P: Lightroom Classic>Edit in PS: Long Delay+Erroneous Error Message opening Ps Beta 2024 25.0

I just recently updated Photoshop Beta to 2024 v25.0 on my Windows 11 machine.

Now when I try to open photos from LR 12.4 using the "edit in...", it hangs up for a time and then comes up saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2024 could not be launched."

When I hit "Ok" it then opens the file in Photoshop 2024.

This happens with every file, even if Photoshop 2024 is already up and running at the time.

This does not happen with 2023 v24.7.

This is what worked for me to get everything running right again (Windows)

Uninstall regular photoshop
Uninstall lightroom Classic
Uninstall Photoshop Beta
Install Photoshop Beta 24.7 Version (NOT the newest version)
Install Lightroom Classic 12.4 Version (NOT the newest version)

It seems to be important to install Photoshop Beta FIRST before Lightroom or else Lightroom won't "see" Photoshop at all.

Hopefully this works for others as well.

G. Iashvili!Hello, go back one version in the PS program to 24.06.0. In other words, open Creative Cloud, with the PS program you have three dots on the right... click on them and choose other version. Click on version 24.6.0.. Now everything works fine for me.
Hello and welcome,

Yes, I just uninstalled everything and reinstalled like shop in Photoshop and then I put the Photoshop data on a different computer. I can't afford any bugs while I've got a busy schedule.

I will look at switching back to the original version of PS to avoid more delays. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have the same issue, and it even broke the normal PS behaviour too. I cannot edit in the non-beta app either.

... This is getting extremly frustrated as it is so time consuming and I have galleries to get out to clients.

By @defaultls0ll0gu0i0l

I understand your frustration, but...

... a Beta version is a test version to check the functionality and the stability of the software. It's normal that things aren't going smoothly yet. So you should not use beta versions in productive environments and for productive use.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

Tues 15th AUG - Has this bug been fixed yet? I have uninstalled and reinastalled both Beta and Lightroom Classic and I am having the same error come up. It is looking like I am having to uninstall and reinstall both everytime there is an update because my images are not going from LRC back to PS Beta and back to LRC and now this new error .."Photoshop (Beta) could not be launched" has come up. Totally wasting my time yet again having to uninstall, reinstall and now it looks like I need to go back to installing the previous version! This is getting extremly frustrated as it is so time consuming and I have galleries to get out to clients.
