Extension takes over an hour to install

Extension takes over an hour to install

When I try to install this extension it takes over an hour to install into Extension Manager. I know it's a complex piece of kit, but that seems excessive to me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, when I have this extension installed and want to add or remove other extensions it takes a similar amount of time to load the extensions into extension manager.

Any help is appreciated.

It shouldn't take that long. You might want to try clearing your Dreamweaver cache. You'll want to exit Dreamweaver and your extension manager. Then Navigate to your Dreamweaver Configuration folder. Once there you'll want to delete your WinFileCache File. It will have a series of numbers and letters at the end of the filename.

I use WinXP and Dreamweaver CS3.

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration


Once you do that, restart Dreamweaver, and then exit Dreamweaver and then try installing it again.

tom92909 is correct, the install should not take that long.

along with clearing the DW cache file, it may also be anti virus or other real time file scanning software that is causing the install to take a long time.

If you have software that scans files as they are created, it will make the install take quite a bit to finish.

If you are on a windows system, try running the disk clean up tool under S†tart -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup and select the options for Empty the Recycle Bin and Remove Windows temporary files. having lots of files in the recycle bin or the windows temp folder will effect both install an uninstall times.
