I just installed updates for Photoshop and Photoshop beta and received this error on opening Indesign. Any ideas? [I am on a Mac Mini M4] - there is no error opening Photoshop or Photoshop Beta.

    Hi,

    As confirmed by the user, the issue is due to the latest Photoshop update, and the workaround below will resolve the issue.

    • Workaround 1:
      • Uninstall Photoshop 26.5 (make sure to remove preferences).
      • Reinstall Photoshop 26.5. This will install the correct “photoshop_v2025.jsx”.
    • Workaround 2:
      • Open jsx, which is available at "/Library/application support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/" mentioned in the alert in the Text Editor 
      • Add } in the last line

    Reference UserVoice Thread - Error message is seen while opening InDesign after Photoshop 26.5 update

      Hi together,

      today I updated two versions of PhotoShop plus the Beta-Version of PhotoShop:

      PhotoShop v 26.5

      PhotoShop v 25.12.2

      PhotoShop (Beta) v 26.6

       

      Now I see this error message when starting up InDesign 2024 v 19.5.3.44:

       

      Despite the fact that the message is pointing at a script named after PhotoShop v 2025 uninstalling PhotoShop (Beta) v 26.6 is the solution! Did not install PhotoShop (Beta) again. I had no need to uninstall InDesign 2024.

       

      Thanks @jk-d6 for the hint!

       

      Regards,

      Anytime I open Adobe InDesign or Illustrator I get this error message. Does anyone know how to fix this?

      Edit: This looks like a new bug. See this post for developing information:

       

      https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/error-in-scripts-opening-indesign-after-photoshop-update-line-2798-no-matching-closing-brace-found/td-p/15231798

       

      have you ever installed any adobe indesign startup scripts (or photoshop startup scripts) that - over time - may no longer work on recent versions? If you inspect the indesign startup scripts folder (located here /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2025/Scripts/startup scripts ) and see if there's anything beyond the ForceDirectory.txt file. Chances are, if there are scripts in here, one of them may be the cause.

      If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!

      Un-installing then re-installing PS CC and PS Beta CC resolved the issue for me (MacBook Pro M1 Sequoia 15.3.2).

        Hi @Eric26242375qi7o,

         

        That error message seems to be affecting a few users after the latest update. You might find the discussions helpful, as it mentions similar report:

          Looks like there's a file in the Startup Scripts folder that is called a script for Photoshop 2025 and it's missing the closing brace.

          Do you need the script? If you don't delete it from the Scripts folder - go to the Scripts panel and reveal any of the scripts in the Finder - then go back a folder to the Startup script folder on your system - remove the script from the Startup folder. 

           

          If you need the script - then what is the script? How is it used and can you post it here? 

           

          It looks like you just need fix the closing brace at the line it mentions.

          I have been experiencing the same error issue with both InDesign and InDesign (Beta) running Windows 11 which only began today, with the following updates:

          • Photoshop v26.5 —TODAY;
          • Photoshop (Beta) v26.6 —TODAY;
          • InDesign v20.2 —11 days ago; 
          • InDesign (Beta) v20.1 —13 days ago

            I had this issue starting Illustrator and InDesign, running on Windows 11 Home. I also had Photoshop Beta installed. All updates installed. The folder 'Adobe Photoshop' did not exist in 'Startup Scripts CC'.

             

            I uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator and InDesign but the issue persisted. I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Beta and the issue was resolved. The folder 'Adobe Photoshop' now exists in 'Startup Scripts CC'.

                An additional note is that I am on MacOS also, but I don't have that folder "Startup Scripts CC" at all. (Edit: yes I do, was looking in wrong Library folders.) Maybe you could move that folder to your desktop and restart, and see if that makes a difference.

                  Hi @m1b rather than moving the whole folder if it contains more jsx files removing just this file should solve the purpose and preserve the functionality added by the other scripts files. This file seems to be from Adobe if there are multiple reported instances of it so if someone posts the file it should be easy to fix the code if it is just a problem of missing braces.

                  Hi @Manan Joshi yes I'm also intrigued about what the script is, and I'd like to see it, but also intrigued that some users have the "Startup Scripts" folder installed, even though—as a user said on the Illustrator thread—they'd never used scripts.

                  Hi @default11h12xm5yo8m this does seem to be a somewhat widespread issue. We have Illustrator users reporting the same error.

                   

                  @HARSHIKA_VERMA, @Sanyam Talwar could either of you help us get this information to the right person? Might be a buggy script as part of the latest Photoshop beta?
