I just noticed that I was unable to see the standard menus or buttons in Encore so I checked the Library folder only to find that it does not exist. Any suggestions as to where this folder should be?

Thanks!

I just went through an agonizing period, wjile trying to figure out the silly Encore Library thing.

I'm running 64-bit Vista (onl;y because I have to) and after two totally clean installs, still did not see the library in the Encore Folder ---UNTILL I LOOKED IN %$^&*#$ (x86) Adobe Folder. The freakin' installs it in the 32-bit sectio of the OS, and does Adobe mention that anywhere ( I have several help memos)----Not A Word.

The Arrogance at Apple is rubbing off on Adobe...then again maybe it started there.

My guess is it's not so much "arrogance" as perhaps an overlooked bug.

It's great that you found it - and you might want to file a bug report so Adobe fixes it:

just open ENCORE CS4 open resource central under templates you will see missing items listed (Education themes, general unfortunately you have to hit the arrow to the right of the template you want and it will download to your library)

See attached png for example

That is neat and something that I have not heard of.

Thanks for sharing,

Michael,

On the Web site, furnished by Adobe, where you downloaded your program files, there should be a second download link. IIRC, the file name is very similar to that of the programs.

If you no longer have your Web link, call Adobe. Furnish them with your S/N and invoice number. They will have the info for you. They should also be able to instruct you as to which of the two files you need. Were I in this position, I would just download each of the two files, that will be hyperlinked from "your" Web site. One will be the program installer, the other the Functional Content.

Remember! You
b MUST
Extract these files, before you attempt to install. They will not install from the archived files.

Good luck,

Hunt

I too would like to know which zip file you found that solved the issue?
Having searched all downloaded files I cannot identify any that might indicate as belonging to Encore CS4 Library.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Michael

markm75g,

Expand this thread (hit "First") to show all 9 replies above yours. If you did a download of CS4, then the directions should be in those earlier replies. If you purchased the full set of DVD's, then you will only have to do an install, and choose the Functional Content.

Did you download, or purchase the full boxed set?

Hi,

I'm new here, but have not found a solution to my problem of no library in Encore CS4. I found one site that had instructions for those of us who bought the discs (Creative Suite 4 production premium) but I cannot seem to get the disc to work properly.

The instructions were to put in the first disc go to setup.exe, deselect all items, select Encore, custom install, select Adobe Encore CS4 library, and install. However, when I put in the disc and tried to deselect all items it would not work. I could not select nor deselect, only fully install the suite all over again (which I have done 3 times). Is there some trick to selecting or deselecting?

Is there anyone with a solution to the library problem or should I try to get Adobe to send me another disc?

Something strange when installing, I only used application disc 1 & 2, but have application discs 3 & 4 that are not used and seem to not have any exe files or usable files, a content disc that seems to have only a read me pdf file and a learning disc that directs me to websites.

Any help would be great.

This may be the page you are referring to.

When I put CS4 install disk 1 in, it takes a while to examine the system, then shows what is installed (Production Premium) with all the programs unchecked. I can check only the Encore library.

Does the install program see your already installed programs?

Jack, what was the zip file named that contained the Encore CS4 extras? I don't appear to have it. But I'd like to do a search before I try to download it again.

thanks.

Jack,

Most of the programs have their own Functional Content, PS, PP & Encore. AE probably does too, but I'd have to go and verify.

Did you purchase the discs, or just download?

As I have never bought an Aodbe program via download, especially the Master Collection, I do not know how many additional downloads might be required. It seems that just the PP stuff for CS2 was 4.3GB when extracted.

If via download, Adobe will have all of your info, including all links for Functional Content. Remember, these will be archived files (once 7zip), and will have to be fully Extracted, prior to installation. A call to Adobe will get you all links necessary.

Don't forget to Extract all archived files,

Hunt
