Dreamweaver Error on Load - MMdocumenttypes.xml wont open/missing

Hi,

I just purchased and installed Dreamweaver cs5.5 student and teacher edition for a PC. When I open the program, I receive an error message:

"No document types have been found in the Configuartion/DocumentTypes/ folder. The MMdocumenttypes.xml file may be missing or corrupt."

I have uninstalled/reinstalled the program, which did not change the problem. How can I get Dreamweaver running properly? The MMdocumenttypes.xml is located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5\configuration\DocumentTypes Folder, it is not missing, and shouldn't be corrupt as I just installed the program.

I can't believe I didn't try this earlier... All I had to do was rename the file to have .xml at the end. When dreamweaver is installed, the file is already a .xml file, but for some reason dreamweaver still crashed. You have to add the .xml.

This answer solved a problem I had with the same error:
"No document types have been found in the Configuration/DocumentTypes/ folder. The MMDocumentTypes.xml file may be missing or corrupted. The application will exit now."
I renamed "MMDocumentTypes.xml" by selecting the file in Windows Explorer and clicking 'Rename'. I selected and erased the ".xml" and then retyped ".xml" in the Name field. Then clicked 'Enter' to close the open name field. After doing that, Dreamweaver opened right up after a month of avoiding this computer.

No document types have been found in the Configuration/docmentTypes/ folder. The MMDocumentTypes.xml file may be missing or corrupted. The application will exit now. The above answers have not worked for me to fix this issue and Adobe chat was of no assistance on top of which they have no way of allowing their customers to e mail them for support. I would really appreciate some help here.

    Hello,

    even if these informations are not the latest/newest, they may be still usable:

    Thanks for the info, the mmdocumenttypes.xml file is not missing or hidden in my configuration/documenttypes/ folder. I tried manually editing dreamweavers config, but in cs5.5 there doesn't seem to be an "extentions.txt". I edited the mmdocumenttypes.xml config to match the description given in your last link, but when I try to open Dreamweaver, I still get the error message that the file is missing or corrupted.
