I am getting the below error while trying to open Dreamweaver though the application runs alright. The errors started to appear after the CC update. Could someone please suggest me how to fix these issues.

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7601.17514_none_fa396087175ac9ac.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7601.17514_none_41e6975e2bd6f2b2.manifest.

Hello everyone,

We would like to reiterate that this issue is already fixed internally and the fix will be available in the next release of Dreamweaver CC.

We certainly understand your frustration regarding the issue but at the same time we solicit your kind patience in this regard until the fix is available.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

So after a few updates, this error still persists

I forgot where to look for these errors - please can someone remind me? I can't find them for the life of me! I have right hand clicked on "My computer" and gone to manage, but forgot which logs I should be looking at

Any update on this?  I can not use dreamweaver at all.  Please remind me why I pay you every month for a product that does not work.

Thank you.

Hi SatheeshA,

Have you installed some "Windows Updates" lately? If yes, then this issue is most probably happening due to the updates. We have had exactly same issues reported by other customers (with same Windows event logs).

Please follow the steps mentioned below and see if you get a resolution to your issue:

1. Uninstall Dreamweaver CC

2. Do a "System Restore" on your Windows machine back to somewhere in early/mid JULY (if that's available) or earlier.

3. Install Dreamweaver CC and then update to latest version 13.1 build # 6443

4. Optional - If you wish, you can install the available Windows Updates.

Please let us know if you still face this issue.

Thanks,

Arindam

Yes, still waiting. Having to use other software. I will soon be testing a promising replacement to Dreamweaver. Come on Adobe, don't make us do that!


Hi All,

Can you please try out the below mentioned 2 possible workarounds (try workaround 1 first since it is easier):

Workaround 1:

  1. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Runtime by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
  2. Restart your system
  3. Launch Dreamweaver CC

Workaround 2:

  1. Open "Windows Explorer" and go to "<Installation drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC"
  2. Make a backup of "Dreamweaver.exe"
  3. Download and install "Resource Tuner" from this link: http://www.restuner.com/download.htm
  4. Launch "Resource Tuner"
  5. Go to menu "File -> Open File..."
  6. Browse to "<Installation drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC" and select "Dreamweaver.exe"
  7. Click "Open"
  8. On the left-hand-side, expand "Manifest"
  9. Select the file displayed under "Manifest"
  10. Click the "Resource Editor" button
  11. Locate the following section (please note that the value for "publicKeyToken" may vary) <dependency><dependentAssembly><assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"></assemblyIdentity></dependentAssembly></dependency>
  12. Select and delete the entire section as in previous step
  13. Click OK
  14. Click Yes (for the confirmation dialog)
  15. Go to menu "File -> Save File As..."
  16. Keep the name as "Dreamweaver.exe" and click "Save"
  17. Click Yes (for the confirmation dialog)
  18. Close "Resource Tuner"
  19. Launch Dreamweaver CC

Please let us know if this workaround works for you.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks,

Arindam Ghosh
