I have installed Adobe Designer CS4, and since then I can no longer open my K2 Processes in Visual Studio. It just displays errors such as:


'file:///C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/SING/Mark II/Generic.otf' file does not conform to the expected file format specification. ....


How can I make Visual Studio to ignore this Adobe file and continue using other font formats?


Thank you,

Any one, please?

The K2 Designers rely on the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), so you might try the resolution offered in this Microsoft KB article -- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937135


HTH,

Thanks Mike,


I have gone through the KB 937135 but still the problem persists. Please also note I have a font file 'GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT' instead of 'Fontcache3.0.0.0.dat'.

You may try removing/uninstalling the font from Windows, then opening your process again. There's another method that people with CS3 have used to solve similar issues -- http://hyacinthus.wordpress.com/2007/11/03/photoshop-cs3-up-and-running/


Also, if you do some searching for GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT there are numerous reports of malware but those could be false positives. Nevertheless I suggest running some utilities to make sure your system is not compromised. Here are a few (not that you need to run all of them).

Thanks a lot Mike.


I have deleted the  generic.otf file from C:WindowsFonts folder and its now OK; I can open my workflow processes in VS.


 Thanks again.
