I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7?

I have a laptop that is running on Windows 7 and I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS4. It downloads the program file alright but when I click on the Set Up button it says "Cannot install Please click quit below" and then below it there are two bullet points that say:
-Adobe Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 - Adobe Photoshop CS4 not installed
-Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit) 11.0.1 - Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit) not installed
What exactly is going on? I tried running the set up in a different compatibility mode (e.g. Windows XP and Windows Vista) but no luck.
Am I even clicking the correct file in the folder? Or is my computer just not going to work with Adobe Photoshop CS4?

These are merely the updates. You need to instasll the base program first.

  • Install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Mac

    I have been trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 onto my MacBook Pro (2009 version) and it doesn't automatically popup to install. So i transferred the files to my "Application" on my mac. When i try to click on "Setup" an unreadable script appears. What do I do?? How can i get this to download??

    This indicates that you have a Windows version of the software.  This is why you are not able to install on your Macintosh.  Since Creative Suite 6 is the current version of the software you can either upgrade to Creative Suite 6, and choose the Mac platform, or possibly subscribe to the Creative Cloud which is multi-platform.  You can find more details on the Creative Cloud at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    Hi,
    Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
    Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
    Thanks

    No issues.
    On the contrary, subject to the image(s) being edited, Photoshop will thrive in a 64 bit Win 7 machine given the right tweaks.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    Be aware that two versions of Photoshop will be installed 32 bit and 64 bit. The 32 bit is there for legacy reasons with some plugins e.g. TWAIN scanner

  • When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

    When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the same issue:
    "Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
    If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
    1. Start
    2. Control Panel
    3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
    4. Event Viewer
    5. Application
    You will see something like this:
    Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
    "Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
    Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

  • 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.

  • I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and an error occurs.

    I am trying to install the above program and Error 30: The system cannot read from the specified device.  My DVD drive works so I don't understand why it is not finishing the install.  Then on my programs it says that I have Adobe Photoshop CS4.  Any ideas?

    This may do better posted in the Photoshop forum.

  • I can't install Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended at all

    I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (Trial Version) from the Adobe.com website through Akamai downloader. Well, i tried to install it clicking on the set up, but it started to install and a few minutes later stopped and displayed a error message. The message, without error code identifications, just informed that there was an error during the instalation and Adobe bridge and another one could not be installed.
    I tried again and it started, but when it was almost finishing another message appeared warning that "there was an error during the instalation(again no code error identification) and that Photoshop could not be installed.
    I follow some tips like shutting down the firewall, AV,  but it didn't work. I used the system restoring so that i could completely clean up remaining files and tried to reinstall it, but again nothing.
    Has anybody any idea?
    Thanks

    There is a difference between being the Administrator on the computer and right-clicking on the Setup file and choosing "Run as Administrator".
    I know that John, when i said that i usually run the system as administator, i meant that i logged on as administrator. Sorry if i caused a misunderstood.
    I decided to format the computer again. Perhaps, some problem during the system instalation may have caused this problem. After that, i'll try to install it and see what's gonna happen. I've decided to do it because If it is caused by an instalation error of the main system, it may  also cause hassles when using other softwares. But if it is not caused by an instalation error i'll come back to get help.
    Thanks for responding

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my Windows Vista 32bit system

    I have downloaded the download manager from your (Adobe) site and also downloaded the "Trial version" of Adobe Photoshop CS4. Both downloads complete, but when the installation gets to about 70 - 75% my computer crashes with the "Blue"screen informing me about what to do if this is the first time that it has happened and showing the memory dump "stats". So can anyone tell me what either I am doing wrong or what I should be doing differently to get this program installed? I would appreciate any and ALL help in this matter! Thank you in advance for your assistence with this issue.

    Please provide the info of the "fault module" listed on the BSOD. As Zeno said, it is highly unlikely that PS is the issue here, but rather a bad system driver or security tool that conks out when PS tries to install its components. Also provide more info about your system configuration.

  • Issue in installing adobe photoshop CS4

    i had this problem when im trying to install Adobe PS CS4
    as the image below :
    help please !!

    it is my friend's,
    think he downloaded it by torrent,
    is it illegal or something ?? i dont know, u tell me please
    Just an educated guess, but I would say YES, it is illegal, and will likely never run, nor will it function. There is NO legit version of PS on any torrent site.
    Adobe Store will be glad to sell you a full, legit version.
    Good luck,

  • Installing adobe photoshop cs4 on a windows 8.1 pc

    I am trying to install Photoshop CS4 o a new Windows 8.1 PC, but keep getting a message "The Installer Database is corrupt.  Please contact Adobe Customer Service"  Adobe no longer support CS4 and referred me to this forum.  I have already deactivated CS4 from my Windows 7 machine.
    Customer Services told me this forum can help.

    Run the cleaner tool and try again - this time with sufficient user permissions as admin and security stuff turned off.

  • Unable to install Adobe Photoshop Elements on Windows XP

    Adobe Photoshop Elements disc came with my Olympus camera but never installed on my computor. I tried to install it but it will not accept the numbers on the disc. Are these the numbers they are asking for? I cannot find any other numbers.

    The serial number for bundled versions is usually on the paper sleeve. Serial numbers are not on the disc itself. It will be a 24 digit number beginning with 1057-
