1. Re: Help!! Why isn't Flash CS6 listed in my Extension Manager CS6 ?
Carl Sun Jun 28, 2013 9:31 PM (in response to Babaa)During Extension Manager CS6 launch, it will get installation path of all Adobe products it supports from PCD (Product Configuration Database) firstly, and check whether the product is actually installed in that path, then it will search a configuration file named "XManConfig.xml" under product installation folder or its Configuration sub-folder. If XManConfig.xml exists and it contains "<Data key="SupportedInSuite">CS6</Data>", Extension Manager CS6 will list this product in UI.
Please check the following items:
- Ensure XManConfig.xml exists for Flash CS6 and it contains "<Data key="SupportedInSuite">CS6</Data>".
- Check whether the actual installation folder of Flash CS6 is consistent with PCD. You can launch "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6" and input "BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__;" (exclude double quotation mark) then select "Debug"->"Run". The product information will be output in the Javascript Console. You can check whether the product path is right.
- If you can't find problem in the previous two steps, please check whether there exists permission issue which prevents Extension Manager from creating folder and reading XManConfig.xml. You can try to use sudo command to launch Extension Manager CS6 as admin (on Mac) or run Extension Manager CS6 as administrator (on Windows). If in this way products show up in Extension Manager, then please grant normal user sufficient permission.

Babaa Jun 29, 2013 4:44 AM (in response to Carl Sun)Actually this is a bit too complicated for me. Where do I find PCD?

Babaa Jun 29, 2013 4:48 AM (in response to Carl Sun)I have just done a search for XManConfig.xml and it does not exist for Flash CS6.
However I don't know how to find PCD...

Carl Sun Jun 29, 2013 6:58 AM (in response to Babaa)You don't have to find PCD. You just have to make sure XManConfig.xml exists and launch "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6" to verify path. If you are sure there is no XManConfig.xml under Flash CS6 installation folder, you should have deleted it by accident. You can copy it from other machine to Flash CS6 installation folder.

Carl Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:45 AM (in response to Babaa)If the installation location of Flash CS6 is "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS6/Adobe Flash CS6.app" in your mac, then you only have to restore XManConfig.xml. You can save the following content to a file named XManConfig.xml in "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS6" folder.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
<VariableForExMan>
<Data key="$UserExtensionFolder">$UserDataFolder/Adobe/Flash CS6/$Locale/Configuration/Extensions</Data>
<Data key="SupportedInSuite">CS6</Data>
<Data key="HostNameForCSXS">FLPR</Data>
