The Camera Raw option in Bridge 6 is dimmed and not available when I wont to edit a picture file in Camera Raw.
I got this message:
Camera Raw editing is not enabled
Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature"
Any help will be highly appreciated

Answer ti post #1:
Yes I have no problem with open the file in Photoshop - and also - if i double click a Raw file the file open in Camera Raw - the only problem is from Adobe bridge. If I right click a Raw file it come with this message:
The error suggests you have Bridge installed but not Photoshop installed. If you do have Photoshop CS6 installed then it seems like Bridge CS6 is not detecting that Photoshop is installed.
I would guess that the CS or PS installation is corrupted and an uninstall of everything Adobe, clearing the preferences, running the CSCleaner script and a re-install might fix things.
Installs can become corrupted if beta and release versions of the same product have been installed or if a mixture of single-purchase-apps and suite-bundled apps are or have been installed on the same system, where, for example, Bridge is looking for the bundled version of PS while the PS actually installed, now, is the single-app-purchased version, and Bridge is looking the wrong place to confirm PS is there.
It also could be that Bridge is seeing an expired license for a beta or other-purchase-model version that knows that app is no longer installed. If CSCleaner doesn’t fix licensing issues, then maybe there is a different thing to do to reset licensing.
I have this same issue, only I am not getting an error message, I just cannot select "open in camera RAW" because it is greyed out. I didnt have this problem last week, but all of a sudden, I cannot open anything from Bridge in Camera RAW. There have been no solutions posted for this issue and it is costing me serious time and money here. ADOBE!!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND WITH AN ACTUAL FIX!!!
I am having the same issue with not being able to open Camera RAW from bridge. I can see the button and select it , it will act like it is opening it and then come up with a message saying " Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifing product has been launched atleast once to enable this feature." I am working on a PC with Photoshop CS6. It is a ligit copy. I have tried updates, uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing works. I am able to get to camera raw thru photoshop , just not thru bridge which is what I need so I can edit multiple pics at once! HELP!! I tried mike _d_1961 suggestion of opening photoshop, then from the file menu selecting browse in bridge, Closing photoshop and trying to open raw and it is still NOT working! I see several people are having this issue you would think there would be a fix somewhere!!
I found a workaround online that might help the engineers trying to fix the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzpGJRP-daA
Folks
The problem is still out there. I am running a Mac with legal copys of my Adobe products.
The Cntrl R command in Bridge is Grayed out and unaccessable.
I noticed this problem today when I went to do some work and I noticed the feature in Bridge was dead.
.........And as I go to get a screen shot of what it looks like.... Its all working again.......
All I did was to stop all programs running, reboot my machine (curse a little) and restart everything from stratch...
I then came over here to leave a note since nothing has change and poof.... it is working now.... Go figure....
If it happens again I will doc what I did and post screen shots.
