Today I got an error message of "microsoft visual c++ runtime library: runtime error ..." when attempting to run Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. This is horrible!! Here is a screen show showing what I got:
my dreamweaver cs4 windows error
My method for fixing this error on Windows XP was to do move the following directory into my Recycle Bin:
- c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4
Note: The "Application Data" folder is hidden and you might need to do the following:
- Choose menu "Tools"
- Choose menu item "Folder Options"
- Choose tab "View"
- Enable "Show hidden files and folders"
- Click "OK"
After removing the directory, launching Dreamweaver worked! I was also surprised that I did not loose any of my site settings.
