Extension Manager not recognizing Dreamweaver

[janellenball]

Hi everyone,

I am on a Mac G5 with Panther installed, and for some reason, my Macromedia
Extension Manager isn't recognizing that I have Dreamweaver MX 2004 installed.
Oddly enough, it DOES recognize my other MX Studio 2004 products...it just
doesn't "see" Dreamweaver and when I go to install an extension it tells me
that I must have Dreamweaver MX 2004 to continue (which I do...).

Is there a bug somewhere with the Mac version of this thing? I downloaded the
most recent version just this morning to make sure that wasn't the problem. I
never ran across this problem on my old iMac, just on the new machine.

Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Jan

Jan,

Try installing extensions with DW open.

Didn't help here. The extention Manager will not install any dreamweaver extension but it see flash and fireworks. I'm on a Mac running 10.3.8.

Had the same problem with Panther, Dreamweaver and the Extension Manager.
Problem didn't go away with Ken's solution. But, I followed it another step,
and closed the Extension Manager, opened Dreamweaver, and re-opened the
Extension Manager. THEN, it saw Dreamweaver right away.

Extension manger is not recognizing Dreamweaver CS3, It did have Dreamweaver
8, but after I un-installed that, CS3 did not show up. When I try to install
an extension, EM tells me that I have to have Dreamweaver MX or greater. The
EM version number is 1.8.169.

Try launching Dreamweaver CS3 first, then launch the EM. Sometimes the EM doesn't find Dreamweaver unless it's running.
