hi FU_Paladin

I am the QA manager for Adobe Presenter and am looking at the issue you are facing. In this regard, can you provide some additional detail of the issue you are facing:

- Is Presenter part of your ELS2 suite or a stand alone purchase?

- What is the behavior you observe after installation?

- Have you executed the Office2010_els2 patch while installing?

- would you be able to make a registry change similar to the one that the Office2010_els2 patch makes in order to overcome the issue?

You may respond to me directly at ntewary@adobe.com

thanks

RG,

Thanks for the attempt, but no dice on my end. In fact, I had to create the index.html file from scratch. It was not in the EULA folder.

Brad

Hi Brad and everyone,

Finally it comes to be an issue with IE9. A pre-accepted EULA works fine, but if the product is installed after IE9 has been installed, the Javascript is unable to execute and hence the EULA is not visible.

So whoever is having this issue, they may need to revert back to IE8 to get Adobe Presenter in action again. Finally mine is live again.

Thanks,

Ravi

Please advise...  I have new install of ELS2 Office 2010 32 bit on a Windows7 64 bit machine.  I have followed the advice to alter the registry key in another thread and finally Presenter appears when I open PowerPoint, but now I have this thread's problem.  I tried to go in an alter the EULA code as suggested as a work around, but the computer would not allow my to save the editted EULA file.  It told me I could not save to this space and to contact the administrator.  I am the administator on this machine.  Can any body clarify.  I found the EULA file, but I do have IE9.

Thanks, Amy

RAVI!

You're brilliant! That's it! How did you guys figure that out?

1. Uninstall IE9 http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=10555
2. Restart.
3. Open Powerpoint.
4. Launch an Presenter function.
5. Accept EULA.
6. Get workin'.

OK. Thanks for info on uninstalling IE9.  I'm back to IE8 and Presenter seems to work for the first time!  Thank you all so much.  I will try out complete functionality soon.  Amy

My Solution:

I was running windows Professional 7 64 bit with MS office / PowerPoint 2007.

I downloaded the free Windows XP mode, uninstalled Office 2007, then reinstalled Office 2007 in XP mode and then installed Presenter, then the four patches.

That works. So far.

Has anyone had a problem with spontaneous rebooting in Windows 7 since applying this hack?

My computer started randomly rebooting itself two days ago, and I'm trying to pinpoint the cause.

Thanks,

-Paul

Hi Paul,

Which hack are you talking about? Can you please elaborate?

Thanks,

Ravi

Ravi,

I used Rene-q's hack:

So I hacked the EULA html file (see below)

After installation of Presenter 7, replace the content of the file

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Presenter 7\adobe_epic\eula\install.html

with the following content, where the line in bold is the important one

================================================================

My computer is now in the shop, confounding my computer expert, as it continues to randomly turn itself on and off.  The good news is that the laptop I installed the program on is NOT showing the same symptoms.  I think it is probably something else.

-Paul

Paul,

Most likely your comp turning itself on and off is unrelated to Presenter?

Notice earlier in the thread that uninstalling IE9 solves the Presenter licensing problem.

Is this seriously the fix, to uninstall IE9? My issue is slightly different in that I am trying to do the 30 day trial but getting the same response as in this thread - yet if the solution to even test it is to go through the pain of playing with IE installs, I think I'd rather stay with Articulate. What am I missing here? Oh, and I'm on Win 7 64-bit Home Premium, no SP1, PPT 2007. And IE isn't my default browser, Chrome (11.0.696.65) is.

As strange as it seems the uninstall IE 9 "fix" does fix it. At least for me and as far as I know others too.

Hi David,

Yes, that seems to have solved my nuance of this issue as well - still can't see why that would be the problem but I'm not gonna hold my breath for Adobe or Microsoft to address whoever is more at fault....

jesse

For me it worked creating a folder "undefined" under "Adobe Presenter\legal" and to copy the license.html file from one of the subfolders there (eg. from en_GB or en_US). After that I could accept the licence.

I had the same issue under Windows Vista x64. The solution to uninstall IE9 is "strange" but it worked

Dear Adobe support

I have this same problem of not being able to start the program after installation, as the licence agreement cannot be accepted : the software is stuck there and i have to 'kill' powerpoint.  I use Firefox as webrowser so i still have IE8 on my machine (Win XP pro, sp3)  It might indeed be a javascript issue, can you please help? Reports about this error apparently started in March (according to this forum) we are in June, it is still not fixed ?? or I missed something ?  Thanking you in advance / Riccardo

This worked perfectly thank you.

Although, the install.html file was at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Presenter 7\adobe_epic\eula\en_US\install.html for me.  (bolded the diff) and I had to run my text editor as administrator to be able to edit it.  Worked fine after that.

Thanks again!

For those struggling with the Presenter installer issue and particularly Office 2010 support, I have good news.

Adobe Presenter 7.07 coming this quarter is in private beta and soon for quick release. It will be a single new installer rather than having to go through all the patches. It is ActionScript 3 based and designed to work with Connect 8.2 (service pack 2 due in early August). These both are designed to work best with Caprivate 5.5 and all three are now ActionScript 3 based which will help the conversion issues and incompatibilities.  Stay tuned there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hope that helps.

Its good to hear that a 7.07 patch may fix that issue.

However, one of the original issues during installation was the eLs members were not able to install presenter using their eLs serials. Will this issue be fixed in the next patch too?? Perhaps by making eLs serials valid for Presenter?

Also will this patch fix the IE9 problem??

EDIT: I can verify that rene-g's "fix" for the IE9 problem worked

http://forums.adobe.com/message/3616700#3616700

I was able to accept the EULA and the register my software

Hi Mwyeoh

IE9 issue will be fixed in the 7.0.7 release. The issue which prevented installation on stand alone Office 2010 systems also resulted in installation issues with ELS. This will also be resolved. Are you referring to any other issues? The ELS serial numbers will not become valid for Presenter, and one will need to rerun ELS installer in order to serialize Presenter 7.07. Relevant documentation will provide the details.

thanks

<NIRUPAM TEWARY

Thanks Nirupam I have managed to fix the issues by using some f the suggestions on the forums for the time being and presenter is running well now.  RegardsMathew

After 3 hours on the phone to Adobe and an escalation to senior techn

ical people, I had to uninstall Explorer 9 (reverting to Explorer 8)

, then uninstall and reinstall Presenter 7.  It now works (but I can't acces the help function for some reason).

Win7 / IE9 / Office 2010 / 64-bit PC, 32-bit Office Install

After significant messing around I was able to get Presenter 7 working.  Not just working, but working with IE9, Office 2010, and no registry modification.  This is actually a combination of several things mentioned above so see earlier posts for credit where its due.

I had Office 2010 installed then put Presenter 7 on the PC.  I got the same error as everyone else is describing.  To correct this do the following:

• Verify that your Office install is in fact activated.
• Verify Windows and Office updates are complete.
• Go to - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=153&platfor m=Windows
• Download all the patches and apply them in order.
• At this point you will still be receiving errors when trying to launch Presenter options through PPT.  Next we need to modify a file with notepad.
• Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Presenter 7\adobe_epic\eula\en_US\install.html
• Right click and open with Notepad, make sure to uncheck the box to use this program all the time.
• Modify line 11 to read: <body onload="doaccept()" background="./../background.png">

Modified section should now read as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<title>License Agreement</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

</head>

<body onload="doaccept()" background="./../background.png">

<div id="eula_main-title" class="main-title">
  License Agreement
</div>

(Earlier post indicated to replace the entire contents of this file, only the one line needs to be modified)

I, too, have encountered errors in the installation and performance of Adobe Presenter 7 with Powerpoint 2010, on Windows 7 and in Windows XP, service Pack 3, and who knows what other variants of the same issue.

I, too, have fixed the problem.  But therein lies the problem.  I am in a software support role at my educational institution, the University of St. Francis in Joliet, and my primary clientele are faculty.  Adobe Presenter has been adopted widely by USF faculty to the point where they depend on it.  I repeat:  Our faculty depend on Adobe Presenter, and have been doing so for years.  It's been reliable and highly useful in presenting content.

Until now.

I said the problem is in the fix.  Here is what I mean by that:  On a Windows XP, SP3 machine, which meets Adobe system requirements, we recently upgraded from Office 07 to Office 10, which includes Powerpoint 2010.  Presenter crashed, of course.  I then:

1. Uninstalled Presenter 7 through Windows add-remove programs.
2. I made sure we had the latest version of Flash installed.  (and I continually update it through AIR).
3. From our hosted Adobe Connect server, I downloaded and installed the Presenter 7 add-in.
4. In Powerpoint, I went to Help > updates, and downloaded Presenter 7.01.  I ran it, and had to quit Powerpoint to continue, then ran it successfully.
5. In Powerpoint, I went to Help > updates, and downloaded Presenter 7.02.  I ran it, and had to quit Powerpoint to continue, then ran it successfully.
6. In Powerpoint, I went to Help > updates, and downloaded Presenter 7.05.  I ran it, and had to quit Powerpoint to continue, then ran it successfully.
7. In Powerpoint, I went to Help > updates, and downloaded Presenter 7.06.  Guess what I did?  You guessed right.  I ran it, and had to quit Powerpoint to continue, then ran it successfully.

There is a secret missing step in all this.  Each time I clicked Help, I had to open the Help application, then close it, then click Help again to get "updates" to appear.

That machine now runs Powerpoint with Presenter.  Problem solved?  Not.

Adobe used to understand this, and they now need to repair back to that old understanding.  At the risk of being strident and emphatic, I will put this in bold and in caps:  FACULTY CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE EXPECTED TO JUMP THROUGH THESE HOOPS TO GET A SOFTWARE TO WORK! 

I now face the following prospect:  Going to every faculty member's computer that has been upgraded to Powerpoint 2010 and going through these torturous steps.  But, that's not all.  Our university has a very strong and benchmark-setting online program.  I may have to use Adobe Connect meetings to go to remote computers, take control of them, and go through the same procedures with faculty who reside abroad, all over the country.  I am not unwilling to do this, but I do not expect 100% success either.

I now address Adobe directly.  Adobe, listen.  You've got a patch that's in private beta?  Bulletproof it and roll it out with all deliberate speed.  Immediately.  Now.  For education, this is a nightmare that will absolutely threaten what has been a workhorse solution for many educational needs.

Respectfully,

Hi Glen

The next update of Adobe Presenter will roll in all patches and also address the 64 bit OS and the IE9 related issues, besides several others. This will be out soon.

I was hoping to see light today  with the new version you have announced, BUT:

after desinstalling 7.06  and installing 7.07 with same the license key

(recognised) the same problem occurs again .... I can't believe it !!

Maybe your browser cache needs refereshing but here is what is found on that page:

see the "Free upgrade for Adobe Presenter customers....

See the DOWNLOAD FREE TRIAL.....that is the full version of Adobe Presenter 7.07.
