Error Message You must install macromedia contributeversion 2.0

:disgust;

I am trying to use the functionality from Dreamweaver to connect to Contribute
and Administer the web sites. I keep getting the error "You must install
Macromedia Contribute version 2.0 or later to administer a site. Would you
like to install Contribute now?"

I am running Contribute CS3 and Dreamweaver 8. Is there a patch for this
issue?

Maybe you don't need a patch. Have you tried to start Contribute CS3 first and
Administer your website from this program? After you did this try if the
functinality in Dreamweaver works without the error message.

I tried your suggestion and I am still getting the error message. From within
Dreamweaver and from within Contribute.

Some of my users are on later versions than I am, could that be an issue? I
think I have one user on CS3.

Yes, that could very well be the problem. All sorts of issues rise when the
administrator has a lower version of Contribute. When a site is administered in
CS3 you cannot administer the site in a lower version at all. Upgrading
yourself would be the best policy I think. I always upgrade when the newer
version arrives to avoid these issues and set the compatibility settings to
Transitional.
