[PATCHED Crack Adobe Fireworks Cs3
Laurice Whack
Purchased and Downloaded CS4 Master Collection today. Everything else runs fine except Fireworks. Things I have tried:
- Reinstalling just Fireworks
- Reinstalling the entire suite
- Using the CS4CleanupScript
- Uninstalling Itunes/Quicktime
- Reinstalling Itunes/Quicktime Still getting this error. The current install of windows is no more than 2 weeks old. All windows
updates have been applied. Any help would be appreciated,
Lori
Adding to the list of things I've tried:
- Creating a new administrator user on my machine and using that
- Using the Guest User
- Booting in Safe Mode
- Disabling Hardware Accelleration
[b]I uninstalled all custom fonts and one of them was the culprit. [/b] I
would tell you which one if I could but I just uninstaled all
non-system/office/adobe fonts I normally would have tried this sooner but since it was a fresh install of
windows I did not have my font management program at hand. If you are looking for some font management software to make this easier on
you MainType is a good one available at download.com (trial version is fine for
this purpose) Appreciate all the help and replies, hope this helps someone else.

I've just been adding and removing fonts so long I kinda knew which are
windows fonts. The adobe ones are easy because they all have adobe in front. a good rule of thumb is leaving any open type, vector and raster fonts,
although there are bad open type fonts out there. going through the list is was pretty obvious to me which I installed myself
but in general: left anything with adobe prefix
left anything with wst prefix
left anything with font family system or symbol
left all raster and vector fonts
left all fonts I knew for a fact or had a pretty good feeling came with
windows or office (arial, tahoma, verdana etc are obvious ones) At the risk of messing with your system fonts just leave anything you are
unsure about.
Lori[/q] Fireworks worked after I uninstalled this font:
Font Name: [b]Ti86pc[/b]
Font Style: [b]Regular[/b]
Font Type: [b]TrueType[/b]
File Size: [b]42kb[/b]
File Name: [b]TI-86.TTF[/b]
Font Name: [B]Ti86pc[/B]
Font Style: [B]Regular[/B]
Font Type: [B]TrueType[/B]
File Size: [B]42kb[/B]
File Name: [B]TI-86.TTF[/B][/q] We were having the same problem with CS4 Fireworks on Windows Vista. Removing
the TI86pc font resolved our problem. Thanks a bunch for the posts!
You could post the fonts at a file share site and paste the link here or you
could do the same in a private message to me. Thanks to all you guys for helping more people who might see this post in
future if they encounter a similar issue. Thanks again

Thanks,
Arun[/q] Only the first windows file exists on my laptop (unless the others are hidden
or something) and I don't have the TI-86.ttf font, but I am yet to find a
single font or set of fonts that are my problem and as mentioned in another
thread, I have 3,717 fonts installed on my laptop and it would take me forever
to find the culprits of this problem, plus the fact I don't have the sort of
time to enable me to do that. [q][i]Originally posted by: [b][b]ArunKaza[/b][/b][/i]
If the postscript name of a particular font is not proper as in if it is
corrupted, then that font may create such kind of problems. Sometimes, because
of system issues, 2 fonts also end up having the same name which again is a
Re-installed my other software and tested fireworks after each install &
everything was fine. Even after installing i-Tunes (along with QuickTime)
which, according to some other forums, was a culprit in the Fireworks failing
to launch caper. Fireworks still managed to start up just fine. Then, I imported a bunch of fonts from my old laptop and Fireworks was no
longer a happy camper and refused to launch. Found this forum thread and went looking for the TI-86 font expecting to solve
my problem. Alas, I didn't have it. I did have 900 others though, so removed them all and added them back at a
rate of 36 at time, trying to launch Fireworks after each addition. Found one
other culprit font - dragonwick (three variations - regular, bold, and FG) that
Fireworks coughed on. All the rest went back in (except for some Open Type
Fonts - see next paragraph) and Fireworks didn't seem to mind them at all. Just
as a test, added on of the dragonwick fonts back in again and Fireworks crapped
out again. Deleted it once more from the font folder and Fireworks was happy
again. So was I! My font folder still won't allow me to install a bunch of OpenType fonts
(.otf) fonts (including a pile from Adobe), claiming that they are damaged, but
they had been working prior to installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and the CS4
suite, but that's another issue and I can live with it for now. At least
Fireworks is running again!
It appears that the problem may be user-specific with fonts that have had
minor damage occur, rather than with specific fonts one can search for. Thus,
removing all non-system fonts, ensuring that Fireworks will then launch, and
then reinstalling fonts in groups until Fireworks stops launching, may be the
most efficient way of finding the font or fonts that are causing the problem. Since the fonts that cause Fireworks not to launch apparently work with other
programs, perhaps Adobe can consider a patch to Fireworks so that it does not
refuse to launch because of some minor problem with the fonts that does not
prevent other programs from using them -- or simply lock out the fonts that
will not work with Fireworks rather than causing the program not to launch at
all.
As mentioned by other forums members it will be great if you could post the
fonts here so that other can give it a try also. You could post the troubling fonts on a file share like www.rapidshare.com and
post the download link here. Incase those are propietery fonts, please send the link to me as a private
message. Thanks in advance

Thanks for reminding me that the fonts are proprietary. They are Adobe fonts.
Under the circumstances, I do not feel comfortable giving them to anyone other
than an Adobe support person. Here are some further details in case they are of assistance:
The fonts were originally the following Mac fonts: Helvetica.dfont - 2.2MB
HelveticaNeue.dfont - 1.2MB I converted them to TrueType fonts using the CrossFont program. The important point, though, is that Fireworks apparently scans all the
installed font files during launch and halts if it finds any it considers
defective, even though the other Adobe programs are not bothered by those fonts
and even though those fonts work in other programs. I would think that such
behavior is a defect in Fireworks that Adobe ought to fix. In the meantime, Fireworks users who encounter the problem need to be aware
that ANY font could be causing the problem, with the most likely offenders
being fonts that (1) originated from other than one of the large font providers
like Adobe, Monotype, Bitstream, etc., and/or (2) have been altered in some
manner as by converting from one format to another. As of now, the best way to
isolate the problem font(s) seems to be to remove all fonts, other than system
fonts, from the font folder, make sure that Fireworks then loads, and then
start reinstalling fonts in groups until Fireworks again refuses to launch. At
that point, one can narrow down the problem even further by removing the last
group of fonts and try reinstalling them individually to find which ones are
defective. John Hoffman
"I renamed the "Fireworks CS4" folder to "Fireworks CS4 OLD" (just so I could
access it again if need be). When I relaunched Firefox CS4, the "configuration"
folder was recreated and my problem disappeared (along with any preferences and
workspaces that I had created - but hey that is better than NOT being able to
access the application fullstop)."
Please try the following steps :
1. Uninstall FW from Add Remove programs ( if any )
2. Restart the machine.
3. Remove installation logs from C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Fireworks * logs.gz
4. Install the application. If you still find the same problem, please attach latest installation log file
from the location mentioned in step 3. Thanks,

I began removing non-essential fonts, free fonts, dingbat fonts, and unusual
fonts. About 50 at a time. After about 3 hours of doing this, I got down to 1525 fonts (yes, I had lots
of fonts) ... and at that point, FW CS4 opened for me. FYI, I didn't own any of the fonts mentioned earlier in this thread. I'm assuming it was either the number of fonts I had (over 2000) or specific
font(s) that was causing the problem. I never did have to uninstall/reinstall the program. Hope this helps someone else.
The problem being discussed here is "Not able to launch Fireworks" and you are
facing *Not able to Install*. Kindly follow the steps given below and provide
the requested logs, I'll try to help you with installation problems.
Best of luck to everyone and thank you once again for your help. I also agree
the programmers at Adobe should work to create a patch to bypass this issue as
I was extremely frustrated. I worked on the issue for over ten hours and did
not have any success until I came across this forum. Best wishes.
I just recieved my Creative Suite 4 Software and tried installing that. Once
again I can not get it to install. I am getting really upset as now I have
spent even more money and still can't use the software. The first Fireworks I
tried to install was only Fireworks. The Adobe illustrator was a trial. Now I
have the entire suite and am still hanging on preparing to install.
The log I am attaching is the log from the attempted installation of the
Creative Suite 4. Thank you,
Kelly
