Error installing extension into Photoshop CC 2017

I spent considerable time on the phone wit an Adobe technical support person to no avail!

I wanted a simple answer to a question regarding an error message in Photoshop 2017.

It is an error generated by Photoshop that goes nowhere.

Here is the error:

http://www.adobe.com/go/photoshop-troubleshoot-extension en

I wanted to know the correct link.

The amount of second-guessing by the technician was too stupid to write and I still don't have an answer.

Does anyone know the correct link?

    Troubleshooting extensions is not my forte, but I'll give it one more try.

    The problem is that it's a third party extension and Adobe is not privy to the developer's code and testing. The error message while appearing to be generated from Photoshop, may be an error message generated by the extension.

    What leads me to say this is Adobe is very specific about their error messages and they supply a number you can look up. Scripts generate their own error messages and I wonder if the developer gave out a old link.

    To test out my theory, open the .jsx in Extendscript CC

    It should lay out the code including the error text.

    There is also a forum for extensions I just found. If you submit a question and ask your customer to send a screengrab of the error, they may be able to help you find

    the correct link.

    Adobe Exchange Panel


    Yes, the error is generated by the Extension. However, the link is generated by Photoshop.

    Meanwhile, I resolved the issue.

    I believe that the DVD that was sent to the customer was defective.

    I sent the customer a "CLEAN" version using Adobe Send and Track and was successful in completing the install.

    Thanks for all you effort on this.

    The link that does not work is in the original message.

    Yes, I just tried that.

    Even though I was signed in to the site, when I tried to post, it came up asking me to sign in to post.


    Don't know why, so here is another lead: Photoshop Scripting

    I guess you have had a long discussion with the jsx maker. All I can think is the problem is a setting on those few computers you both do not know about.

    Here are the Photoshop settings for extensions. Mine may not be the same as yours, but you can see if those few customers match up

    to what you have. Then there are unknowns like firewall and permission settings that can trip things up.
