'Installation not configured correctly' message when starting InDesign or InCopy with Studio for InDesign and InCopy installed

When starting InDesign or InCopy with Studio for InDesign and InCopy installed, a message appears:

Your installation has not been configured correctly. Please contact your administrator.

For details see <InDesign or InCopy folder>/ConfigCheck.txt.

This can occur when your InDesign/InCopy installation contains default InDesign/InCopy plug-ins that interfere with the functionality of Studio for InDesign and InCopy. These plug-ins need to be moved (usually the installer of Studio for InDesign and InCopy will take care of this automatically).

Solution #1

Run the installer for Studio for InDesign and InCopy once more. See Installing Studio for InDesign and InCopy.

Solution #2

After closing InDesign/InCopy, open the ConfigCheck.txt from the specified location. The file shows a list of plug-ins and their status; all should be marked 'NO', indicating that they are not present any more.

This file is a result of the configuration check performed during startup.

If any of the files listed below exist, which is identified by a YES, then the file needs to be removed.
