Trapcode Designer doesn't open

[bob_nam]

Hi i recently got After Effects and Red Giant's Trapcode Suite (both are the latest versions). When I apply particular to a solid and i try to open the designer, i get this error message.I tried reinstalling ae and the plugin, using older versions of particular and searching for corrupt files/bad registry keys.

Someone said it has to do with the file at C:\ProgramData\Red Giant\Trapcode\DesignerCore\17_0 but idk what to do really.

Without any system info we can't really tell you much. Chances are it's simply being blocked by your system#s security stuff, so an excursion to your security system panel may be advisable. Anything from blocked folders to folder protection preventing creation of temp files...

Thank you for replying.

I have an Intel Core i5-9500 3.00GHz, GeForce GTX 1650 and 32 gb of ram.

I will make sure to allow my stuff to get trough the windows firewall.

If you have any other tips based on my specs plss tell me.

Hi bob_nam,

Sorry for your issue.

If the suggestion above doesn't help, I'd suggest contacting Red Giant support and see if they can help.

Let us know how it goes with them.

Thanks,

Nishu
