Problem with NIK Collection

Hello Harald,

NIK software is rolling out a new version of their plug-in collection. Done silently in the background via Google updater, without any further information etc., but the installation failed, the plug-ins crashed. After getting info from NIK support, I installed the new verion manually. Now all NIK plug-ins cause an APPCRASH of PSE10. After uninstalling ElementsXXL, they work; after re-installing ElementsXXL, PSE freezes again. So there seems to be an incompatibility here. Would you please have a look at this problem?

Thank you.

I just tested the latest Nik Collection update in PSE 10 with ElementsXXL 1.04 under Windows 7 and did not find any problem.

Does the crash occur before the Nik plugin window is displayed or after pressing the OK button on the Nik plugin window?

The error occurs 2 or 3 seconds after clicking on the plug-in to start it:

I tested with the same versions of nik, Photoshop Elements and Windows and did not get a crash. As long as I cannot reproduce the problem, I cannot fix it. Sorry.

You could try reinstalling nik. Would at least be worth a try.

I have read of these crashes elsewhere online. Like Harald said, a reinstall should help.

Indeed, Google has silently installed version 'nikcollection-1.1.0.7.exe'. This did not solve the Problem. But manually re-installing this kit did it: ElementsXXL and NIK are running together again.
Thank you very much for your help.

Good to hear that it worked. I also manually installed it.

Alas, it happened again. After installing ElementsXXL1.05, the NIK plugins caused PSE 10 to crash. But this time, manually reinstalling NIK did not solve the problem. Are there any changes in 1.05 that might give a clue to what is going on?

Thank you.

Sorry to hear that. There are only small changes in ElementsXXL 1.05.

I could imagine that installing ElementsXXL again, changed its file date or file order so that it is loaded and executed before the nik automation plugin. Try reinstalling nik again tomorrow.

Nik version 'nikcollection-1.1.0.9' arrived on my harddisk today and was installed silently (a ridiculous and bad way to deliver software). I re-installed it manually, but the Nik plugins and ElementsXXL still have problems. I have decided to uninstall ElementsXXL and use it no more. Maybe, some day...
