Just open up the Extension Manager from the Start Menu or by navigating to
Program Files, or by double-clicking an extension.

Hi there! I too am having a problem with DW 8 and the Extension Manager. I have only recently installed DW 8,having previously used DW 3, which is no longer on the system. I have never installed any extensions but was looking at maybe downloading and installing some. However, in Dreamweaver Commands menu, Manage Extensions is greyed out, as if Ext. Manager isn't installed, but it is.

What do I do and how can I install an extension? Thank you for any advice!

I have XP Pro SP2 and Dreamweaver isn't installed on C: but on an external HD drive.

Found out what was causing it.
The Windows DEP (Data Execution Prevention)somehow got messed up.
Ran a system restore and now its working fine.
Took me 2 days to figure this one out but now its working fine.

Last resource would be to reinstall everything.Like a clean install of windows.
But i dont really wanna do that.Takes so long to get all the custom settings back i have right now.

Its the same as windows xp pro Sp2 just it has the mediacenter plugin.
IIS is the same.

I have Win XP Professional. I haven't personally tried to run DW8 on Media
Center. Does that have the same server (IIS) that Win XP Pro has?

Thanks for the prompt answer.

My specs: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe nForce4
AMD FX-60 Dualcore
2x Nvidia geforce Geforce 7900 GTX
Windows Xp Media Center Edition 2005
2 Gbyte Ram
2 Hauppage 500 TV Tuner

Tried to run extension manager with dreamweaver open and closed.
Extension manager Veriosn is :1.7.240
Upgraded to 8.0.2 =YES
Installed in default installation path = YES

Let's see if we can narrow down the problem.

What are your machine specs?
Are you running the Ext. Manager with Dreamweaver open or closed?
Is the EM Version 1.7.240? Or something else?
Have you upgraded Dreamweaver to 8.0.2 yet?
Did you install in the default path?
