64-bit deluxe ATM actually works, you can not install

I actually could not believe. Is Adobe really that lazy that they can't just repackage the installer so it will work on a 64-bit version of windows? Well, it seems that Yes.

I went to my co-workers computer, which has the same version of the software than me and just copied all his computer to the (x 86) folder folder program files.

When I tried to run, the software gave me an error that there is no database in windows, but it let me create a. Everything worked well.
I added our company font scheme, and that they work correctly in Photoshop and Illustrator. I does not check AE, still Prime Minister, but I guess that those are fine as well.

It looks like all you have to do is install on another computer 32-bit, and just copy the files. Someone should test on Vista too. I heard that it does not work under Vista? Sure, just that if you install elsewhere just to copy in the licensed version, uninstall you on this computer when you have finished copying.

I hope that Adobe will get their act together and start doing these things compatible with an operating system that they claim to be obsolete. 80,000 people run our company and it seems that anyone using Photoshop will be for XP64 conversion over the next 9 months. Hmm, obsolete? I think that they do not realize that large companies do not use the latest software, not their software is really only compatible with Vista either. Laughing out loud

Hopefully this post has helped some of you guys. I'm still laughing inside that something so simple worked.

To understand why ATM is no longer supported, you must understand the history of the product and of its initial objective, which dates back to 1989 and the Font wars between Adobe on one side, with its technology of Type 1 fonts of PostScript and a coalition of Apple and Microsoft on the other side with their technology developed by Apple, but generously "borrowed" from the Imagen TrueType fonts a printer laser since the 1980s.

The first version of ATM for Macintosh was released in December 1989 strictly to allow host-based copies of the Type 1 fonts to be made "on-the-fly" of the screen rather than the user having to install versions of these fonts of bitmap to listening to a resolution size and point special screen. The Windows version followed in a year or two. Indeed, blunt ATM an attempt by Apple and Microsoft to put Adobe out of business by locking the fonts Type 1 out of office. ATM allowed the fully scalable technologies of Type 1 use on Macintosh and Windows before TrueType was actually available for Macintosh or Windows. This unholy alliance of Apple and Microsoft have also pushed a clone made by Microsoft to PostScript, image, licensed Cal Bauer (this is a separate story but it goes without saying, that CloneScript was really poor and did not quickly; Apple came running back to Adobe for Adobe PostScript to their new LaserWriters without ever actually releasing a product based on Microsoft's image).

Subsequently, Adobe released its variant Multiple Master Type 1 fonts, which provided the ability to vary the weight, width and other aspects of fonts, generation custom "instance" of policies to better the needs of the designer. ATM has been used to control the building and installation of multiple Master instances.

Over the years, two additional features have been added to the ATM. The most recent was taken in charge of OpenType CFF fonts (i.e., fonts OpenType with Type 1 outlines) and in the "Deluxe version" of the ATM, a very basic font manager.

Over the years, i.e. by the time Windows 2000 and Mac OS X shipped, it original for ATM was gone, because now the beginning with these versions of the operating system, Type 1 and OpenType CFF font support is native in the operating system that is based on Apple and Microsoft code Adobe individually integrating the operating system. The only goal left for ATM under Windows 2000 and Windows XP was to support the creation and installation of instances of Multiple Master fonts. Given that Adobe has stopped developing new Multiple Master back in the 1990s fonts and arrested shortly after the licenses, the need to support several masters outside of Adobe applications themselves (who always supported existing Multiple master instances, either the primary case delivered with fonts or bodies established by the user) has declined to almost nothing.

The only function left at the ATM has been managing policies, historically, the weakest aspect of ATM Deluxe.

Adobe would then make a decision regarding the future of the ATM. The key was the capacity of relatively small fonts management of ATM Deluxe - she provided no automatic activation, was based on the code very old which was incompatible with new versions of the OS and was quite incompatible with Adobe applications, Adobe had measure the cost of development, marketing and support a management program policies of new generation advanced competitive with other products already on the market perform similar functions. In simple terms, the decision at the time was that saw the cost of developing, marketing and supporting a type of force new, industrial, (b) Manager given the current managers of police quality required that users were actually willing to pay for such software available from third parties who appear to meet the needs of the market, and (c) has reasonable , it wasn't worth Adobe make the necessary investments to create a 'new generation' ATM.

Could that decision be revisited someday? Perhaps although it is unlikely that such a reassessment will give a different decision. But for now, Adobe Type Manager is a product that is no longer sold or supported.

Can constrain you ATM Lite or ATM Deluxe to install on Windows Vista 32 bit? No doubt. It will work on Vista? Maybe though we've heard mixed reports and Adobe don't support you if you mess up your system, try to use it. 64-bit Windows (XP and Vista) is another story. The setup of the ATM is a 16-bit program that simply does not work on these 64-bit systems (same is true with old Adobe Universal PostScript Printer Driver Installer). Can the ATM code itself run - Andy Engelkemier claims it does, but don't count on it properly interfacing with Adobe Creative Suite applications properly or the multiple user environment. Because the other fairly competent font manager software is readily available at a reasonable cost, you must carefully assess the value of your time by continuing to run an ancient font manager, unsupported, low functionality without future compared to the migration to the products are still developed and supported by their developers.

    Did you choose this series in the form of European driver of Toshiba?

    If you can not install using the setup.exe, then you should try to install this driver in Device Manager.

  • can not install the latest version of itunes, get the error msg: "the component you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource."

    Can not install the latest version of iTunes.  Everytime I try I get this error msg: "the component you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."

    Then I click OK and get this msg: could not find the path C:\users\my name\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\itunes6464.msi.

    I need to sync my new iPad pro and because used to synchronize requires the latest update, I have my laptop but I never have syncd my ipad with this computer and if I try to backup if I agree to erase everything on my device and sync with the laptop.  Of course, I don't want to do what I want to see everything on the NEW ipad from the old version.

    I went through the troubleshooting and found a solution, but when I had finished making all this trouble report said, there was a pesky itunes shortcut file on the left and I can not delete this shortcut, regardless of how many times I try.  If I can't remove it, the Installation will be terminated.  How can I delete this file?

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. Start by Missing MSI errors .

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.
