Question

FrameMaker 2017 will not start

I've been using FrameMaker 2017 for the past several months without any issues. As of yesterday, the software will not start—either indirectly by clicking on a FM file or directly through the Start menu. There have been no changes to the system, and I am using a standalone home copy.

I need to be able to open documents. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi S Teasdale:

    I see a few other threads on this topic here in the forums, but no responses were marked as correct fixes—the best advice seems to be to contact Adobe Support.

    It seems that they are unable to fix the problem. If anyone has any solutions, I would be glad to hear them!

    Any interesting log files at:
    C:\Users\{$username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\15\

    Do you have everything you need for a re-install?
    Media or download
    Authentication key (if those are still used)
    or registered user credentials?

    What Windows updates, or A/V updates, might have been applied just before it broke?
