Unable to open Dreamweaver using OS X 10.9.2

Question

I recently updated to Maverick OS 10.9.2 and am now unable to open Dreamweaver CS5 11.0--an error message appears saying that Dreamweaver closed unexpectedly.  I've also tried installing Dreamweaver updates but I'm not able to.

Please try to clean your DW CS5 preferences by following the steps mentioned below:
Open “Finder” and press CMD+SHIFT+G to open the “Go to the folder” dialog
Type ‘~/Library’ (without the quotes; note the ~ sign before /Library) and click “Go”
Navigate to “Application Support/Adobe/”
Locate the folder named “Dreamweaver CS5” and make a backup of this folder (this will be needed to restore vital preferences later)
Rename/Delete the folder “Dreamweaver CS5” (again without the quotes)
Create a new folder named “Dreamweaver CS5” (again without the quotes)
Create a new folder named “ab_XY” (without the quotes; for example: en_US; you can get this in your backup folder! where ab_XY is the locale in which Dreamweaver was installed)
Navigate inside the folder “ab_XY” and create a new folder named “Configuration” (without the quotes)
Navigate inside the folder “Configuration”
From the backup folder, copy the following folders (if available/present on your system) and paste them inside the “Configuration” folder (please the attached screen shot “Restore_Selected_Preferences_CS5_Mac.png” for reference):
CodeCollapse
CodeColoring
CodeHints
DocumentTypes
DVADialogPrefs
Snippets
Workspace
Open “Finder” and press CMD+SHIFT+G to open the “Go to the folder” dialog
Type ‘~/Library’ (without the quotes; note the ~ sign before /Library) and click “Go”
Navigate to “Preferences/” folder
Locate the file “Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs” and rename/delete the file
Now try to launch Dreamweaver again and see if you still face the issue.
Please Note: After you have launched Dreamweaver, please ensure that you DO NOT launch “Adobe BrowserLab” panel. Please create a new workspace by following the steps mentioned below, according to your liking but please refrain from using “Adobe BrowserLab” panel as this is known to cause a crash in Dreamweaver on Mac 10.9.
Steps to create a workspace (without “Adobe Browser Lab”):
Launch Dreamweaver
Locate “Adobe BrowserLab” (but don’t open it) and click the top-right-hand-side corner of the panel and  select the option “Close Tab Group”
Now, arrange the remaining panels in your workspace as per your liking
Go to menu “Window -> Workspace Layout -> New Workspace…”
In the “New Workspace” dialog, provide a name of your choice and click “OK” button
