Same here. A PM stays in the outbox until it's read by its recipient. Judging from his number of posts (2) he's probably not very active on here. :(

Shame ... I never heard of anyone getting the extensions working in newer version of Dreamweaver but I think a decent extension developer would be able to do

Ditto. I suspect most people are using the "develop with it in CS4 and then switch back to CS5/6 workaround" or have moved on to another product. I was mainly using ADDT for it's page login/password protect/logging functions. When I needed to protect a new page I just copied the PHP session code from an existing page.

It really pisses me off when a big company, such as Adobe, buys up some small successful company that has a useful product and then just shuts them down. Abandoning all the loyal long time users who helped make the company successful in the first place. <end of rant>

OK .. I dont have access to DW CC but I tried this on CS6 - I renamed the CS4 config folder then installed ADDT so I could capture all the ADDT files installed in the the empty user/config folder .... I then copied all the ADDT files to the the CS6 config folder...

Results in CS6 is:

ADDT menus available
ADDT Insert bar available
ADDT server behaviors show in the server behavior panel for pages already created with ADDT

However if you try to select or attemopt to use or use any of the options or sever behaviors (Inclduing the ADDT control panel you will just get an alert message that says 'undefined'

Thats as far as I got .... :-)

It's likely there are entries in the windows registry which don't match the install. If you're comfortable doing so, search the registry for a few keywords (one at a time) which could be related to ADDT (i.e. ADDT, Interakt, etc.) and see what pops up.

My Win 8 CS6 installation has some non-Interakt stuff loaded in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6
C:\Users\UpdatusUser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\Mxi Flag\Dreamweaver CS6
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\Mxi Flag\Dreamweaver CS6

I do not know if those directories exist in a CS 5/5.5 install or systems other than Win 8. But I would guess the answer to your question is, probably yes it is likely ADDT installs files elsewhere. Sorry, I know that's not much help.
