What just happened - I lost Adobe Bridge?

[richardpcrowe]

I have been working with CS3 and using Adobe Bridge CS3 all morning. I stopped for breakfast. When I got back to my computer I had a message from Adobe that there were some updates ready for my programs. I clicked on the little balloon and then found for some reason that the updates could not be installed.

Not only cannot the updates be installed; now I cannot open Adobe Bridge CS3 at all.

I first tried clicking on the BR shortcut on my desktop. I received the announcement:

Bridge.exe – Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?atExit@InitTerm@ScCore@@SAXP6AXXZ@Z Could not be located in the dynamic link library ScCore.dll

I then tried opening Bridge from Photoshop CS3 which I can open and I get the same signal.

Finally I tried the START>RUN>ABOBE BRIDGE and I get the same results.

What happened? I guess that I will have to deactivate Photoshop CS3 and then uninstall it and finally reinstall it.

Any one have other ideas. I hate to go through all that trouble if it will not help.

Go to Control Panel and do a repair instead of reinstall. The DLLs were changed but the update failed before it could be finished, for whatever reason. Repair will put the old DLLs back in place without having to reinstall everything.

You might need the CD or original installation files to do it.

The other option is to manually download the updates and attempt to re-run them.
