Are OSX 10.7.1 & 5.5.1 a bad mix?

[Petros Kolyvas]

I had some trouble for a while with 5.5.1 on 10.7.1 but I deleted the Premiere Pro preference file (~/Libraries/Preferences/), cleaned the system and user cache with Titanium Software’s Onyx and Premiere has been surprisingly stable since.

Just uninstalled and re-installed…

Ran Onyx & all the clean-up tools I could think of… and still

And no dice, still crashes on startup.

Also, I spent about an hour on the phone with adobe support, which started with them asking me the “drag the application to the desktop” and them not understanding that we were already in the library files, and forcing me to “Hold Option, click the go folder, select library”, and look for the “adobe folder” (there is no adobe folder in the library, it’s in library/application support. Then they wanted control of my computer while looking through my library files. Didn’t really trust the lady in the innards of my computer.

Yeah, so after spending 2 more hours with Adobe support (and talking to someone competent), they haven’t been able to help yet either.

I’ve uninstalled, re-installed, cleared caches, created users, everything I can think of… No dice.

Premiere will not start.

I’m getting to the re-install the OS state of things, which is weird since this is a 2 week old install. Maybe I should give up on Lion.
