CC 2014.1 error 5 crash on load, how to fix?

Report · Oct 12, 2014

I get this every time I try to load after effects:

"

Configuration error

Please uninstall and reinstall the product.

If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.

Error: 5

http://www.adobe.com/support/

"

What you'll need to know:

The issue is only on my iMac 27-inch, Late 2013 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB running OSX Mavericks 10.9.5

I have a full creative cloud monthly subscription

Every other program I use (Photoshop, Premiere, Media Encoder, Bridge, etc) works just fine

I have removed / refreshed AE preferences by both cmd + alt + shift start and also by deleting directories

preferences folder has both read + write permission for my osx account which is admin

I have UNINSTALLED and reinstalled After Effects 5 or 6 times including using the Creative Cloud gear option next to AE as well as manually via the uninstall app in the program folder.

I have tried installing AE CC (pre 2014) and it does not work either

I have tried removing EVERY plugin from library media core and doing so does not fix the problem.

Mediacore DOES initialize every time I try load after effects,

I can get to the point that After Effects loads, I have just a couple of seconds to make a menu selection and open a dialog such as preferences, in which I have time to change any preference. When I hit okay... I get the error above I posted in the beginning of the post. If I have the preferences dialog box open and do not exit it I will not get the error, but of course I can't use AE when in that dialog box. If I let AE load and just wait and not touch anything... I will get the same error after a few seconds.

After Effects CC 2014 DID WORK on this machine before the CC2014.1 update.

How do I believe this happened?

During the AE CC2014.1 update CC app showed AE frozen at 99% of install for over 30 minutes... I had some other issues and had to shut down the computer...

when booting back up I had no need to run AE but since I had to shutdown at a 99% install I figure I better uninstall and reinstall.

CC had a hard time reinstalling AE, it took a couple of times but eventually it did a full install of AE... A few days later I needed to use AE, then I get this error.

I repeat... AE WORKED before this CC2014.1 update.. and even rolling back to CC2014 or CC no longer works either.

I need help resolving this Adobe Team...

AE works on my macbook pro with the exact same programs, setup, and plugins as the iMac.

I need help fixing this please.

P.S.

every time I reinstall AE, for whatever reason.. it takes nearly 30 minutes and gets hung up at 99% for at least 15 minutes before completing the install... just so you know.. this does not seem normal.. it shouldn't take that long to install.. same situation for uninstalling.. takes forever.

Disk Utility shows HDD is fine btw..

I have THOROUGHLY exhausting all the options I could fine online short of wiping Adobe off the iMAC completely which I am NOT wanting to do ... less the other apps that do work stop working or something crazy like that.

Levyimage I would recommend reviewing the installation logs to determine the specific error message. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

My guess is that you are facing a file permission error. The install log should give an indication of where the file permission failure is located.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?

No... I've been at this for MONTHS on this iMac!

After doing what I'm supposed to:

CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

And upon loading after a successful install (after checking the logs and finding NO fatal errors) I choose do NOT migrate previous After Effects version settings.

Even when not migrating I get the following error after loading After Effects:

Please uninstall and reinstall the product.

If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.

So I used to Clean Tool to completely wipe After Effects,

Then I thought.... screw the cloud app! why not do direct download/manual updating...

So I downloaded AE CC 2014 directly:

http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/AEFT/13/osx10-64/AfterEffects_13_LS20.dmg

and I double checked for any individual updates:

Adobe - After Effects : For Macintosh

which the only update I saw was 13.2... seems to be no 13.1

Installing AE 13 took less than 5 minutes with the install file!

Installing the 13.2 patch got really slow starting from 40% installed and then these popped up again in the console:

The update reported it successfully installed... I had my doubts..

And SURE ENOUGH! Error 5 crash!

So then I thought... why not just try the AE 13 straight install without the 13.2 update....

I reused the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of AE again.

I just got done with a Remote Access session with Adobe Support.

They pretty much deleted EVERY file on my mac that had the word "adobe" in the filename.

After which... everything worked like brand new!

Problem solved...

The Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner doesn't remove all the files needed... the representative had to go through manually to delete many files for about 15 to 20 minutes to find them all...

So hope this info helps others!

btw... after he did this... not one single error or issue in console log during install or when running any of the adobe apps! yay

tried command + option + shift when starting AE to reset preferences and still same issue.

It takes over 30 minutes to uninstall AE and another 30 minutes to reinstall... no matter what I do it still won't run when premiere runs just fine.

Very frustrated about this.

I need more info or tools to figure out what EXACTLY is the problem here.

And I find it odd that when reinstalling AE with Adobe CC that it would be downloading from an unaffiliated website called www.6pm.com... what the heck?

Then when starting up for the first time I selected migrate settings,

and then I get this in succession:

Which is not a big deal, just means I have my render drives offline atm.

But what's weird is I've been trying to delete EVERY trace of any AE installs yet CC 2014.1 keeps finding previous install information such as my render drives..

Then this F*&^ing thing again:

I'm REALLY tired of this....

Here's console log:
