Question

AI CC on Win 7 crashes on plugin install

Hi All,

I had been working on porting an AI plugin from CS5 to CC targetting both Win (XP - 😎 and Mac (Snow Leopard - Mavericks). The installer is a zxp that places the correct versions of plugins in the appropriate folders (32-bit and 64-bit included for Windows).

Everything works fine on Mac and Win - XP as well as Win 8.

The problem is in Win 7 for AI CC, for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The application crashes on startup. I am not able to find the problem as this happens on the client's machine. Everything works fine at our end. I have tested in different Win 7 machines and it works in each one of them. On the other hand, the crash is reproduced in each Win 7 system the client has tested.

For more understanding, I have attached the crash log sent by the client. Please take a look.

From the above crash log, I see that the plugin version is set as 16.0.0.0. How can I see the plugin version installed with AI CC?

Any guidance will be really appreciated, Thanks!

You are trying to load CS6 plugin in Illustrator CC.

Yes, I thought so too. But then the client sent me the details of the file structure in his Plug-ins directory for both 32 and 64-bit versions. I saw that the plug-ins have been placed correctly. CC plugin is installed for CC.

I double-checked by comparing the sizes of the plugins for CS6 and CC on my zxp with that of the details sent by the client. They match. I didn't find anything wrong there.

Are you using the same resource file (.rc) for the CS6 and CC versions. Does the resource file contain a VERSIONINFO block? Try renaming the plugins on your machine to .dll and then right click | Properties | Details and see what the file and product versions are.
