Ref. Win-7 64 / CS-6 64

Just got this error "out of the blue" this evening.   I tried reinstalling Photoshop but it didn't fix the problem.

I do a C: Drive backup monthly, and can revert to it, b ut I'd like to know what caused it, and how to prevent it happening again.

Regards,

Leigh

    I tried to open Photoshop cs6 today and got the same error message.  I have seen other postings just like yours as of today (Oct 30th).  I am not going to waste my time reinstalling Photoshop as it did not work for you.   My computer showed I had 3 changes made to it today by Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Acrobat Reader and NIK plugin.  I hope we find out what is going on!

    I, too, had this problem.  Although the error message runs when PS6 is loading, what it seems to mean is that the NIK Plugins won't install because of the missing dll file.  PS6 does load properly notwithstanding the error message, but the NIK plugins are nowhere to be found.  I noted that many NIK files are now dated 10/30/2013 even though I did nothing to update these files today.  So Google (or someone) did something.

    I encountered this error as well.  In reviewing activity on my computer, a NIK updated was loaded to my machine today WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR INTERVENTION.  I uninstalled that update and reinstalled from the original collection installer received from Google when they bought NIK, and my plug-ins are all working again.  Scary stuff, where did this update come from?
