Unable to Launch Dreamweaver CS4

When I try to launch Dreamweaver CS4 I get the splash screen
and then the error message "The application Dreamweaver quit
unexpectedly". I can see that this has happened in CS3 but I cannot
find any method of fixing the problem in CS4.
I am running Mac OS X Version 10.5.5 and I have a retail
version of CS4 Web Premium, any help would be great.
I have attached the error code if it is any use.
Once again, Thanks

This is a user-to-user forum, so you might strike lucky and
find someone
who has encountered a similar problem. However, since you
have the
retail version of CS4 Web Premium, you're also entitled to

I am unable to launch Dreamweaver Trial version

I am unable to launch Dreamweaver Trial version which I have just downloaded. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and have also performed a software update. Can anyone advise? When launching the application, I get the following error: Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

Dreamweaver 2014.1 requires OS X 10.7.5 or later to be installed.

Launch Dreamweaver CS4 and open a specific site

One of my stumbling blocks in moving from GoLive 9 to Dreamweaver CS4 is finding a way to have Dreamweaver open a specific site at launch time. GoLive has a "name.site" file that contains site-specific information. Double-clicking that GoLive site file launches GoLive (or switches to the running application) and makes that site the current/frontmost site.
With Dreamweaver, I can double-click a page in a site and launch Dreamweaver. However, Dreamweaver's active site is the one that was active at the end of the last Dreamweaver session.
Is there a way to launch Dreamweaver and have it automatically open a specific site?
-- Barney

Say, if they do something like that for the already existing .ste files, then it might just encourage some people to export/backup their site definitions. Although I would probably never think to doubleclick one of them, that is still a good idea.

Menus.xml issue when trying to launch Dreamweaver CS4

I have used Dreamweaver CS4 for many years on my Mac. I had a drive failure and have had to reload all of my applications from scratch as there seemed to be an issue with the Time Machine back up. Everything is working well apart from Dreamweaver CS4 which brings up an error message telling me to delete my menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml which just doesn't work.
I have checked and this has been asked before but none of the previous answers that I could find will work for me. Any new ideas?

One issue appears to be that Dreamweaver has loaded the help and configurations files into a folder in applications rather than in application support. I do not have a Dreamweaver CS4 folder anywhere in applications support under my identity or than of the loacl admin.
You need to turn on your hidden folders to see it.

Unable to Launch Photoshop CS4

I started having this problem 3 days ago. Suddenly one morning Photoshop CS4 stopped launching. The bad part is, there is no error message...nothing...it just won't launch. Other programs, including Bridge CS4 works fine, just Photoshop. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium, this is a Dell XPS computer with 8GB of RAM. Please Help!

When something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed.
It could be, as Curt mentions, hardware additions, software additions, or as simple as adding fonts, where one is bad, or corrupted.
The task is to identify what has changed.
I would create a System Restore Point (if you are on a PC), for today. Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose to Restore System. Pick a System Restore Point from when things DID work. Reboot on the prompt, and test. If PS now works, you still need to find out what changed. Along with the above, it could be as simple as an OS update, or hot-fixed, that hosed your video driver.
In that case, go to the mfgr's. Web site (Do NOT let the OS, or any utility, tell you if have the latest version - go directly to the mfgr's. Driver Download page - plug in your card model and your OS, download the latest driver and install it. Read the installation instructions, as those can change, driver version to version.). A hosed video driver can hang PS, and might not generate any error messages.
If that does NOT help, try one more time, going back with the System Restore Point chosen.
At the worst, you will have only lost a few minutes, as you created that new System Restore Point for today.
If you have a Mac, I think that there is a utility, with a name like Time Machine, that does about the same thing.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unopen to launch Dreamweaver (CS4) - error 0xc0150004

Hi,
I have a brand new computer and new Dreamweaver CDROM and it installs fine but when I click to load it it says:
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150004). Click OK to terminate this application."
My computer is from Dell, I'm running Vista, it has a 2.8 GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive.
I've tried restarting the computer with all the services deactivated.
I've installed IIS.
I've copied the program from the CD onto the computer and then tried installing in Safe Mode but it wouldn't run*.
(*although in the process of copying the files over two files came up with the following error message:
Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.)
What do you suggest?
Many thanks,
Matthew Cousins
PS: If anyone needs any further information from me just ask.

Many thanks to the above poster for providing that link to another forum thread. I should have seen that thread at the time as it was only about a week before mine.
I'd already spent ages trying to sort this problem and after having no luck I went back to using Dreamweaver 8. I eventually found the time to have another go the other day and all I had to do was delete a registry key!

Renaming the Configuation folder and then opening Dreamweaver worked like a charm. I was ready to give up on CS4 and I had already gone back to using DW 8. Thank you for sharing- don't think I would have ever solved this without your help. That is what sharing is all about.
You're welcome :-)

Dreamweaver CS4 serial number invalidated after 8 months of use

In January 2nd 2014, I purchased an OEM version of Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows from a reseller called "Smart Shop" which looked like a serious outfit [emails from Jet Support were received with a link to "Access your order and customer support http://appscustomerscare.com"]. A serial number was obtained. I downloaded the program from their site and installed it without any problem: When I launched the application, the serial number was inserted and the Adobe server validated it: the application worked seamlessly for more than 8 months.
Yesterday, when I launched Dreamweaver CS4, a dialog box showed up stating the the serial number used was invalid! I used the serial number that I had been given to activate Dreamweaver but the form showed a red X at the end of the serial number meaning the the serial number was invalid.
[personal information removed... Mod - https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731]
[This is an open forum, not Adobe support, please do not post personal information]
Now, I'm back to the trial version (available for 29 more days)!
Is there a licensing problem link with buying an OEM version of Dreamweaver from resellers?
Why was the serial number considered valid on first run and all successive runs and then invalidated after 8 months?
How can I be sure that my next "bona fide" purchase of Dreamweaver won't run into the same problem?
Is there a way to recognize good from bad resellers?

My Dreamweaver CS4 won't open on my iMac

Well every time I launch Dreamweaver CS4 it crashes. Please
help me and i also reinstalled and updated all software.

A few things to try:
step 4 in the following technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19105.
If that doesn't work, try deleting your personal configuration folder. It's in the same location.
On Vista, it's located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration.
It's a hidden folder, so you need to enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer.
Rename the folder to Configuration_old and launch Dreamweaver.
It should create a new Configuration folder with the factory defaults.

Dreamweaver CS4 Mac - Welcome Screen Is Blank Under Network Account

This is a new installation of Dreamweaver CS4 on a computer running Mac OS X 10.5.7 in a computer lab environment. All updates have been applied. Users' home folders are hosted via AFP on a server running Mac OS X Server 10.5.7. The "welcome screen" window that appears after launching Dreamweaver CS4 is blank for users using network accounts (both admin and non-admin). The welcome screen appears correctly when launched from within a local accounts (admin or non-admin). The welcome screen window can be closed and then the application appears to run just fine. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution?

Some clues: Apparently, the "welcome screen" is an .swf file located in each user's home directory here:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/Configuration/Content/Welcome/Flash/welcome.swf
I can open this file in Flash or Flash Player under a network account and it looks just fine, yet it won't load when Dreamweaver CS4 is launched, resulting in a blank, white "welcome screen."
For now, I've decided to push a default preferences file to new users that turns off the welcome screen, but I'd prefer to find a fix. Anyone have any clues?

Unable to Launch Photoshop CC 2014 from Dreamweaver CC 2014!

Although I still have DWCC and DWCS6 still on my PC - and the roundtrip editing from within Dreamweaver works flawlessly - it does not work with DWCC2014 when trying to get PSCC2014 to open an image for editing.
All I see is an error message stating:
'Unable to launch - please be sure this application exists and that there is enough memory to run it.'
Has this roundtrip feature been removed in DWCC2014? If so, why?
It works perfectly well on the same PC with earlier versions - but I would like to remove the two earlier versions to free up space.

Fireworks CS4 - Unable to Launch

I am trying to virtualize Fireworks CS4 but keep running into the following error after running the compiled exe.
The application was unable to load a required component: LogSession.dll. Please contact the publisher of this application for more information.
Dreamweaver CS4 runs fine though. I have seen a couple of other threads relating to VMware Tools possibly causing an issue. I have tried the following without any success..
1. Build machine with VMware Tools.
2. Build machine without VMware Tools
3. Stopping FlexNet service before capture
4. Copying LogSession.dll into the 'System32' folder
All snapshots\packages are been carried out on the local disk and not on a network share.
I can't open a SR request with Novell, as we don't have a support contract with them.

Some people have had success with issues such as these by adding entries to the "Child Process Exception List", but I haven't done that much myself and will need to poke around a bit to get you some more information.
Is Fireworks CS4 something I can get on my own to work with?
Will give that a go.
In terms of obtaining Fireworks CS4, it is part of the Adobe CS4 Web Premium pack. You could probably get a trial version of it, but finding it on the Adobe site is unlikely as they are on CS6 now.

Unable to Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4

it's been a couple of days since i tried out Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 to see how they compare to the CS3 versions, it worked fine and all till suddenly it stopped working, so i been trying to uninstall/reinstall to get it working under the free trial limit i still have left (27 days as of this writing) it still will not work.
Sometimes i would install Photoshop/Dreamweaver and say an error occurred and some components were unable to install and would be unable to load the file even after doing what the instructions say...
Same goes for when i try to uninstall both Photoshop/Dreamweaver, i would try to uninstall and would still remain in my program files...
I am completely stumped on what to do, i can't even re-install photoshop/dreamweaver cs3 as well due to this...
I am running on Vista 32bit SP1 Pack on HP Pavilion, i want to completely get rid of CS4 versions and go back to my reliable CS3 again, any help please would be greatly appreciated.

John... if you read what I said you would of caught that i did do it:
"did what was suggested, worked like a charm for the CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 but although it did work on Photoshop CS4. it did something i was dumbfounded to see, it did something odd in which it took out the Uninstall/Change tab option for removing programs (I was viewing it to see if it uninstalled completely) also it brought out a bunch of programs that weren't in that section before and was unable to uninstall/remove them.
So i had to do a system restore point to go back and try again. After doing it two more times (ya two!) still doesn't work, i am 7 hours into trying to resolve this... sigh. "
At that time i said i had done it 2 times, 3 in total, i am on try #6 all with the same results with the exact after effects once i restart my PC.
Here's what it does to tell what goes on:
1) after installing microsoft's cleaner then opening up the cs4 cleaner under admin, it does its thing, it asks me if i wish to remove Flash Player 10 after choosing remove Photoshop CS4, now here i done both remove Flash Player and not remove it with the same results, losing the uninstall/change option on the control panel, which frustrates me.
2) After seeing that i try to install Photoshop CS4 again, once its done, i open it up, try to go to the trial option where as i stated previously says there's an error and can't open the trial page which would open up Photoshop completely but since it can't i cannot go beyond that window.
3) So ya... i try ONCE again to do it all over after restarting and SAMETHING! no uninstall/change option appearing and unable to open up Photoshop CS4 in which i resort to doing a system restore again and trying once more.
NOW, one would think that after the first 3 times it should be working properly, i mean I thought it would after removing both Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 it's bound to do the same for Photoshop CS4, but it doesn't completely create a "FREASH" install. It's like it still remembers what messed up functions it still had and what's up with it removing the uninstall/change option? that just bogles my mind.
i tried many things, re-downloading the trial from adobe, etc i never would of thought just one program could cost me so much wasted time just to get it working and it's a free trial nonetheless so excuse me John Joslin if your remark kind of bugs me, I need some assistance/advice on trying to correct this problem, not a
"It should have done!
Run it a few times. "
comment that's already common knowledge for me in what I have already been doing long before your post.

Unable to Launch Photoshop from Dreamweaver

When I click on a file in the code window to edit an image I get this error window "Unable to Launch C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\ Photoshop.exe Please make sure this application exists and that there is enough memory for it." But if I navagate to the image file in the files panel and click the image in there Photoshop will open up instantly. I have tried a number of times to go to Preferences/File Types/Editors/ and deleting existing path, then click + and select app to establish path, and then restarting Dreamweaver. Did not work. Any ideas? I am on a Trial of DWcc and Windows 8. Thanks

Hi MichelleDonn,
Can you check out the solution proposed in this forum post? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/46769
You could try updating the path to Photoshop be deleting and re-adding it, using the - and + buttons, in the File editor category of Preferences.
Thanks,
