Dreamweaver 2017 won't open

I have a Creative Cloud subscription and have been using Dreamweaver CC.

Today I downloaded Dreamweaver CC (2017).

When I click on the application, there's a 1-second indication that the application is trying to open, but it does not open.  I saw one support comment to give read/write permissions to the Preference folder....but I don't find a preference folder anywhere in the Dreamweaver folder or in the general Acrobat folder.  Any ideas?

  • Did it even launched once on your machine?
  • Do you get any error message on launch?

Preferences folder you can find at below locations

Mac OS: /[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe

Windows: Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC [version number] (folder)

Thanks,

Lalita

The first time you launch a new version of DW, right click your desktop icon and select "run as administrator."
