Cannot install Dreamweaver Extension?

  • May 10, 2006

I've recently upgraded to OS X 10.4 and reinstalled my DMX 2004. It's been a little buggy, but fine overall. (I did upgrade to 7.0.1) Yesterday, I tried to install an extension, the WebPhotoAlbum226.mxp, and I kept getting the message:
"This extension requires the following products: Dreamweaver MX or greater", and the installer refused to install the extension. I downloaded another extension and tried to install it also. Same message.
Has anyone else had this happen?

Thanks,

Try reinstalling the Ext Manager. And be certain you are using the
latest release.

Or alternatively you can try just the opposite: Close DW and
double-click directly on the mxp file in your WindowsExplorer (or the
mac equivalent).

This is a bug in Extension Manager where it doesn't recognize that a product of the appropriate level is installed. One way that many folks have gotten around it is to have EM closed, open up the product you want to install into, open EM, change the drop menu to the product and install the extension.

Thanks man. After I installed the latest version of the Extension Manager, the extension installed fine.
