InDesign CS6 will not launch with dreaded BEX error for new installs

[mikeh20476812]

I have attempted to install CS6 on three different brand new Lenovo i5 laptops (also they are different models).  I have also installed from two different source codes.  Windows is up to date.  As is the video driver and all of the Adobe applications.  I have repaired the C++ Redistributed app.  These are new installs.  They fail with new and old Windows profiles.  Windows does not allow a BEX exception for InDesign, so that common fix does not work.  Everytime I launch InDesign CS6, I get the following error:

Please help!  I have a graphics department with 35 desktops that I am concerned may go belly up at any time with the same issue.

Also these are Win 7 64-bit computers

You might want to expand on this BEX thing.

[mikeh20476812]

I don't follow.  I have expanded in the message everything that I can think of.  I just gave full permissions to the public.dll file - still does not work. 

[BobLevine]

You call it the dreaded BEX error as if we all know what it is. We don’t.

Do these users have admin access? If not, at least try that.

[mikeh20476812]

BEX refers to Buffer Overflow Exception.  That is about all I know about the specific problem.

I see it in a lot of places and have tried all of the potential fixes, as listed above.

[BobLevine]

Again, do users have admin privileges?

[mikeh20476812]

This does not work for Admins either.

How about trying to run it as an admin? Also, just for giggles, try to run it in XP compatibility mode.
