one of the closing tags is incorrectly specified as "<MenuItem/>" instead of "</MenuItem>"). Below is the corrected XML and my code:
    protected function createMenu():void
       var xmlMenu:XML =
        <Menu>
          <MenuItem Id="item_1" Label="Item 1"/>
          <MenuItem Label="Item 2">
            <MenuItem Label="Item 2-1"/>
          </MenuItem>
          <MenuItem Label="---"/>
          <MenuItem Label="Item 3"/>
         </Menu>;
        CSXSInterface.instance.addEventListener(MenuClickEvent.FLYOUT_MENU_CLICK, menuClickHandler);
        var menuAdded:SyncRequestResult = CSXSInterface.getInstance().setPanelMenu(xmlMenu);
        if (SyncRequestResult.COMPLETE != menuAdded.status)
         trace("Unable to add menu");
       public function menuClickHandler(event:MenuClickEvent):void
           switch (event.menuName) //you can also use the menuId
        case "Item 1":
        trace("Item 1 has been clicked");
        break;
        default:
        trace("clicked " + event.menuName);
    I'd appreciate it if somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong.
    TIA,
    mlavie

    Hi Bob,
    Any news? BTW - the example should be corrected - there is a tag incorrectly closed.

  • Unable to install Boot Camp 3.1 on Win 7 on iMac Intel (suggestions?)

    I got the OEM version of Windows 7, professional and 64 bits, and installed it via Boot Camp Assistant. Got it running (no keyboard recognition), and tried to install Boot Camp for Win 7 via the Apple site:
    "Unable to install 3.1, needs 3.0".
    No problem, insert OSX disk (10.6.3), click, aaand:
    "Boot Camp 64bit is not supported on this model"
    Uh?,... I thought that my machine was supported (it's running Win7 64bits!),... any suggestions?. Am I doing something wrong?. Any help will be appreciated.

    Unfortunately I cannot answer your question but I'm hoping someone can help us. I went a step further than you. I have an iMac 8.1 Intel Core 2Duo 2.8 GHZ Processor (early 2008). I spoke with Apple Customer Support and made it clear that I had Windows 32 bit and 64 bit software and wanted to install on my iMac and MBP. The agent told me to order Snow Leopard for the iMac. I found out tonight I cannot use 64 bit on this particular iMac even though Customer Support had the serial number and data when we ordered the Snow Leopard disc.
    So, I partitioned the HD equally between Mac and Windows. Boot Camp installed Windows 7 with no problem and then encountered the same thing you did. Install Boot Camp 3.0 before 3.1. When I put the brand new Mac OS X Snow Leopard from Apple in the iMac it said 'not supported'. I tried to install but it won't.
    Funnything is Win 7 seems to be running. I am having problems with the numeric keyboard on the UBS keyboard. I haven't really tried to do too much.
    My question to append to yours is how do I go about uninstalling Windows 7 and installing Windows 7 32 bit?
    I'm sick about this but at least I believe I can install the 64 bit on my current MBP. I wanted it on both my computers.

    I had installed SQL 2012 Enterprise on my Windows 8.1 and was running successfully. I faced some SSRS & SSIS Authentication issue. So i decided to uninstall SQL and re-install it. On doing so, i am unable to install it.

    Tried installing from Command Prompt.
    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Repair /INSTANCENAME=instancename /IAcceptSqlserverLicenseTerms=true
    Still wizard disappears.

  • Some comments on Adobe 'Custom Panels for XMP File Info' document

    In developing a couple of Photoshop/Bridge custom metadata panels for cataloguing my photo collection, I noticed one or two things that look like possible errors in the above document. These comments relate to the version of the document dated April 2005.
    P10, description of 'cat_container_edit_text' widget type: surely this should also list custom variable 'container_type', which is needed to specify whether the metadata array is a bag, seq or whatever.
    P25, details of 'cat_container_edit_text': same comment applies.
    P8 et seq: the requirements for use of the 'name' variable appear contradictory. The summary descriptions of various widgets such as 'edit_text' contain the statement that 'You must provide name, xmp_namespace and xmp_path values for this widget to supply a dynamic
    value', but the description of 'name' on P16 says that it 'Applies only to fixed-text widgets. Do not use this variable to change the value or text of the widget at run time.'

    Joe, here is the Adobe link that I could not find yesterday when I put up the link to the (suspect) archive site:
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xmp/sdk/topic_cust_file_info_panels.html
    I have not looked into these panels for years and I am not sure what has changed in CS4.
    Yes, the free software mentioned previously was limited in the amount of fields, however correct me if I am wrong - the output was just XMP text data and one could simply open it in a text editor and copy/paste/edit extra fields and resave, as the limitation was with the GUI frontend and not with XMP.
    Obviously the computer reading the file needs the custom info panel installed to see the panel in it's full glory, otherwise the metadata is "hidden" away in one of the other metadata listings (I can't remember where). I also had problems picking up the custom metadata when searching via catalogue applications that could read other common metadata such as IPTC.
    It was a bit of a mixed bag if I recall, showing promise however it was not really ready for the average user to use.
    Anyway, it sounds as if my very limited knowlege on this area is being exhausted...
    While on the topic, some other links that may help:
