Hello,

I'm a brand new Adobe user who just purchased CS4 Production Premium.

I wanted to batch process a bunch of jpegs using a custom action I created in Photoshop. I created an action to change the brightness/contrast to 20/100 respectively. I then used Bridge to select a series of Jpegs and then ran Tools->Photoshop->Batch and chose my custom action. I chose all defaults and hit okay and I get this dialog box:

Error: The specified module could not be found. C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL

What is this thing and where do I get it?

Thanks for any clues
-Julie

Just as a follow up to my own message. If I go and look for that file under that path, it seems to be there.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.dll

It has a date of 8/14/2008 7:58 a.m.

Also, I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit.

thanks for any info
-Julie

One more thing, sorry. When I installed the suite, I installed to a non-default location of C:\Adobe instead of the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe...

Not sure if it matters.

Thank you

I'm having the same problem, but I tried to update and it keeps freezing up. I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, Illistrator CS4, Soundbooth CS4, and Lightroom 2.1.

When I did the updates, it seemed to freeze up too, you just have to let it go a really long time and it finally finishes. Maybe try that.

If version cue was not installed, then call Adobe Technical support.
Installation issues are handled for free for current versions.

If you run into this problem again you can try this small app I made, just change the installation directory appropriately. It adds the 4.0.0 DLL and works for 4.0.1 too.

Hi Gang,

I was having the same problem as you all but I simply copied the same file that is in:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\

to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\

Now all is back to normal.

HELP!!! I downloaded and installed the fix from Lim Yau Hui, but have additional problems.

There is a file still missing in 4.0.1 called: versioncueUI.dll.

I have tried to copy the files in 4.0.0. and move them to 4.0.1, but instantly crash when trying to do so, and get a Window Explorer error.

It was suggested that I had a registry issue. So I installed RegCure to find a fix errors. It did not fix the problem.

I desperately need my Adobe to work!! HELP!!!!!

@ C. Ekelund: Try copy and pasting ONLY versioncueUI.dll to 4.0.1

Hi Lim, My issue was I could not do any copy and pasting as my windows explorer crashed. I assumed it was because of the recent scan I had done with RegCure, for some reason. At any rate I was finally able to do a copy and paste after creating a network. So problem solved. Thanks for your input.

Hi,
tried that, installed the fix to 4.0.1 - didn't work; but, copied the .dll to 4.0.0 and it did! I've spent nearly 12 hours on this so far, and tried everything else. Well Done!!!

Hi, I have been struggling to install CS4 Production Premium. Just about all of the problems seem to center on VersionCue and Adobe Driver -- they won't update (the update program keeps crashing but won't say why) and for awhile, everytime I right-clicked on anything in Windows Explorer, it would crash too. I also had the "can't find versioncue.dll" problem, solved it by copying the contents of the 4.0.0 folder to a new folder called 4.0.1 (it didn't even exist under Programs(X86) until I created it). And I traced the Windows Explorer crashing to Adobe Driver's bad context menu. It can be disabled with a freeware utility called shexview (at <http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html)>. This is my third install of CS4 on a brand-new Vista 64 system, hopefully it'll all work now. But Adobe really needs to do something with VersionCue and Driver -- can't believe that they were really thoroughly beta'd, this stuff is obviously broken. And worst of all, I don't even need these apps (it's a stand-alone workstation, no collaberation or workgroups) but Photoshop won't run without them installed. Hope this saves someone else some time, I just killed the whole afternoon screwing around with it.

It sounds like you are experiencing an issue which is documented, along with a solution, here:

@Matthew Laun...
Thanks for the assist but your "solution" does not work. In Step 2.2 it states:

# Open your startup drive and locate the ProgramData folder. Open this and locate the NTFS junction named "Application Data"....

# Select the "Application Data" junction, and choose Organize > Properties.

When following these instructions, explorer crashes with the following message: "Explorer.exe - The specified module could not be found: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\VersionCue.dll"

This problem has caused me to lose half a day's work. Adobe should get its act together with the install/updater. My computer was working just fine before installing the updates -- the update is much worse than any problem it was supposed to fix.

@Max,
Oh no. I'm sorry. I forgot that the Adobe Drive extensions will get called from the Organize menu as well. Try this, if it doesn't exist already, create the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\
Copy the contents from the client\4.0 folder to the new folder. If you still get an error, look for the missing file in C:\ProgramData and put it in the Client\4.0.1 folder.

Let me know if this works, and I'll update the doc.

Sincerely,
Matthew
