I can only launch Dreamweaver from Creative Cloud

I recently updated Dreamweaver, and now it will not launch from my Windows 10 start menu. It will only launch if I open Creative Cloud and select Open from there. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times.

When I launch from desktop or start menu, I receive an error saying it won't start because libcef.dll is missing.

Any help?

Hi,

Can you see if your Windows is updated to the latest available version? Also, if this doesn't solve your problem can you please see if the task manager has some Dreamweaver processes running in the background- if yes, please kill them and then try restarting Dw. For a simple cure, please try restarting your computer.

Also you can try uninstalling Creative Cloud, delete the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE directory and reinstall Creative Cloud.

FYI, these DLL error messages can appear during program installation, while a libcef.dll-related software program (eg. Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2012) is running.

Hello Niharika,

No processes running, restarted, still same behavior.

I also uninstalled Dreamweaver again, restarted, reinstalled, same behavior.

I tried to uninstall Creative Cloud, says "Couldn't uninstall Creative Cloud for desktop. You still have Creative Cloud applications installed on your computer that require it."

I'm not running any security software except stock Windows 10.

Any other suggestions?
