Dreamweaver Runtime Error
I have Dreamweaver installed in my laptop. I use it frequently to design and develop web applications.
But today… it scares me to hell.
The program failed to load as usual.
It shows up this error everytime I try to launch the program.
“Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Program:C\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Dreamweaver.exe.
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application’s support team for more information.“
I restarted my laptop a few times but the problem still persist.
What’s next?
I assume some of the files might be corrupted. So, I went to control panel–add/remove programs and uninstall Dreamweaver.
I kept a copy of the installer in my machine. Reinstalled.
Damn. The problem is still there. I can’t get into the program. It terminates by itself after showing the error.
I googled and hope to find some solutions. None of them worked.
So what did I do?
I uninstalled the program again. But this time, I ran the installer and select the option to remove from there. I leave the uninstall options as it is (“Do not remove preferences or configuration files for any users“ is ticked by default).
Upon completion, I did a fresh installation into a different a directory. Instead of “C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Dreamweaver.exe“, I created a new folder… “C:\dreamweaver“.
Guess what? Dreamweaver is back and to my surprise, all the site settings is still there.
Woohoo!!
