    Audition won't open except through Premiere Pro CS4

    whitepl Community Member

      So last year my issue was when I got CS4, Premiere Pro wouldn't open unless I had After Effects and Audition 3.01 already open; and then I had to attempt to open Premiere three times -- then it would open. That was the magical solution. I don't know why it worked that way, but that's the way it was.

       

      After years of faithful service, now Audition won't open. On the other hand, Premiere Pro opens the first time without any other Adobe program being open.

       

      My jaw dropped.

       

      Audition will open if I want to edit a sound file from Premiere Pro. I haven't added any new Audition VST goodies lately.

       

      But if I try to open it from the desktop, the error msg reads:

       

      AppName: audition.exe    AppVer: 2.0.5306.2    ModName: unknown

      ModVer: 0.0.0.0   Offset: 6c694620

       

      I tried the Run As solution that was posted here, but no joy.

       

      In fact, I can't even uninstall and reinstall Audition because the process halts with a message that the

      components.msi in the Windows folder is missing or bad.

       

      I'm running this on a Sony Viao VGC-RC219G with Windows XP SP3.

          I think that the first, and possibly only thing you can try is to uninstall Audition, and reinstall it. Whatever has corrupted the first time program run should then be restored. If this doesn't work, then you will have to contact support directly, because that constitutes and installation problem, and they are supposed to fix those for free.

            Thanks, Steve, for your prompt reply.

             

            I would have liked to uninstall and re-install, but either XP or Audition wouldn't let me.

             

            I kept trying 'Repair' under the Add Or Remove Programs, but consistently there was an error message saying that a file '_1FEE7blahblahblah' in Data1.cab was missing or corrupt. I happen to have another copy of Audition running on my laptop, so I copied the Data1.cab to a thumbdrive and copied it into the Audition folder on my desktop computer.

             

            It finally allowed me to run the repair and everything seems OK.

             

            Even CS4 Premiere Pro has gone back to being broken. . .although I think it's a Quicktime issue.

             

            The fun never stops.
