Cannot execute script

Disable firewall, or write rule for it to allow extendScript communicate with apps.

In my case this was source of problem.

Firewall was blocked ports that was used by extenScript app

Geraldine, I do not want to discourage You - but I had the same problem for more than one FM-version.

I had reported this as a bug even for FM-10 — but noone could reproduce the situation. I thought it was due to my nonstandard installation (FM not on C:\.., but on H:\Adobe\FrameMaker.11en\AdobeFrameMaker11). But that wasn't the reason. The problem did not exist when I installed FM on the system of my wife (also Win7, but x32).

After installing last october on my new hardware (the old was used for 6 years) the problem did not exist anymore. I have not the slightest clue about the reason for the problem.

So it would be worth to check the situation on a different hardware.

Hi Geraldine,

You should not need to install anything extra. Can you provide details on how you are attempting to execute the script? Are you opening it within the ESTK script editor, then running it from there?

I have not seen this error before. I would try this:

- Close all Adobe applications except FM

- Open the script editor (File > Script > New)

- Open the script

- In the toolbar, make sure the target application is Adobe FrameMaker 11 and there is a green chain (link) icon.

- Click the Run button (green arrow)

I don't know if this will get you any further, but it might ensure the proper linkage to FM11.

Hi Geraldine,

welcome to the forum.

you have to install ESTK (ExtendScript Toolkit).

It has to be installed additionally.

Then your debugging should run.
