[Windowz CS3] VS2005 issue

Hello,
My CS3 mac plugin's going to Windows and I'm trying to port it with VC2005 Express on XP - but I am getting a compile error: it claims 'odfrc' is not 'executable' and that "a tool returned an error from Performing Custom Build Step"...
Just tried it creating a brand new project with DollyXS - or even trying to build Basic dialog SDK project - but building failed because of very same 'odfrc' error.
Sounded like a common issue to me but couldn't find any pointer in documentation or on the web to have this solved cleanly: is this something I could address myself or is it a lost cause deep into a dead end?
I am not using SP1 but original VC2005 Express release - with CS3 SDK - VC2005 Express version number being 8.0.50727.42 running on XP Pro 5.1.2600 SP2: no kidding - it's looking like a comedy act but this is really how version numbers are working on Windowz...
Any advice or pointers will be welcomed indeed.
Best regards
Patrick Perroud

Hello again,
Back from the beginning - with SDK path now set in Tools -> Options... - I have created a brand new DollyXS project then tried to compile it - only to get this errors above: looks like it's now the odfrc executable that doesn't know where the SDK is...
Could we configure that too?
Where?
Best regards
Patrick Perroud

  • Adobe CS3 file issues update????

    Has there been any news on when Apple is going to fix the CS3 file issues that have popped up?
    This is disastrous for all pros out there. This just might be as bad as the great 10.2.8 debacle, if not worse.....

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Read:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1543369&tstart=0
    As you see this is not exclusive to 10.5.3. The issue is that Adobe doesn't program their file save routines properly. As for asking when Apple will fix something, no one on this board knows. The terms of use specifically forbid speculation. And people who know what Apple is doing in the future are under non-disclosure agreement. We only know what is currently possible.

  • CS3 Performance Issues - Productivity Crippled - S.O.S.

    I was having performance issues and repeated crashes with AE CS3 on Win XP, so I talked my boss into upgrading me to CS5 and Win 7.  All was well until we hired a new guy to help me with my video work load.  He has inherited my old software and there's no money for another upgrade, so we're going to have to figure this out.
    He running CS3 Master Collection on a Dell PC running Windows XP (Intel Core II Duo 2.33Ghz, 3.25GB RAM).  The graphics card is the ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, which came stock with the machine.  Specs on that card here: http://reviews.cnet.com/graphics-cards/ati-radeon-hd-2400/4507-8902_7-32763888.html?tag=sp ecs.  Pretty wimpy, I know.
    Anyway, my new coworker has been experiencing at least as much frustration as I was, with frequent crashes, a fickle RAM Preview and bad renders.  His machine has more RAM and a faster processor than I had when I ran CS3, but his performance seems even worse  Since CS3 won't handle AVCHD files, I've been converting our HD camera footage into 720p MPG 2 (Adobe Media Encoder) for projects he's assigned.  I suppose that could have something to do with it, but I can't see why CS3 wouldn't run an MPG generated from CS5.  Anyway, I asked him to write up a short list of the problems he's experiencing and he gave me this ...
    - rendered movies are often corrupted with red frames that flash in spots
    - when i try to render an MPEG2 at full res it will give me an error message that says:
    After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media IO Plugin:
    There is a mismatch between Output Module settings and Transcode Settings. Please verify your settings and try again.
    Property Data Invalid!
    MediaIO2 error: 0x400e0004
    Frame dimensions out of bounds
    (5027 :: 12)
    - when i try to render a RAM preview, often it does not render the complete work area. it takes several attempts to preview the entire selection
    - occasionally, when i bring in new media it gives a message saying 'media pending' and i will have to shut the program down and re-import the media
    - it will often (1-3 times per hour) crash unexpectedly and give a message saying 'After Effects has crashed'
    - when i try to render a RAM preview an error message pops up saying it needs at least 2 frames to render when i clearly have more than that selected
    It's my hope that someone here will recognize a common thread between these various issues and be able to suggest a silver bullet that will fix it all.  I realize that's not likely.  Research to date has yielded glimpses of possible solutions involving cache and scratch discs, but there are few specifics and I'm not sure exactly what adjustments to make.  I also have a spare Nvidia GForce 6800 graphics card form my own computer at home that I could donate to this office if it would help.
    I'm about to pass these issues on to our Help Desk and let them deal with it, but I'd love to be able to at least point them in the right direction, since they mostly deal with standard office software and won't have much experience troubleshooting multimedia applications.  I believe they also have the option to call Adobe for tech support over the phone, but I'd like them to have a clue if they do.  Can anyone suggest what settings, drivers or hardware might be a good place to start to get my man's system running a little more smoothly?  I'd really appreciate some insight before we start poking around blindly and I offer my thanks in advance for any forthcoming wisdom.
    Thanks!
    P.S. For what it's worth, my copy of CS5 is running like a champ on Windows 7 with the 64 bit OS.  My machine has an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT for a card, which can't be much better than the "Pro" version in my coworkwers machine, right?

    No legal issues, both my CS5 and his CS3 are bought and paid for.  However, if After Effects CS3 is incapable of rendering a decent looking file compressed to a reasonable file size, then I'm not sure how valuable it is to us anyway.  It seems unbelievable to me that one of the most popular industry standard video aps isn't designed to render anything more than draft quality files for client review.  Even if he renders an uncompressed file from AE, CS3 didn't ship with Adobe Media Encoder as a separate ap, so what can he do with it without resorting to third party software?  I don't get it, but I'm clearly no expert on the subject.
    So, things being what they are, what file format would you suggest I convert the AVCHD file to in order for my CS3 burdened coworkwer to be able to work with them?  We are a Windows shop, so I don't know if Dave's Quicktime/PNG suggestion will work for us or not.  You've always given good advice to me in the past, so if you have an alternate suggestion I'm eager to try it out.  Just go easy on me with the jargon because I'm primarily a print designer and my video skills at this point are (obviously) intermediate at best!
    In any case, I really appreciate both you and Dave taking the time to respond to my post.  This forum continues to be the best resource I have for solving problems and augmenting my understanding of these programs.  My thanks!

  • Adobe Photoshop CS & CS3 upgrade issues

    I have recently obtained an original disc of adobe photoshop CS and an original disc of adobe photoshop CS3 upgrade to install on my Imac which is running lion at the moment, only to be told that power pc programmes are no longer recognised. I was intending to install the  original Photoshop CS and then upgrade it to CS3, however due to this issue i cant install the original disc.
    I have read that if i revert back to snow leopard then i would be able to install these programms without issue, but the question is then if i then update the OS system to lion, would the updated version of photoshop CS3 still work, being on the back of CS? or would it stop working?
    If this updated programme does not work, am i better having a partitioned disc just to run snow leopard and to use photoshop, and if this is the case would i be able to access all saved images and files when running the lion side of the partition in order to sync these with i cloud and my ipad?
    regards

    The bootable Snow Leopard partition is the way I would do it.
    Borrowed from Kappy,
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard being sure to select the external drive as the target.
    Note that you will need a Snow Leopard DVD. The above will only work for you if you can boot your computer from a Snow Leopard DVD. If you have a new model that came with Lion pre-installed then the above will not work because a Snow Leopard retail DVD cannot boot your model.
    Then install your CS and CS3 and run them in SL. If the images are stored in a seperate drive/partition then it should work seamlessly.

  • Indesign CS3- plugin issue

    I'm having a problem with Indesign, within Adobe Master Collection CS3 in that when it's started up it comes up with an error message stating that the application or DLL "Sangamexport.apln" is not a valid windows image, and says to please check the installation diskette. This also causes Indesign to crash when right-clicking on a line or anything else drawn.
    This issue cropped up after updating to the latest version, as version 5.0.3 works just fine, however version 5.0.4 does not.
    While disabling the plugin does resolve the issue, being a site licence (I work for a school with several hundred PCs on a network with the application installed locally), and every PC that has the latest updates has this exact issue, repeating this on each individual machine is impractical to say the least. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    The PCs are runnning Windows XP, service Pack 3

    Jitendra:
       While not specifically addressing this problem, I have obtained the UID (and then derived the UIDRef) of an image by getting the hierarchy interface of the container and then getting the child.  This is a snippet of the code:
        UIDRef ItemRef = UIDRef(db, ItemUID);  //  ItemUID & db (IDataBase *) passed into function; db
        InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> iHierarchy(ItemRef, UseDefaultIID());
           if (iHierarchy != nil)
              if(iHierarchy -> GetChildCount() > 0)
                 UID imageuid = iHierarchy -> GetChildUID(0);
    HTH.

  • CS3 FTP Issues in XPSP2

    Recently upgraded to DW CS3 on both my laptop and desktop,
    both of which were running DW MX2004. Both machines are XP SP2. I
    have an issue (across all of the hosting firms I use, 1&1,
    Omnis, etc) where my FTP puts will timeout excessively. I have to
    click the X in the Background File Activity window to cancel...then
    disconnect from the Files pane...then cancel that operation as
    well. I wait 20 seconds, reconnect, and then I can put -- after it
    tells me about a Synchronization issue where I have to click Yes to
    put. This happens 60% of the time on the desktop, but only 3-5% of
    the time on the laptop.
    Also, when I have to cancel the Put, my web server will only
    show a blank page until I can successfully complete a Put. This
    includes pages that have been successfully loaded previously...they
    "disappear." I've been waiting to see a Dreamweaver update come
    through Adobe Updater.........

    Do you have passive FTP enabled?

  • Odd DW CS3 Template issue

    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering if I could get some help on an odd issue I've
    been experiencing with DW CS3. I have been tasked with adding
    content to two templates we use (which include a vertical nav bar,
    footer and header). After I've made my changes, I would save the
    work and then be prompted to Update Pages. During this process, I
    don't receive any errors (the only message I get is something like
    "Dreamweaver needs to check out this file in order to update").
    After all is said and done, I take a look at a few of the
    (checked out) pages and I can see the template changes have been
    made to them. However, when I check the file back in and take a
    look at it online, the changes are not there. Incidentally, I saw
    the page here by Murray featuring 7 points that may cause this
    issue, but to the best of my knowledge, I have not committed any of
    them.
    Here's where things get weird: When I go back into DW and
    check out the file (to see what went wrong), the web page (which
    showed the template change not moments before) goes back to its
    original, unmodified state. I've found a way to get around this by
    using the "Modify > Templates > Apply Template To Pages..."
    process, but with so many web pages, this seems counter-productive.
    And this is the third time this issue has occurred for me.
    Considering that, I wonder if I'm missing a step. Do I need to
    check in the .dwt file after I've made the change but before I
    update?
    Insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your
    time and patience.

    > the only message I get
    > is something like "Dreamweaver needs to check out this
    file in order to

    Uh oh.
    Using Templates in a site with checkin/checkout is a very
    troublesome thing.
    It's a tedious process, but you must be
    systematic -
    * have the client up-synch all files
    * down-synch your local site
    * make template changes and let them propagate
    * up-synch
    * notify client that it's safe to work on the site again
    Wish it were easier myself....
    (I assume you are working with Contribute or with other
    developers, right?)

  • Photoshop 7 - CS3 Clipboard Issue

    I have been having this problem with Photoshop 7.0 for a while, where I cannot paste from "Windows" to Photoshop. I often use print screen, and while Paint can paste the screenshot no problem, Photoshop does nothing.
    I found a solution that said to apply a registry edit to add:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0]
    AlwaysImportClipboard=dword:00000001
    I did that and the clipboard did not seem to work. The only time it does work, is sometimes after a fresh restart when PS is first opened. Any time after that the clipboard feature is inoperable.
    I finally decided to upgrade to CS3 and was upset to learn that it has the same problem. I applied the registry patch to this install too:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\10.0]
    AlwaysImportClipboard=dword:00000001
    But it still doesnt work. I've seen people complaining about this in forums since 2006. Are you telling me that Adobe has released 3 new PS versions since 7.0 there is still no fix?\
    I hope someone here can help me out.

    Bill:
    Thanks for the ideas.
    >Jon, how are your systems configured and how is the RAM populated? What are the Virtual Memory settings in your two OS configs? What are your memory allocation settings for Photoshop and what are your Scratch Disk allocations?
    Both systems use DDR400 RAM and both have 1GB each. My virtual memory is system managed on both machines. I'm not sure of my PS memory allocation settings or Scratch Disk Allocations. I can say I have not modified any of these settings from the defaults.
    >Do you normally work with other programs open (though maybe minimized), or is PS the only launched program, when this happens?
    Generally PS is the only program open (aside from running processes, taskbar items, etc.), and perhaps Internet Explorer or Firefox (where I'm usually taking my screenshots).

    >Have you received any memory related error messages, maybe during shutdown, or with any programs? Have you searched your Event Viewer for any warnings, in either Applications, or in System?
    No memory related errors at all. Both computers have been running fine, with no problems (besides this PS issue).
    >End result is that something is getting in the way of either the data being written TO the Clipboard (is it there, and just not accessible by PS?), or when getting those data OUT of Clipboard, by PS (is that the ONLY app that cannot get it out?). Does the workaround of using MS Paint always work, and with PS not?
    The MS Paint clipboard/paste workaround always works, with no problem. The PS clipboard paste feature almost never works anymore, and when it does, it's usually only after reboot.

  • Lightroom/CS3 color issues on Mac

    Hello,
    I've seen a few posts about color issues, and I've tried following the advice posted, and I'm still having a problem. My photos appear fine in PS and in Lightroom (as well in in Mac's previewer) but when I upload them to the web or view the saved file on another computer, they appear severely desaturated with a blue tone.
    I'm using running Mac OX X on a new MacBook Pro. I have Lightroom and CS3 installed and fully patched.
    I am shooting in RAW with my Nikon, and importing the photos to Lightroom. In Lightroom, I choose "edit in CS3" and then the file opens in CS3. My settings for that are to open it as a 16 bit PDF ProPhoto RGB. My color settings in CS3 are set to ProPhoto RGB working space, preserve embedded profiles, ask when opening and pasting.
    The files still look great when I open them in PS, and then I save them and when I look at them again in Lightroom they also look good (the same). However, if I export them as .jpgs from Lightroom, or save them directly from CS3, they lose their color quality.
    I've found that if I change my proof setup to "monitor RGB" then I can see the photos the same way they appear when saved (the bad, desaturated version).
    I would really appreciate any help anyone could provide. I am generally happy with my Lightroom/CS3 workflow, but I'm totally baffled with this color issue.

    Well, I think what you need to do is get a better grasp on the fundimentals of color management-which is a bit beyond the scope of what the forums can offer you.
    The bottom line is that Lightroom & Photoshop CSx (meaning past CS or actually even back to 7) can and does make use of display profiles (you can't turn it off even if Photoshop has a setting that makes you think you can). An image in Lightroom and Photoshop is always color managed...outside of an app that is color management, all bets are off.
    Save, assigning and converting to profiles are all very different. Photoshop CS3's color settings are absolutely critical because that's how you deal with managed and unmanaged color.
    Until you learn different, I would suggest that you set your CS3 color settings to North American PrePress 2....if you want images for the web, Convert To sRGB or use the new Save For Web (which can now do the sRGB conversion-finally).
    For other uses and purposes, I would suggest that you seriously consider using Adobe RGB-until such time that you understand the implications of using Pro Photo RGB.

  • CS3 mediacore issue. (Editing modes/plugins)

    Hi, I've been having an unresolved issue the past couple days. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong. I looked up my problem on different boards but I haven't found one similar to mine.
    So I own a macbook pro, running on a Mac OS X version 10.6.3, and I have Adobe After Effects CS3. So far, my main issue is with the "mediacore" plugins at the start-up. Sometimes it crashes and sometimes it says "failed to initialize mediacore." I tried checking this problem out by looking inside what's in the Mediacore folder. So I viewed my plug-ins folder and then went inside the Mediacore. In the folder, I found a subfolder called "Editing Modes" and it contains an "Adobe Editing Modes.xml" and under the subfolder, is a list of the next following:
    - CompilerQuickTime.bundle
    - ImporterAiff.bundle
    - ImporterFastMPEG.bundle
    - ImporterFlash.bundle
    - ImporterMP3.bundle
    - ImporterMPEG.bundle
    - ImporterQT.bundle
    - ImporterWave.bundle
    - PlayerMac.bundle
    I tried to delete only "Editing Modes" folder and leave the bundle files in place. Afterward, After FX started up properly without crashing. It just gave me an error saying "failed to initialize mediacore" and then the program worked. The only problem with this is, I wasn't able to import any movies or mp3's. They're all grayed out. I wasn't able to drag and drop videos or sounds either. They just didn't work.
    So, I undeleted "Editing Modes" and I deleted the bundles. The same thing happened. THE ONLY difference is, when I leave Editing Modes and the bundle files in the folder together, the whole program crashes at start up. So the program works only with one or the other deleted.
    Ugh, I don't know what the problem is exactly! I also have QuickTime Pro 7 installed and I have QuickTime X.
    Does anyone have a solution??
    Also I'm able to export PNG's (seems to be the only workable files) out as quicktime movies, but I can't import. Importing is my only problem.

    Something is severely busted. I'm afraid you will have to reinstall the app and also have to reinstall Quicktime. Also of course do the usual and run a Repair permissions to fix any potential file access issues, trash the AE prefs and clean out the media cache manually. Location of folders here.

  • Adobe CS3 Reinatall Issues

    Hi,
    I was having issues with CS3 so decided to reinstall it. At the time I didnt realise I needed to deactivate it so just uninstalled it from the control panel and tried to reinstall. Now I get faced with the attached.
    I tried following the steps at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401574.html and also tried the Adobe CS5 remval tool but get the same outcome.
    Does anybody have any idea what the issue may be?
    Cheers

  • DW CS3 preview issue after installing Vista SP2

    I have DW CS3 installed on my desktop and laptop computers. One computer uses vista64 and the other vista32. After installing vista service pack 2, I now have the following issue previewing PHP pages under Apache: All browsers give me a "cannot display the webpage" error UNLESS I am connected to some kind of network--it could be the internet or my peer-to-peer network. My destop computer is attached to a printer via RJ45 cable. If the printer is turned on, I can preview webpages in DW. If the printer is turned off, I cannot! Or, if I am connected to the internet through my wireless internet card, I can preview pages, otherwise, not.
    Previous to installing SP2, I was able to preview pages on both computers without the need to be connected to a network, so I am pretty sure that SP2 is involved in this new issue.
    When Apache and MySQL start up in the XAMPP control panel, there are no errors, and I can go into PHPMyAdmin just fine.
    Has anyone else run into this? Any thoughts?

    I'm just following up here. I have not solved the issue, but I did figure out that the problem isn't with vista service pack 2 but with Kaspersky anti-virus 2009.

  • Adobe CS3 Licensing Issue

    I have Vista Business, Adobe CS3 with student licensing. It has worked great for three months. Now I'm back in school and I get an error that says "Licensing for this product has stopped working:". It is registered.
    I've followed all of the fixes listed here and it still will not work. I have emailed support and they gave me the same fixes as here. Someone must know how to fix it, it's their software.
    I tried to uninstall but all I get is the Install Wizard. I went through it once, inserted the disk and waited patiently. I have rebooted each and every time I've made changes. NOTHING WORKS!. I can't even unistall it, that is strange.
    Does someone have another method of getting this going again. I have assignments due and it has really caused me a lot of stress.
    Thanks for the help,
    Paul

  • CS3 Color Issue-seeing Green

    All my images have a green cast to them in PS CS3 & Bridge
    My monitor is calibrated
    Images are fine in other applications, just not photoshop
    This issue started after a disk crash and was installed on a new hard disk.
    We have uninstalled it once and ran the clean up utility since then.

    Your display profile changed, or you changed the whitepoint on the display.

  • (CS3) Lag issue on Vista

    Hi,
    I've just installed a fresh copy of Windows Vista Business last night. After installing Photoshop CS3 however, I noticed a very serious lag issue. I looked into the problem a bit on google and this forum but did not reach a solution.
    In general, the issues are as follows:
    1. Opening and closing even the smallest of files takes a ridiculous amount of time.
    2. Moving the mouse cursor over the toolbar or menubar requires up to 3 seconds before a response is received.
    3. Right click menu requires up to 3 seconds to appear
    4. Application of any tools shows a noticeable delay of action.
    The most common suggestion is the "Network Printer" solution, which was not helpful to everyone including me. I also tried to change the performance settings and the cache level according to the optimization guide on this site, that also did not solve the problem.
    I tried to run the software in XP pro SP2 compatibility mode, did not make a difference in performance. Disabling all the graphic options for Vista such as Aero Experience also was useless.
    I'm just wondering as to whether we ever did reach a solution to resolve the issue or is this problem still left hanging?
    CS3 ran fine before my upgrade from XP Pro SP2, I do not believe my hardware specs have anything to do with the lag issue. Yet, I'll leave it below just in case you guys need it as reference...
    Acer Aspire 5672:
    Windows Vista Business Edition
    Centrino DuoCore 1.66GHz T2300
    2GB 667MHz RAM (1GB x 2)
    ATI Radeon X1600
    120GB Hard-drive

    Bob:
    I've stated the Network Printer did not apply to me,
    thanks a lot still.
    ID.Awe
    - I do not have any MS mouse/keyboard software installed
    - all auto updaters I can think of are turned off
    - I actually have NO anti-virus installed whatsoever XD
    - and indexing was stopped before I made this post
    The strange thing is....
    I went to sleep and left my computer on for the night,
    when I woke up, the lag issue was simply gone....
    I've restarted my computer and tried running all the usual softwares I have running, CS3 still seem to be stable.
    Thanks for everyone's help, I will come back if the problem persists in the future.
    Regards
    Kei
