dll files elsewhere in the Adobe installation and simply copied these into the appropriate folders in both cases.Īt least the Adobe error messages were helpful in diagnosing the problem, if not entirely specific - the X5 error was completely misleading and unhelpful, as this file is present at all times. I managed to find older copies of the above. Copying older versions into the X5 folder (they weren't present previously) allows it to find and use these local copies in preference to any other versions.įor reference, the Win 10 r1511 upgrade similarly screwed up my Adobe CS6 Creative Suite installation, and it was while researching that that I found the (same) solution to both problems. The solution to the crashing was to copy older versions of both mscvr100.dll and mscvp100.dll from elsewhere into the c:\Program Files (x86)\Website X5 v12 - Professional folder. X5 had been working fine under the original Win 10 installation until I upgraded that to release 1511 (Threshold 2), so my suspicion is that the latter replaced the original 'system' copies of those two files with later versions that are incompatible with X5. I had already tried sfc /scannow, but it didn't find any problems. I believe I have now solved this (explanation and summary below) but will leave the thread open for now in case anyone has any further contributions.
