use your serial num to activate.
if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. re-read and retry.

Upgrade to CS4 when CS2 disks lost

I lost my CS2 disks, but Adobe Web Support said I could still purchase the CS4 upgrade instead of the full version because I have the CS2 serial numbers. The problem is, I'm upgrading to a brand new computer. In order for the CS4 upgrade software to work, doesn't the computer need to have the CS2 software installed on it? Is there a way to get the CS2 software from my old computer to my new computer without disks, or am I forced to buy the full version for my new computer?

No, it doesn't need to be installed. The serial number should be fine for verification.
Did you register CS2? If so, and you have a problem, you can call Adobe for help with the installation.

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 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

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?

Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh? If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized. Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.

Premiere Pro CS4 Installation Failed - Again!

Hi all
We are currently using an old version of Adobe Premiere which I would like to upgrade to the latest version. I want to show everyone in the company how good the latest version is and get them to pay for an upgrade/full version.
I then noticed a free trial download for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and thought great idea. Well done Adobe I can now show everyone how good the latest CS4 version is.
5 days later I still can not get the damn thing to install and work!! :-(
In a desperate move I even tried it on a new Windows XP Pro SP3 - 3Gb RAM - Quad Core - 1Tb HD etc.. and when I try and install the Premiere windows 1.3Gb trial installation it eventually says at the end of the installation process (which takes for ever) "Installation Failed - One or more required components of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 failed to install correctly." and it shows the following error log:
Adobe Dynamiclink Support
Error:
Error 2.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Dolby

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 LangPack (en_US)
Error:
Over the last 5 days I have looked through this forum site and tried every recommendation it suggests to fix the problem including:
1) Uninstalling / Re-installing serveral times the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 which eventually comes up with the above error.
2) Turned off all Anti-Virus applications and disabled all running windows applications.
3) I have also tried the WinCS4Cleanupscript process
4) Manually deleted and removed the premiere folders
5) I even rang up adobes technical support line and they said use the forums to solve the problem. Cushy job they have...
None of the above fix the problem...
So here I am. Has anyone got any ideas how to make it run up in trial mode ?
Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated as I suspect im not the only one having this problem.

Day 8 - OK I have finally fixed the problem. I got fed up and purchased the full Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 product and it installed and worked 1st time!!!
I must admit im very annoyed that the Trial version failed but the full product works. The 2 x Premiere Pro CS4 installation CDs went through the installation process without a hitch and I did not get any installation error messages at all.
So my no 1 question is why does the online Adobe Premiere CS4 Trial version fail to install but the full product can ?
For what its worth, here are my final observations from this whole saga:
1) The first thing I noticed on the Full Product CD Installation is it defaulted to and installed the "en_International" version and not the "en_US" language version. For some reason the online trial version defaulted to "en_US" language and I used this option during the trial installations. Maybe this language option upsets the installation process on my UK PC.
Now I have it working im not going to risk re-installing it all again. But if your a UK user and you encounter problems during the trial installation process then try selecting the "en_International" language option. You never know.
2) Another obvious observation is the trial version has numerous features removed and hacked out of it So did the Adobe engineer get carried away with the hacking process and also remove some important installation code and procedures.
After several days of trying to get the trial version to work there is obviously a problem with the trial installation process and it needs looking at. I must of installed and reinstalled it 15+ times and during this time it upset my Dreamweaver CS4 app so forcing me to re-install this application as well.
Please Adobe just give the online users the option of 2 x CD ISO Images to download and burn onto a CD as this could save other users the same frustrating time I have had and maybe give you more revenue.

Issues With CS4 Installation on Win 8?

I purchased CS4 (Web Premium) on disc several years ago, and it has been working fine on my Win XP computer ever since. The Adobe software has all the current updates, though I am using the CS4 version of Acrobat Pro (9.xx) rather than a more recent (free) version of Reader.,
Unfortunately, my computer's hard drive has fried, and I just purchased a new Windows 8 machine, which will arrive shortly. I am trying to determine:
1. Are there any general issues with CS4 installation on Win 8 that I should know about in advance?
2. Are there specific procedures (de-activation?) that I need to follow BEFORE attempting the installation on the new computer?
3. Other than specific user issues, are there problems with CS4 versus Windows 8 that I would not encounter with Windows 7.
I enhance photos and create web sites for a living, so the CS4 installation is mission-critical. I am hoping I did not make a mistake in ordering a Win 8 machine...
Thanks for any and all insights.

OK, fair enough. Maybe someone who has actually experienced this situation (CS4 --> Win 8 machine) might see this and offer some tips to avoid hassles. But I will try the install as soon as I get the new machine and post any ensuing issues/problems here.
As for de-activation of the previous installation on the XP machine, that is now impossible, as the hard-drive is fried. Unless there is a way to de-activate an installation some other way (without actually opening the programs). That said, I AM able to access files on the fried harddrive, so if there is a specific file that controls de-activation, I could access it on the old machine. However, I may not be able to actually RUN said file on that machine, but can copy it to a stick and move it elsewhere. So, any thoughts on deactivation of an installation on a deceased computer?

"Application Not Found" CS4 installation error

Problem: "Application Not Found" CS4 installation error
Some Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Production Premium distribution disks issue an "Application not found" error while loading Disk 2 due to an error in the Autorun.inf file.
Does your Autorun.inf for Disk 2, 3, or 4 contain
[autorun]
open=Autoplay.exe -auto
icon=\csppdvd.ico
Autorun.inf should instead only say
[autorun]
icon=\csppdvd.ico
There should not be the line
open=Autoplay.exe auto
Only Disk 1 should have this line.
On Disk 1, Adobe has a file called Autoplay.exe which starts the installation.
"open=Autoplay.exe auto" runs the Autoplay application.
Autoplay.exe is not on Disk 2, 3, or 4 so having the open line generates the error.
Since you cannot edit the DVD, the trick is to turn off autorun so Windows doesn't run Autorun.inf upon loading Disk 2. Look at the Wikipedia description of "Autorun" for details. Wikipedia describes how to disable Autorun using
Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc
You will need to do this for XP. Vista has a Control Panel which allows you to "Take no action" for "Software and games". If this does not work, use gpedit.msc instead. You will know Autorun is off if upon inserting Disk 1, no installation window appears.
Wikipedia notes that "AutoPlay is the name of a different feature in Microsoft Windows" not to be confused with Autorun starting the Autorun.inf file.
Now that Autorun is off, manually double click Autoplay.exe on Disk 1 to start the installation. Disk 2 should now load properly.
By the way, it appears you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Some Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Production Premium distribution disks had the same problem. Obviously, Adobe did not learn from their past mistake.
You may want to call Adobe to obtain replacement disks which don't have this error.

Petrula,
Can you look at the DVDs and send me the numbers you find on the inner edge? Also, any numbers on the outer DVD sleeves. This can help us to identify which sets of media are affected and possibly resolve it, or at least more specifically target solution information.
Thank you!

Fixing a CS4 installation

Hi,
I just uninstalled InDesign CS6 -- which leaves on my computer InDesign
CS4.
Some file associations are now not quite working properly (specifically,
for the ExtendScript toolkit).
Is there any way to "fix" an installation of InDesign CS4? (without
having to uninstall and reinstall)
Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit
Thanks,
Ariel

Try running the installer again without uninstalling first. You should have a "repair" option which MIGHT work, or maybe run System Restore and pick a point before you installed CS6....

How to install After Effects CS5.5(64-bit) with After Effects CS4 installer(32bit)?

I have purchased After Effects CS5.5 unknowingly it is only for 64 bit system.My system is 32 bit.When I read a Adobe help page I got to knew that 32 bit users can install AE CS5 and above with help of a AE CS4 installer.Please help me how to do this.My system specs are:
Windows 7 32-bit
Intel Core i3 3.2 Ghz processor
2 GB ram

In this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs6-32bit.html they tells that:"The support package installs CS4 versions of the Adobe applications to assist users who were transitioning to a 64-bit OS.If you currently have the CS4 32-bit installer and serial number, you can deploy without any additional steps." I didn't understand properly. Plz refer the page and tell me what it means.

CS4 Installation Failed

I was trying to install Creative Suite Standard (CS4) onto a PowerPC G5 Mac and there was a power cut in the middle of the installation.
I have since unsuccessfully tried to install the software again on numerous occasions getting the following errors.
I have tried all of the following steps:
1. Running the clean script utility (which does find an installation each time to remove)
2. Installing in safe-mode
3. Installing on a new user account
4. Force quitting all unnecessary processes using the Activity Monitor
Interestingly each time I try to reinstall after the error I don't get prompted for a serial number so it makes me think that there are some installation files floating around even though the clean script has been run.
I know I can reinstall the system software (OSX 10.4.11) and see if that works but don't want to go down that path if there is something else I can do to solve the problem.
If anyone has got any thoughts or if there is a method to manually remove all the previous install files I would greatly appreciate any information.
Regards, Lloyd

CS4 setup from disk

I am re-installing CS4 from the disk and installation has stalled. I cannot quit "Setup" and therefore can't even eject the disk. What do I do? Is there an issue with Mac OS 10.8.2? Thanks.

Well it most certainly was never tested under Mac OS 10.8.2. Have you tried force quiting the installer? You can access the force quit menu under the Apple Menu.

Need help w Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro reinstall from CS4 Master Collection disks.

Hi all, I'm hoping that you can help me with something. This bug is costing me tons of time and frustration, so whoever can give me a walkthrough, step by step, of what to do, will be my favorite person of the year.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro that I installed originally from my CS4 Master Collection. This collection came as a set of physical disks.
Now, the problem is that, for the past couple of years, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has been super, duper buggy on my computer. For example:
- It won't let me install updates to it.
- It does weird things and gets stuck a lot.
- It likes to crash.
- It won't let me uninstall it. I tried to uninstall it, and I got an error message that says, "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller."
- I tried all kinds of things. I looked on the forums and took all the different kinds of advice. Same problems persist.
- The current version is 9.4.4. It hasn't let me update since then.
I am afraid to just delete the application, because word on the street is that doing that will mess up all your files. So I want to uninstall properly. I heard on the forums that reinstalling is the best way to go.
I finally found the CS4 disks that I used to install this (and my entire CS4) a few years ago. But now I'm not sure what to do next. These are my challenges:
- When I put in the first disk, it prompts me to reinstall the entire CS4. I'm not sure how to go in and reinstall just the Acrobat part of it.
- Adobe doesn't provide this as a download, so I can't download a new version. So the CS4 is my only option, I believe.
- If my current Acrobat 9 Pro is messed up like it is, what procedure should I follow so as to be able to replace the bad one with the good.
- Is this version of CS4 Master Collection disks known to have a buggy Acrobat on it? Will installing it not solve the problem?

I googled Acrobat 1301, and the Adobe help threads I read all recommended that I uninstall the application, so I did. I opened the uninstaller and went through the procedure.
But then I got the following message:
"Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller."
This is weird, because the create date and date modified are all the same for the Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe Uninstaller and Adobe Distiller in the folder. So how could it be not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller?

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

An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.
-----------Second windows-----------

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.
