I am using Preimere CS5 on windows 7. Every time I try and open premiere I get the error 'Windows cannot find 'C;\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe.' I am tearing my hair out over this one. No fix I can find works.

If you navigate to that path, is the .exe file even there? Can you double-click it if it exists? It sounds like either the name has changed or it's been moved somewhere other than the icon/link path points to.

Sounds like something's definitely gone awry in the installation. I'd reinstall from the original media.


I reinstalled and had the same message came up
