InDesign 2022 crashes at launch

[ellent60567136]

Can someone help me with this problem that I'm having?
Everytime when I launch Adobe Indesign 2022 after 5 seconds it crashes. 
I have already uninstalled and installed it like ten times.
I have repaired Visual C++ 

And also have removed the preference folder

I have also attached the crash report. 

Thank you so much

Try to reset preferences: quit InDesign and relaunch it while holding down the Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys until you see a warning message asking for confirmation.

And also have removed the preference folder

Unfortunately, it's useless

@jmlevy thank you for your suggestion. 
Unfortunately it did not resolve the problem 🙂

Did you get a warning message?

because I bought a licence for the Adobe Master package of 2022 and there are no updates included

Where did you buy this? Adobe does not sell a such product, and AFAIK, the only way to get InDesign is a subscription. It looks that you have been swindled.

I'd love your help. I did what you said above, and only to have it launch and crash before I could do anything.

I also tried renamed the preference folder (the language one) - too scared to delete - but that didn't seem to help.

I have the latest version of inDesign from creative cloud, and I need to get back in so I can send my newspaper to the printer tomorrow. What should I do?  thanks Cathy  PS It is amazing how many people have had this problem over the years.

How did you install InDesign?

[ellent60567136]

Hi @Willi Adelberger, thank you for replying. 
I installed it from a setup since I bought a licence for the Adobe Master Collection 2022, and it came with a setup (not Adobe creative cloud app).

Hi @ellent60567136 ,

you state that your InDesign has version 17.0.0.96.

The latest one is 17.3.0.61 for Windows.

First do an update to that version through the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

Hi @Laubender, thank you for your reply. 
Unfortunately I cannot update this version because I bought a licence for the Adobe Master package of 2022 and there are no updates included. I did not install it from the Creative Cloud Desktop app but from a Setup.

Hi @ellent60567136 ,

I have no idea what the "Adobe Master package of 2022" could be.

Did you perhaps "buy" a pirated version?

Where did you buy this version?

Hi @Laubender,
Thank you for getting back to me.
I'm sorry I meant the Adobe Master Collection 2022. Not 'package'. 🙂
No I didn't buy an illegal pirated version, otherwise I would not seek for help and a solution at the official Adobe community. 😉
I bought it from actievandedag who are were selling unused licences which I read is since 2012 according to the European Court of Justice not illegal. So as far as I know I did not buy a pirated version.

[BobLevine]

You bought an illegal copy. There is no such thing as the Master Collection anymore and hasn't been since for 10 years or so. 

[ellent60567136]

Oh wauw, so I've been ripped off, since it's illegal ánd besides that it's not working either. Great....

Nobody says that you did buy it intentionally.

Have a look to the price of the subscription on the Adobe site and compare it with the price on activevandedag. As we say in French: “it is too beautiful to be true”. Unfortunately, this version is illegal.
