I have the install logs (i've tried installing a couple of times) but i can't see how to attach the files in this window.
Can you help me please?

Hello,
There can be many possible reasons for this Error.
Could be a possibility Microsoft_v80_CRX .msi is not getting installed or due to Error 1612
Please reply with complete information : Your Name & Contact Number (with country code)

Hi,
Looks as if you have your home folder on VMWare mapped back to the host OS drive, and that's triggering the initial failure in the log you posted. There's a faulty assumption in our installer's home folder logic that you've encountered, where it thinks your home folder is one level above your Documents folder, though we know that's not always true.
Here's a workaround you could try:
- Back up your Documents folder for safe keeping (\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Documents)
- create a new folder tree named \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\home\Documents. The folder in the middle doesn't need to be named "home", you can call it anything you want, but there needs to be a new folder in the middle. Make sure you have write access to that home folder, as well as to its Documents subfolder.
- in VMWare Windows, reconfigure your User settings, moving your "My Documents" location down to the one created below \home\.
That last step varies a little, depending on which version of Windows you're running. On Win7 you can do it this way:
- in your user home folder (\Users\yourUserName) locate the My Documents icon, and right-click it
- choose Properties
- in the "Location" tab, click Move, and then choose the \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\home\Documents fodler you created earlier on your VMWare host
On Vista, you can right-click the Documents icon in your Start Menu, choose Properties, and from there on it's about the same as on Win7.
On WinXP it looks slightly different:
- right-click your My Documents icon (often on the desktop for convenience), and select Properties
- the tab you want is named "Target" on WinXP, and then you can click Move to relocate it to the same location described earlier.
After moving your Documents location this way, I would reboot first, and then make sure any old copies of FB4 are completely removed before re-installing. I just tested this out on my own VMWare machine (Vista), and it worked here, so with any luck it will work there too.
Let me know how it goes,
-Chris
P.S. We'll be fixing this problem in the next release, but can only offer this workaround for now. Thanks for bearing with us.

Elements/Premiere 12 PC stopped working after trial version of Lightroom CC was installed / and uninstalled - I need help deactivating prior to rebuilding

Dear forum
After I installed a 90 trial version of Lightroom CC. I had an issue with it so uninstalled it, since then I have had Error dialog pop up after Win7 x64 Ultimate startup; and also every session, with Photoshop elements / premier 12,
I constantly get dynamiclinkmanager has stopped working.
ElementsAutoanalzer has stopped working,
and Adobe premier Elements 12 has stopped working
I'm fed up trying to resolve this issue which I believe was down to Lightroom CC installation, so I now want to upgrade from W7 Ult x64 to Win 8.1 x64 and reinstall all my apps.
However I need to deactivate Elements 12 / Premiere 12 on this PC before I rebuild / upgrade, but cannot, Premiere 12 does not load at all, and while Elements 12 loads, there is no option to deactivate the licence on this PC
This is my 2nd PC, I have Elements / premiere 12 also on my w8.1 laptop, which is fully working, so I don't want to touch that. I never tried Lightroom CC on my laptop.
Any ideas as to how to deactivate, I tried Adobe Sign in, but there is no option or link to email or call them, the support flowchart directs me here only.
Any help much appreciated, or even a contact Phone no for Adobe in UK
TIA
Ken

As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

Opening Lightroom 4 Trial Version after downloading to a MAC

I have downloaded the free trial version of Lightroom 4 to a MacBook Pro, however when I try to open it after installation it just asks me if I want to re-install it? Has anyone else had this problem and if so do you have a solution? Thanks.

What Mac? What is the exact error message? If it's the notorious "critical components missing" it may mean that your Mac doesn't mean the requirements or something went wrong during install indeed...

How to activate the trial version of lightroom 3

Hello,
I am new here and need some help.
I have downloaded the trial version of lightroom 3 in my home windows computer and like it very much. I have then proceeded to purchase a box copy which will only arrive after two weeks. However i do not plan to install it on my home computer but my new imac computer at my office where i will do all my photo editing.
My problem is i cannot wait for two weeks for the product to arrive. Can i download another trial version for my new imac in my office and when the box product comes can i just use the serial number and activate the trial version or do i have to uninstall the trial version and reinstall again. According to my seller she says that i cant do this because i need to reinstall the box product again which sounds weird to me.
My other question is the earlier trial version that i installed in my home computer, i dont plan to use it anymore, so can i just ignore it?
Thanks in advance.

Importing photos puts information for each one into the LR catalog, which is just a database that LR knows how to read and write. Reopening the catalog with a new install of LR would tell LR where each of those photos is, and what adjustments you'd made. You don't have to reimport as long as you reopen the same catalog file with the new install. You could try this on Windows: uninstall-reinstall-reopen, and see how it works to get comfortable with it. You only have to reimport if you lose your catalog, and have to start a new one. If you write the metadata to files, either automatically via a preference, or manually via the Metadata menu item and grid mode, then you can even have your adjustments intact if you have to reimport, but you'll lose your history and other things that are only in the catalog and not in the XMP sidecar files. These sidecar files is probably the only way to transfer edits from the PC version to the Mac version of LR which you probably hadn't considered. At least I don't think you can copy the LR catalog file from a PC and open it on a Mac.
If the LR trial expires before you have a serial number then you can't use it, but once you do enter in the serial number, you can pick up where you left off.
Lightroom isn't activated like Photoshop where there is a Adobe-server record of each computer and serial number. LR is just either an unregistered-trial, an expired-trial or registered. LR is smart enough to understand if you've installed it on the computer, before, so you can't extend a trial by uninstalling and re-installing w/o reformatting your HD and reinstalling the OS, or at least I think that is enough.

Can trial version of Lightroom CC sync with mobile?

I have the trial version of Lightroom and I have Lightroom Mobile installed on my iPad. I have sync turned on, but on the iPad (logged in) it says no collections available. I can't find anywhere online whether the trial version of the desktop app is allowed to sync. But if I can't sync a small set of photos to understand how well it works, I won't purchase the CC subscription. I can't figure out what the point is of a trial version if you can't see how the sync feature works. It seems like the whole concept of CC is the mobile connection.

Please refer to:
Yes, Lightroom mobile is available for iPad and iPhone. With Lightroom mobile, you can edit and organize photos in your Lightroom 5 catalog anywhere, anytime. Lightroom mobile requires a Creative Cloud Photography or complete membership. A 30-day trial is also available.

I am using Lightroom 3 and need to access a catalog I created with a trial version of Lightroom 4.

I need to access a catalog I created with a trial version of Lightroom 4. I am currently using Lightroom 3. Can someone help me find a way to get my images from this catalog? I don't want to upgrade at this point as I am running on a mid 2007 iMac and would need to buy new RAM, upgrade my OS, etc.... I would rather wait and spend the money on a new system when I'm ready.

Hi Rikk,
I just saw your answer to Deborah,
Does this mean catalogs not backward compatable in regards to metadata and keywords as well?
I am working on a giant archiving project here in India. The main system here is a Mac G5 Tower at 10.6.8, and it's running LR 3.2. I have my MacBook Air here, running Mavericks and LR 4.4.1.
I want to take the archive catalog OFF of LR 3.2, put it on the Air, running 4.4.1 - then ADD metadata and keywords to the catalog images while on the Air and THEN re-install/import/export/etc the catalog back to the main tower LR 3.2 with out starting a huge problem of version/upgrades/etc. That way another person can be using the tower to scan while I do keywords.
I have only a week more here for this project. If anyone knows asap would be great. Thanks in advance.

Problem Downloading Trial Version of Lightroom 4 from Adobe Site

Problem dow
I am having problem downolading a trial version of Lightroom 4 from the Adobe site. It appears that I can download trial versions of any other digital photography-related product but not of Lightroom 4. About 2 weeks ago I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Elements and I have been getting familiar with it. I have to make a decision on the best product for my needs.
I went to Vistek shop in Ottawa yesterday and one of the specialist told me that maybe Lightroom would better meet my needs. Prior to purchasing, I am trying to test both product to understand the fundamental differences. For some reason, when I go to the download site ( https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom) and click on the download button, nothing happens. Given that I am a System's Engineer by trade, I thought that perhaps I cannot install 2 trial copies of adobe products on a single workstation so I tried downloading Lightroom 4 from 3 different PC/laptops but got the same results...
Can anybody help. This is a bit frustrating given that the Adobe element trial is coming to an end (about 2 weeks) and I want to proceed with purchasing the RIGHT PRODUCT...

The link, just above, is the latest update to LR 4.2 which may work fine.
About the original trial download page you had issues with, it does take a few seconds for the download button to become active, and once you click it, it takes a few more seconds for either a login pop to come up or the download, itself, to start, so maybe you have a popup blocker enabled or some security that doesn’t allow the download to occur. You might try a different browser. The following link is what the download attempts to use, but you need to have signed in to your Adobe account before trying to use it, I think:

Problem downloading trial version of Lightroom 4

I am trying to download the trial version of Lightroom 4 for Windows (English), but nothing happens when I click on the "Download" button. This is very weird. I am a current user of PSE 10, and I would like to see if I should also get Lightroom 4, because I find that the Organizer in PSE is too slow, and hope that Lightroom would be much better from comments I read on the Internet.

Thanks. It worked with Google Chrome, but was not working with Internet Explorer.

When you click Download, the download should start automatically. It could be that a pop-up/download blocker/anti-virus is preventing the download. As a first step, you could try using a different web browser to download from the following link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroo m

I have downloaded the trial version of lightroom.

I have downloaded the trial version of lightroom. Now i have purchased the student and teacher edition of creative cloud, However when I go into my lightroom it still is under the trial set and it either wants me to enter the key code or continue the trial how do i fix this

You should uninstall the LR trial that is asking for a serial number, then quit the CC Desktop app, then restart it, at which point Lr should show in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it.
There can be only one LR installed at a time, so if your trial is there, the CC Desktop won’t install another.

I started a trial of creative cloud and downloaded lightroom. I decided to buy lightroom on amazon because I liked it. Now when I try to license the trial version of lightroom with the serial number, it says it's invalid. Why?

The standalone version and the CC version are both the same exact program, but the licensing is completely different. It will be necessary for you to uninstall the creative cloud trial version and then install the one you purchased from Amazon. After you install, you will be able to open the same catalog and continue from where you were.
