Contribute 3 Bug - GetProcessImageFileNameW
Bug description
On launch, the following error alert occurs:
"Error message: the procedure entry point GetProcessImageFileNameW Could not be located in dynamic link library PSAPI.DLL Macromedia Adobe Contribute 3"
...and Contribute quits back to the desktop.
This bug represents a conflict between an upgrade of Windows Internet Explorer 7 and Contribute 3, an older version of Contribute.
How to fix it
Here's how to create a temporary fix
- Find and rename the PSAPI.DLL in the programs directory (located in C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Contribute 3 - maybe in a different location on your PC) to PSAPI.DLL.old.
- Click on the Contribute Icon in the Contribute 3 folder to launch the program. Contribute will now look for the PSAPI.DLL in the Windows directory.
- NOTE: We found that, if you try to launch Contribute 3 from the
Start / Programs menus or the old desktop icon, the problem PSAPI.DLL file
is re-created, and the bug re-occurs.
INSTEAD: Create a shortcut to the Contribute icon in the Contribute 3 folder, and move it to your desktop, and use that from now on.
For a more permanent fix
Consider upgrading to a newer version of Contribute. See the Stanford Software Licensing page for procurement information. Look for the link to the "Complete Part Number List," a PDF, for the order codes.
