Extension Manager problems

[jim_mex]

Has anyone an answer as to why I cannot install extensions using Dreamweaver
CS3 and the latest version of Extension Manager (1.8.169. I have tried a
number of extensions (free and bought) which should work with CS3 and all give
the same error message. "The installer file is invalid. The extension will not
be installed"

I?ve tried reinstalling DW CS3 (evaluation version) on a freshly imaged PC
with no previous Adobe software installed and still get the same problem.
Any help is most appreciated.

If you are trying to install via the Ext Manager interface, instead try
simply double clicking on the file in Windows Explorer. Or vice versa.

Thanks for the reply Michael. Unfortunately that was the first thing I tried
but it doesnt work either!

I think my next move will be to try to install on a different PC just to make
sure the glitch isn't due to my OS (Windows XP recently updated to SP3 via
Microsoft genuine download

If you just recently downloaded the extensions, then you may want to try downloading them again, and perhaps with a different browser. I've heard previously that sometimes the download may not complete correctly, or some other issue with the browser in question at the time of the download occurred and can cause this issue.

Thanks Danilo
I tried your suggestion and still no luck....
I think the next move is to wait for a new evaluation version of DW CS3
(available after July 1) and try a fresh install on my PC usiing a hard drive
image I have of my setup from before I originally installed the evaluation
version I downloaded a while back
