    Default Re: Webstyle integrating with Dreamweaver CS3

    Fletch what verion of Windows are you running?

    The new extension works on Windows XP SP2 with Dreamweaver MX (version 6)
    and on Vista Home Premium with Dreamweaver CS3 (version 9).

    The only problem I had was installing Dreamweaver CS3. The first attempt locked up for over two hours. After a reboot I continued the installation which took an hour and fifteen minutes.

    Installation of the extension for Webstyle integration took a couple of minutes and had no problems locating Dreamweaver.

    A quick test of using the new extension to create a menubar worked as it was designed to work.

    Thanks for the response Soquili. I am aware of your 'status' on this Forum (not a Xara rep), and respect your views on various problems to which you have contributed.

    I am running Vista Ultimate and a perfectly good install of Dreamweaver CS3.

    I am confident that the extension probably DOES work for my setup - EXCEPT - I just cannot get the darn executable to execute. It says it cannot find Dreamweaver, and that's a bit of a body-blow.

    I really don't have a clue as to how to proceed. I've zapped DW8 from my system, which means that editing any websites I've built with Webstyle are now crippled. I've removed the previous Xara-Dreamweaver extensions. I've rebooted. So where do I go from here?

    Any advice would be gratefully accepted!

    Fletch did you use the right click Run as administrator technique on the xaradwext.exe?

    Are you installing on your home computer or a network computer at work?

    If on a networked work computer check with your IT people, they may have Group Policy setup with some restrictions.

    Do you have any ad-ware or spy-ware protection that may be blocking the extension installer from accessing the registry?

    1. Installing as Administrator

    2. Home computer (workstation - as opposed to network)

    3. (not necessary - see above)

    4. Ermmmmm ... I'll be back AFTER I disable the darn 'security blockers'

    Please wait ......

    Soquili,

    1, 2 and 3 above - no change.

    4 - still getting the "can't find your proggy" error when activating the installer.

    I am still convinced it is looking for a 'Dreamweaver' subfolder in a Macromedia directory. Since the installer doesn't ask for user intervention (i.e., "show me where your proggy is installed"), that is the only conclusion I can come to.

    Any more thoughts on the matter?

    I'll do some checking on the install of DW CS3 on my machine and see if I can think of something to check on your machine.

    Back in a few minutes.

    I'm BAAAaaaak.

    Nothing stands out as being unusual about the install of Dreamweaver CS3 on my machine. It is in the Program Files/Adobe folder and not Macromedia.

    Do you have UAC (User Account Control) enabled?

    I have it turned off on both of my Vista machines.

    I log on using an administrator account but still use the right click popup menu and select Run as administrator for all installs. If UAC is enabled that is the only way to run any installer with admin rights.

    Also no other programs running when doing an install.

    Thanks for the time you've taken on this, Bill. My setup and working practises are EXACTLY the same as yours!! Honest.

    I will rip the guts out of my CS3 installation - reinstall - then try again to install the Webstyle executable.

    I will be back in this thread to provide further information when I've jumped through my hoops.

    Approaching 3 a.m. and I really should get my head down. Like you said ... "I'll be back!"

    Terry have your ran a registry cleaner program lately?

    There may be traces of the older version of Dreamweaver lingering in the registry.

    That may be the cause of the "can't find proggy".
