ANNOUNCE: ATM 4.1.2, fixes certain 2000/XP issues

There is a new patch for ATM for Windows. There are separate updaters for ATM Light and Deluxe, to update them to version 4.1.2.

The ATM Deluxe update is at: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1553

The ATM Light update is at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1552

The updates address the following issues:

1) Uninstalling ATM 4.0 on a Windows 2000 or XP system causes the system to no longer be able to install Type 1 fonts. This is a Windows bug, which ATM 4.1.2 works around.

2) Uninstalling ATM 4.0, or 4.1, or 4.11 on any Windows platform causes PFM files to be left unassociated with the system font applet preview page. ATM 4.1.2 associates PFM files with the system font applet instead of ATM; uninstalling 4.1.2 thus causes no problem.

    Do you have or have you had ATM installed?

    I'm in a Windows98 Rev 2 environment.

    When I execute the file, I get the first note saying what the patch will do and I note that Windows 98 is not mentioned.

    I then get the prompt to unzip the file and I click OK.

    That is followed by a DOS window with
    D:\temp\wzse0.tmp > call ATMfix.reg
    Bad Command or file name.
    There is no further action.

    My zip program is not allowed to independently unzip the file.

    Thoughts???

    You can also run the patch after removing ATM4.0 but before installing ATM4.1.

    The ATM fix for both the deluxe and light versions didn't work on my machine. I am logged in as administrator, used ATM deluxe and said it needed windows 95. Made it simulate that. The program loaded but wouldn't let me install any fonts. Tried the fix but still wouldn't work so I uninstalled. Now it says there is still an instance running. Very frustrating. Any suggestions.

    That message means you have ATM 4.0 installed. You need to install
    4.1 before you can apply the 4.1.2 patch.

    Install ATM Deluxe 4.0 on Win XP - how?
    I did a clean install of Win XP. ATM Deluxe won't run, I've tried downloading and running the above listed fix 4.1 by placing it in the psfonts dir. Is there something else I should be doing. I still have Win 97SE on a separate hard drive. I am confused about the font issue in XP. I gather they want all fonts in their font folders and no font sets. Is that correct?

    Do not even try! Whether you succeed or not, you may break Windows,
    as you will find in countless discussions of this point.

    You MUST get 4.1. This is not a download, but a paid upgrade. You
    can download 4.1.2, but that is a fix for 4.0.

    Carlos -- Please start a new thread, not under this one, and explain the details, operating system, *exact* version of ATM, type of ATM (Deluxe or Lite), and what the problem is.

    So let me get this right, if I have installed ATM 4.0 and DO NOT uninstall it (on Windows 2000 Pro), then it should not cause any problems right? It is only if I uninstall, then I will have issues 1) and 2) listed above?

    Can some Adobe staff verify this? We are ready to roll out an application that requires ATM, so it would help if we can get some confirmation.
    Thanks.

    No, it's potentially very bad. Potentially doing this will break type 1 font support complelely.

    You MUST use ATM 4.1 or above if you use ATM.

    All installation and use of ATM, Lite or Deluxe, requires login as Administrator (or userid with "Administrator" privileges)!

    I downloaded the new lite version, 4.1 today 08/02/2002 as when normal users log in, it still says 'no write access'. Give the users the rights to the keys in the registry and it still flashes the same message and shutdowns. Any ideas anyone??
