To this day, the latest version of adobe bridge still reports an startup scripts error!

Community Beginner ,
Jun 12, 2022 Jun 12, 2022

Last year, there was a problem that users responded to the startup script error on the forum.

I sent an email to reflect this problem through the email address left by an employee whose forum ID was “SandhyaS” and identified as “Adobe Employee” but I did not get any respond.

This is the error message box that pops up every time it starts.

Whether it is reinstalling the system or reinstalling the Adobe software, this error message will always pop up, unless the script “Adobe Bridge 2022” is unchecked in the "settings > startup scripts", It's strange to me that this problem has not been solved after so long.

 

This startup script named "bridge-12.jsx" should have existed after installation, I didn't make any changes.

 

The content of the script "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge 2022\bridge-12.jsx" is as follows:

// (c) Copyright 2021.  Adobe Systems, Incorporated.  All rights reserved.

// This JavaScript is to be read by Bridge, Photoshop, and other Adobe apps at
// launch. It generally exposes a larger Bridge dom to the other apps.

// debug level: 0-2 (0:disable, 1:break on error, 2:break at beginning)
$.level = 0;
// debugger; // launch debugger on next line



//=================================================================
// Setup/Support
// This first portion of the script sets up an object to provide
// scope for all Bridge BridgeTalk related routines to prevent
// name collision with other groups' scripts, and defines some common
// utility functions.
//=================================================================

var bridge12 = new Object;

// Set the bare bridge global object to this version so API calls are handled
// only by Bridge 2022
bridge = bridge12;

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// This routine tries to return an array of File objects created
// from the 'files' argument. It will convert a single File object
// or a single string into an array of File objects, or it will
// convert an array of string and File objects into an array of
// file objects.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
bridge12.ExtractFileArray = function (files)
{
	var fileArray = new Array;
	
	// If it isn't an array, make it a length one array.
	if (!(files instanceof Array))
		files = new Array (files);
	
	// Turn each item in the array into a File, or remove it.
	for (index = 0; index < files.length; ++index)
	{
		var file = files[index];
		
		if (file instanceof File)
			fileArray.push (file);
		else if (typeof file == 'string')
			fileArray.push (File (file));
		else
		{
			// do nothing
		}
	}
	
	return fileArray;
}

bridge12.convertPathStrToFile = function( file )
{
	return File( file );
