Adobe Photoshop CS4 Installation Error

I'm new to this site and my computer has Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.
After I installed Photoshop CS4 trial, it failed to install Photoshop, but the rest were successful. I went to get more information and this is the message:
Adobe Fonts All
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack
Error:
Error 2.
If there is a topic similar to this one, then I shouldn't be here!

I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 for a few months now without any problems or errors.
But last week.. i had a virus problem and decided to do a Clean Installation of my Operating System.
I was not too worried because I have done this millions of times already... and know the process like the back of my hand.
Well.. after the clean installation was complete, i started to load my applications.
To my surprise.. Adobe Photoshop CS4 would not install. Nor would Adobe Illustrator CS4.
It would get to the screen "Adobe is beginig the installation process" and would stall ..
At first... i thought it would eventually complete on it's own.. but after a few attempts and hours of the same screen with no progress.. it was obvious Adobe was no longer responding at that stage.
I searched high and low, night and day, over a few days trying to figure out the problem.
I was trouble-shooting everything.
In the middle of trouble-shooting, i took a break to surf the Net and see if i could find any suggestions when i ran into this Forum.
Someone mentioned disabling your Internet Security & Windows Defender.. and i thought.. no way.. it can't be that easy.
Well.. what do you know.. it was my Internet Security (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010)
After disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Adobe flew right pass the part where it was stalling, and finished installation without incident.
Adobe Illustrator CS4 also installed without any problems ...
I just wanted to share my experience as i know how frustrating it can be when software refuses to install.
Good Luck to everyone.. be patient.. trial & error. .. and im sure you'll figure it out.

"downloaded Photoshop CS4 here and i tried to install as trial (30 days), Error: "Please insert Photoshop C4 into drive E:/ to continue instalation" what's wrong? What should I do? To install free trial? Tks"
@ ApologetX
I had a similar problem when i extracted the contents of my Adobe DVD and made an ISO file out of it so i would no longer need the DVD for installation.
But what i realized is that.. Adobe will not install if it's installed from the ISO.. and during installation.. an error would pop up.. and ask for the DVD
You probably have done something similar.
Here's what i did to fix:
- Extract the contents of Adobe Photoshop CS4 into a Folder
- and install from that ..
After i extracted the contents and installed from "setup.exe" .. the installation completed without error ..
DVD
- If you're having problems from the DVD .. then try to extract the Contents of the DVD on to your Desktop..
and install from there ..
Trial Installer
- As for the Trial you are referring to .. im not familiar with it ..
but try to extract the contents of it to your Desktop .. and go from there ..
Good Luck

Adobe Flash CS4 installation error

Hello,
I just downloaded trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 (Englisth|Windows) but after unpacking the archive and starting setup.exe I am getting error msg (see att). Are there any error logs with more information??
Text is in czech language so here's translation:
-----------First window-----------
Adobe Flash CS4 - Installation Error
Installation Error
An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.
-----------Second windows-----------
Installer of Adobe Flash CS4 application: inicialization
Checking system profile.
Is md5 hash available for integrity check of installation package?
System info:
Intel C2D 2,2Ghz
3GB RAM
about 160GB free HDD space
Windows Vista Ult. 64b
Thanks for any help!

There is no fix. Flash Pro is not compatible with Win 8 even in CS6. There are dependencies with Flash Player components and the way it's handled in Win 8 prevents it from working liek the app expects.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 runnig error - cant load files

hi,
ive first time installed adobe cs software in my pc. i have never used this software before nor its previous version.
when i try to run adobe photoshop cs4 - it gives me error after loading for few things that "A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue, please re-install the application"
ive re installed the application several times but that same error continues.
any help will b welcomed
thank you

OK. This error drove me nuts and I have seen a thousand different "solutions" posted on various forums (none of which actually worked), but I think I found the magic bullet for this problem. This appears to be a result of corrupted/missing language pack files. Here's what I did to resolve it once and for all!
You should already have a folder somewhere with the contents/Setup.exe for CS4 Design Premium
Download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Unpack the contents to a folder/directory somewhere on your PC
You will NOT be installing the Photoshop CS4 Extended application - only copying some files.
Copy the "extensions" folder from Photoshop CS4 Extended, that you just downloaded to your CS4 Design Premium folder (there should be an "extensions" folder already there as well)
Select yes if prompted to replace existing files/folders.
Double-click the Setup.exe in your CS4 Design Premium directory and re-start the installation of Photoshop from there.
Problem should be solved.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 installation options

Hi,
I am preparing an unattended installation of Photoshop CS4. I generated the xml files using the command "setup.exe" --record=1.
Now I will create a bat file to execute the setup with the following sentence:
"setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="AdobeCS4\payloads\install.xml" --skipProcessCheck=1
I only know the argument "Silent" to apply to the "--mode", my question is: There are other arguments to apply on it?
PD: forgiveme if my english isnt very correct

You have a conflict with a CS2 product or a problem with your system's language settings. For the first case, download the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility, run it and remove all instances of Adobe Setup 2.0 that may be on your system. for the second case, set your system to a consistent standard language like US English and also make sure to pick that same language during install. Do not use odd combinations of your system running e.g. in Hindi and trying to install in French.

Adobe Flash CS4 Installation Error Windows 8

I have a masters collection CS4 and have had no problems. I recently upgraded my system and now have Windows 8 installed. However, the entire creative suite was installed with no issues except Flash. I am unsure what would be causing this error. I see nothing in the help about this. I am wondering is anyone knows how to fix this? Below is a screen shot of the entire error, sorry that is all I have to go on.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.

I've read another post indicating this error upon install of CS4. Many of the factors described do not fit my scenario, so I thought I'd post this again.
Basically, I have Win XP SP3 all updates applied. Minimal services running. No software firewall. Everything installed just fine from Production Premium CS4 EXCEPT Photoshop. Error shown in subject line of this post is issued by installer.
Photoshop won't boot stating it is missing files from it's folder.
Wazzup?

How do I reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS4 - I receive error 6 stating that licensing for this product has stopped working.

I previously installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my Macbook Pro. My hard drive crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive replaced. Now upon trying to reinstall CS4 from a backup copy CD (with licensing, serial number available), I receive an error 6 stating that the "licensing for this product has stopped working". Has anyone experienced this or know how to troubleshoot? Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

Photoshop CS4 Installation Crash Issues

Hey all.
I was installing the trial version of CS4 (on Vista) when my power went out. When I tried to install again, I kept getting this error message:
>- undefined
>- The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media
I checked the log and these are the errors I picked up:
>Failed to create payload session.
>Unable to load fileOptions from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\faf656ef605427ee2f42989c3ad31b8\resources\pages\Install\Options\Op tions.js

I've tried a ton of different *solutions* to try and fix this. My attempt to uninstall via control panel failed, i got the same error message is the install. I can't find any CS4 folders in the regedit, so that didn't work. I downloaded windows install wizard utility, ran that, as well as the adobe cs4 cleanup script.
I manually deleted the common files > installer folder. I even uninstalled the illustrator CS4 trial.
Lastly i did a system restore.
Nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Could You post the file (provided it’s not too big) or at least a screenshot of the 3D (Materials)-Panel with some of the problematic Material selected?

Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS4. Please help me.

Hi Geeks,
I am stuck with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) installation since last two days. I am desperately looking for help to get rid of this problem.
My Problem:
At the end of installation of Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) i was prompted with en error
message stating some of the components were not installed. When I check the more information button provided in the error message window, it showed below error.
“Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.”
Still I could find the installed Photoshop in C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
When I executed above file; application showed below error message and close it.
“Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, Please reinstall the application.”
I just try to run Adobe Device Central CS4 which was installed along with it. It showed below error message.
“The Localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.”
So My Problem is I am unable to open Photoshop CS4 after its unsuccessful installation.
I spent more than a day in different ways as I explained below in more info section. I am desperately looking for helping hands to fix this problem.
I ever find this kind of difficulty with any other components installation in my 10 years of development experience. Please help me.
More info:
(1) I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) in this month (July 09) from adobe official site.
(2) My PC OS Windows XP SP3.
(3) Prior to install Photoshop CS4 I had Acrobat reader 8 and Adobe DW CS4.
(4) After I read some stuff on net, I downloaded both Windows install Clean up and CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe.
(5) First I uninstalled all DW CS4 and Photoshop CS4 using add/remove then rebooted.
then ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe (which really did not removed as it did not
find any Adobe component), then installed Photoshop CS4. No luck. same error.
(6) This time I ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe and removed DW CS4, Photoshop CS4 and flash and rebooted. Then I ran Photoshop CS4 as Administrator. Same thing repeated at the end of installation and when I tried to open the photoshop. Finding a real hard time with it.
Any kind of help to get rid of this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
R Sunil.

PS CS4 software itself has to be installed as Admin. Put the downloaded folder on the desktop (if not there already). Open the folder and right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin.
Install on C drive is the best stable choice.
Before you do all this make the anti-virus is turned off. If windows defender is running turn that off too. If Adobe reader is installed renove that. Ensure no other adobe products are running in the background.
During install the process will hang at 90 percent for about 10 to 15 mins. This is normal.
After the software is installed reboot computer.
After reboot go to start, All Programs and right click on PS CS4. Click on properties, Compatibility and check run as Admin. Hit Apply and OK to close. Run PS CS4 and update to 11.0.1
Be Advised:
Now the biggest problem you might run into is that the trial install went too far and failed. If this happened you cannot re-install PS CS4 trial because of the DRM that is hidden in the registry hive. The hidden DRM prevents people from installing the trial more then once and limits the trial at 30 days. There is nothing you can do other then nuking the hard drive and a fresh install of your operating system.

Adobe Photoshop cs4 extended invalid serial number

I just bought adobe photoshop cs4 extended from a large retail computer store.I had the trial version of photoshop cs4 extended.I uninstalled the trial version and installed from dvd.I got a Invalid serial number error.I am sure there was a software configuration problem .The reason ,the disk needs to verfy that you have the original disk,If that happens ,After installation ,Just delete this file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db This is the location where it installed the serial . After deleteing it will create a new cache.db file and store the serial there that goes with that disk . When you open PS cs4 it will ask to enter serial again.Just enter the serial again that came with box ..I guess this would work also with adobe photoshop cs4

I encountered the same problem with Photoshop CS5 - I had the trial version installed, and now bought the extended version, but it keeps saying the license key is invalid. I did unistall, ran the cleanup tool, but it is still not working. Any help is appreciated.

CS4 installation error?? UninstallColorProfilesRollback

At the end of the installation process it says 'DONE WITH ERRORS' when I start the program I get this error and PS doesn't open:
InDesign and Illustrator installed perfectly and are running without issues.
Adobe Adviser directs me to this issue:
UninstallColorProfilesRollback
I went through all the steps as best I could, the pictures and instructions are jumbled and don't match up completely with my system.
I'm going to uninstall everything and clean my system with the script cleaner.
Has anyone seen this and did they find a solution?
Thank you,
John

I uninstalled everything and used the clean script and MS uninstall utility.
I tried to install PS 1st and I got the same error(see below):
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack
Error:
Error 2.
LangPack (English) for DeviceCentral
Error:
Error 2.
I think you on the right track with the language pack. Do you think I downloaded the wrong version?
