Dreamweaver CS5 not working on macOs sierra 10.12.1

My mac updated its OS to Sierra 10.12.1 over the weekend. After that, I have not  been able to launch Dreamweaver CS5. I am able to open Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign with no issues at all. Dreamweaver skips the credits opening and goes directly to display the following menu but it doesn't launch the full app.

Anybody else having this issues? Any idea on what to do?

It looks like I was able to fix it.

I deleted the following files from the system's library:

/[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver [version number] (folder)

/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver [version number].txt (file)

When Dreamweaver launches, it creates a new preferences file and folder.

HI!

I have this problem few times in the year, and this is my solution:

  1. Uniinstal DW, very important is to check "delete all preferences"
  2. Install new DW

If you have problem with install any Adobe on MacOs just look at this video: Fix - Can't Install Photoshop CS5 on macOS Sierra (Also CS4 & CS6) - YouTube

Did it ever run on Sierra?

Technically, CS5 isn't tested or certified to run on Sierra.

Yes, it was running fine on Sierra before the update to 10.12.1. The problem has been solved, please see my update below my original question. Thanks.
