I have PlugIn Suite 4 and can’t get it to work on my new laptop running Windows 7 Professional!! Tried every suggestion I could find. I get a ‘Failed to startup Background Service (-11)” error. Tried manually starting the Ast service. It won’t start. System requirements are fine, all drivers are up to date. VERY frustrated with this software.

Same problems as everybody else – NO MENU running widows 7 (recently purchased), checked for the menu both on the 32 bit version and 64 bit version of CS4 – did not find it. Checked for files in the proper directory – the files are there. This is a bit frustrating as this problem seems to have existed for a while and yet there does not seem to be any “fix” for it. Can you please help? Thanks

I am an Aperture 2.1 user. All of my photos have been hosted/edited within Aperture’s plug-in. I am very interested about the FocalPoint2 plug-in. Does the mentioned plug-in is 100% support Aperture 2.1 without having Photoshop as a main host application. Looking forward your reply. Thank you.

Q = “Is there a fix for this yet?”

I guess not

Installed lite today but, like a few folk above, I only get a link to the tutorials
Is there a fix for this yet?

Thanks

Tried to get your Lite version to work on Photoshop CS4 64 bit, have checked that the files are in the correct folder. Have the latest version of .Net, have reinstalled it twice including new download of the software installer. And still I don’t see any menues. Any comments or ideas before I drop this product?

@Jake:

Do you have the latest version of Microsoft .NET installed?

I have similar issues on windows 7 x64 and CS4.

Installation of PhotoTools 2.0 Lite is very quick (UAC disabled, run as administrator), maybe too click (i have the impression the installation finishes before the progress bar reaches 100%).

After installation no menu is present in menu bar, filters or automate menus in CS4.
I added the Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS 4\Plug-Ins folder as additional plugin directory, no luck.

Is it a known issue ?

Thanks

@Byron:

If you’re on Vista 64-bit with CS 4 make sure you are going to the Program Files (x86) folder to get to the Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS 4\Plug-Ins folder.
