Cannot Start FrameMaker 12

Hello all. I am hoping someone can help me here. I cannot find anything about my issue. I recently purchased FrameMaker 12 and the Entire Technical Communicators Suite for a user at my company. It worked for about a month without issue. Then one day, he comes in and the application FrameMaker will not start. It goes through the entire splash screen, then it halts with the following error:

Internal Error 12004, 21624148, 21624442, 24554677. FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit.

A file named "C:\Users\joseph.kover\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\12\FrameLog_14.08.13_13.0.4.59.txt" has been generated which contains information that may help Frame development improve the product for future releases.

Then it gives information on how to contact Adobe, blah blah blah.

I have already tried uninstalling the whole suite. rebooting. then re-installing the whole suite.

The operating system is Windows 7 SP1 64bit.

Please help, anyone???!  We cannot even use the application at all.

Thanks in advance.

    I got to the solution.  Go to C:\users\{jirstname.lastname}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker.  Rename the 12 folder to something else, such as 12_12, and then start the application. The 12 folder is then regenerated, and everything works.

    That sounds like the corrupted Linguistics folder issue that sometimes happens – usually you see the components loading up in the Starter screen and it freezes on dictionaries or something like that.

    If reinstalling with Admin rights didn’t help, then contact Adobe Support – install issues are usually a free call.

    PS – make sure you submit the error log to Adobe too – they need to see what’s happening out in the real world
