An addendum to the above:

The other lines of the error message read:

"The Procedure Point Entry@DecodeTile@JP2KIMAGE@@QAEJJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the DLL JP2Klib.DLL"

Mylenium:

Thanks for the reply. I shall report the bug.
A bit more information. I did some checking and found that:

1. I do have the JP2Klib.DLL in the CS4 folder where it should be. I also have a copy in Lightroom 2.0 (I'm about to update LR to 2.1) and in Acrobat and a few other places.

2. I've had to manually re-Associate my NEFs and TIFs to PS CS4 even though I had done so in the install process. It evidently didn't take.

3. I've tried every way I can think of to open PS CS4. I've done it through LR External Editing, directly calling the program from the desktop, and by double clicking on an image file, including NEFs/Bridge. All result in the same error message.

4. I have to correct part of my first post: the first time I opened PS4 immediately after install it did not produce the error message. That was a quick test just to make sure it was installed. I changed some minor settings and closed out the program -- e.g., change the position of the tools palette (2-colums), loaded some of my old Actions.

Could one of these actions be producing the error message? I'll unload them and see. If that fixes it will report back.

Chris:

Is the solution, then, to re-install? Does the PS4 installer also Repair?

John:

Thanks for the link. I have posted the problem, with supporting details.

Hope that someone takes notice and either offer a solution or fix the bug, if it is one.

Found It!!

Ender and Fred:

Didn't get to try Fred's suggestion as Ender's gave me another idea that fixed the problem -- although it's actually a work-around, and this is a bug.

Ender you said to move the CS3 plugins folder. I didn't know if that was a typo or not, so I tried it with both the CS3 and CS4 plugins. Neither did anything, but I got no additional error messages, just the usual OWL error.

I decided to try Fred's suggestion of eliminating the Preferences so opened them up to record my current settings. On a hunch I unchecked my Additional Plug-ins folder, which is on my second drive, D. I do this because I got tired of losing or copying or installing all my own plugins when I went to a new version. In CS3 I use the same additional plugins setting and there is no problem.
When I unchecked the Additional Plugins folder, the message disappeared. Don't know if the problem is that the additional folder is on another drive or if it's because some of my plugins are incompatible with CS4. This is a bug.

Fred - To answer your questions, I do not have any of the suites. I have standalone PS/Bridge and Lightroom. I also have the full Adobe Acrobat. When I first loaded PS-CS4 from the installer I immediately set my preferences, and yes, I did set the scratch disk. I also set the additional plugins folder. The second time I loaded PS was after a reboot, and the error message appeared for the first time.

Mike:
I unchecked the preferences box that said to USE a second plug_in folder. Did you just uninstall the plugin or did you uncheck a second plugin folder in the prefs?

I cannot reboot my system during weekday business hours, so don't know if it will return after a boot. Will learn that tomorrow morning. Intend to try it first thing in the AM.

Arnon:

I have gotten around the problem with my own plug-ins and PS updates by putting all of them into my Second Plug-in directory (per the preferences option) on another drive that contains only data files. The never get overwritten. All my programs are on C, and data files are on D. Some plug-ins require re-installation, however, because they are also stand-alone programs that have hooks in Pshop. If a plug-in complains about the updated PS I usually try to see if it has a corresponding update to make it compatible.
