Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall.

I keep getting this message:

Missing file: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSupport?.../ARABIC.TXT

I've not done anything different. I don't know why this is going on and I need to get a project done tonight.

It's also saying:

ERROR:

Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents.

Any ideas? Thank you for your help!

Mac or Windows and exactly which version of the operating system?

Which InDesign version?

[jodir21776820]

I am on a Mac using operating system OS X El Captian version 10.11.5

Adobe Cloud : CC 2017 InDesign. I've never had so many problems than with this update.

Thank you for reaching out.

I've also restarted completely twice.

You MAY want to go back a version... if what you had before didn't have the problem you describe

-Previous via Cloud https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/download-install-app.html

Do NOTE that a file created in the 2017 may not open in a previous version

Hi. I've tried to put in the search cc 2016 and 2015 how do I go back? It will only do the CC 2017.

Did you scroll down to the section with...

Install previous versions of apps

...and follow the instructions in that section?

Hi John,

I got it to work and went back to the version before CC 2017. Thanks for your help!

Happy New Year!
