When tried to open my InDesign (CS2) it didn’t start and the following message appeared:
‘Failed to start because ObjectModel.dll was not found. Reinstalling may fix the problem’
My PC runs on Windows XP Pro - service pack 3, and I have full Administrator access.
I had the same problem a while ago and reinstalled from the original disk.
However, now when the same problem occurs again I want to learn more about how the program and its files are interconnected and how to fix it without reinstalling the whole InDesign.
I did search and found that ObjectModel.dll is not missing. There are two ObjectModel.dll files present, one in the InDesign folder and the other in InDesign Plugins folder.
I think that maybe some glitch happens with the proper location of the ObjectModel.dll but it is just aguess, I’m not well versed in complex working of the software.
Can someone help me to fix this ObjectModel.dll and start InDesign, please?
FWIW: I have CS3 and the only ObjectModel.dll is the one in the top-level InDesign folder. You might try renaming the one in the plug-ins folder to say, ObjectModel.dlx just to see if that has any effect. If you end up reinstalling make a note of what the proper configuration looks like: two copies of the file or one, and where it (they) live.
I used to get that message while trying to open CS4 files in CS3
